Best Sports Movie Bracket: Elite Eight

by Mick Lite

Your Elite 8 (in no particular order):

  1. Remember The Titans
  2. Major League
  3. Field Of Dreams
  4. Rudy
  5. Happy Gilmore
  6. Bull Durham
  7. Sandlot
  8. A League Of Their Own

The Waterboy, who upset The Mighty Ducks in the first round and easily beat The Replacements in the second round, lost to  #1 seed Remember The Titans.

#9 seed Major League cruises into the Elite 8 with easy victories over Days of Thunder, Cool Runnings, and The Blind Side.

# 4 seed Field of Dreams had easy wins over Bloodsport and White Men Can’t Jump before a closer matchup with Moneyball.

#5 seed Rudy keeps pushing on after wins against Talladega Nights, Pride of The Yankees, and Friday Night Lights.

#10 seed Bull Durham cruises into the Elite 8 with 3 easy wins over Semi Pro, Angels in the Outfield, and For Love Of The Game.

#3 seed Sandlot had two easy wins over Gladiator and Varsity Blues before knocking off Rocky.

A League of Their Own beat out The Babe, Dodgeball, and then upset #6 seed Hoosiers!

#50 Seed Happy Gilmore is the Cinderella Story of the bracket. One of the least nominated movies, and paired up against some elite talent, it just will not die. A first round win over hockey classic Slap Shot was not a fluke as it went on to upset Caddyshack, and then knocked off the #2 seeded Miracle. Just an unbelievable run.
