Happy Gilmore and Caddyshack are my favorites from that list. Who can ever forget the scene in Happy Gilmore where Bob Barker beats the crap out of Adam Sandler? Classic...just classic.

Another one that wasn't listed was The Sandlot...that was one of my favs as a kid.

1. Slapshot. The initial VHS version subbed other songs for "Right Back Where We Started From" and "Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word". Broadcast versions kept the songs but cut the wonderful cursing. I need a version that has it all. :)

2. Bull Durham. I think of this movie whenever I'm feeling wooly.

Slapshot. I had the chance to see the real Hanson brothers in person , Yes they are just as funny in real life.

Does "the fast and the furious" count? That's if you consider illegal street racing to be a sport :D

How about this oldie that shows up on TCM from time to time. Pat O'Brien as Knute Rockne and Ronald Reagan as George (The Gipper) Gipp in "Knute Rockne All-American........

Well, it isn't exactly a feel good film, but Bang the Drum Slowly is an excellent film, although the video and audio quality of the just released DVD leave something to be desired.
