#15 – Bull Durham
Any Kevin Costner movie placing in the top 15 of any movie list that's not "World's Suckiest Movies" means that "Bull Durham" must have had an amazing script and cast (outside of Kevin Costner).
#14 – Blades of Glory
And so the run of Will Ferrell sports movies begins. It's amazing a comedy about figure skating hadn't been done before 2007. It's like shooting flamboyant, sequined fish in a barrel.
#13 – Semi-Pro
One year after "Blades of Glory," Will Ferrell released "Semi-Pro," the story of an actor who had happened on an untapped genre of easy comedies: movies about niche sports and/or leagues that have embarrassing clothing.
#12 – The Mighty Ducks
Quiz time.
- Goalie
"Be careful man, it almost hit me that time!"
- Teammate
"You're the goalie. It's supposed to hit you."
Famous line from "The Mighty Ducks," or Philadelphia Flyers players mic'd up during the playoffs?
Trick question. It's both.
#11 – Cool Runnings
Despite its popularity, "Cool Runnings" made only $68 million at the box office. That's domestically, though. It probably did really well in Jamaica.
