[Rocket89]

How 'bout when Rudy gets into ND?

 

[Ironman8]

Al's pregame speech in Any Given Sunday

 

[BurningRiver]

When the Indians win the championship in major league. Closest Cleveland's come to a championship in almost 50 years. Always brings a tear to my eye.

Also would be when Rudy gets onto the field and gets that sack and then is carried off is a great one

 

[Irish4Life09]

Far and away the best ever is conversation of Rudy and Fortune when Rudy quits the team.

"In this lifetime, you don't have to prove nothin to no one, 'cept yourself."

 

[IrishLax]

Al's pregame speech in Any Given Sunday

You mean the halftime inches speech?

 

[Ironman8]

You mean the halftime inches speech?

Mea culpa. I did mean halftime, not pregame. Thanks.

 

[GreatGolson]

The gipper speech

 

[KPENN]

In "Miracle" the this is your time speech and then of course beating the soviets

 

[irishtrain]

Remember the Titans- coach gives them the orders after he straightes out the ref-blitz all night/no one crosses line of scrimmage/ make them remember the night they played the Titans.

 

[ThePiombino]

Al's halftime speech in Any Given Sunday

This

 

[twig21]

Hard to beat when Rudy gets into ND, but I really love in Field of Dreams when the daughter of the farmer (Kevin Costner) says Daddy there is a man in your field, and it is Shoeless Joe Jackson, major goosebumps!

that's a good one

 

[NDinFL]

Cinderella Man... with Russel Crow..

When he's on the way to the title fight with Max Baer and he has the whole community behind him cheering him on.

Then when he wins, and the ring announcer says, "winner, and the NEW Heavyweight champion" and the crowd explodes.....

definite goosebumps

[Mr. McGibblets]

Cool Runnings


When they are running on record time and crash and the Jamaican bobsled team walks the sled accross the finish line.

 

[Fan of the Irish]

Facing the Giants

When the coach makes Brock do the death crawl blind folded and he takes him 100 yards.

 

[GEORGIA DOMER]

<iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/khauvdb_f8A" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> one time!!!

 

[A Pac]

Far and away the best ever is conversation of Rudy and Fortune when Rudy quits the team.

"In this lifetime, you don't have to prove nothin to no one, 'cept yourself."

This.

I love this scene.

 

[Freeman Ara]

In no particular order:

The homerun that takes out the lights at the end of The Natural

James Earl Jones and his "People will come Ray" speech in Field of Dreams.

Also, when Ray says "Dad, want to have a catch?" from Field of Dreams.

Rudy being carried off the field

 

[OchoShayneO]

when joe cooper hits the game winner in baseketball

 

[InKellyITrust]

Al's pregame speech in Any Given Sunday

I gave this speech in a college speech & debate class. I was penalized a full letter grade for using the F word in class. Good memories.

 

[rtrn2glory]

Wild thing returns in Major League 2...strikes out Jack Parkman with three pitches the last 102 mph.

Charlie's good ole days long behind him regardless of what he says.

 

[ACamp1900]

growing up in a baseball family and understanading completely the story of Cosner's character in Field of Dreams... the moment "Uh, Dad.... (cries) want to have a catch?"....

is the one of best/hardest moment in movie history... I'm choking up just thinking about it...


The moment in Cinderella Man when he swallows his pride and goes back to the Garden offices and begs for money to turn the heat on... any father/real man who has dealt with even remote finace problems has to be touched HARD by that... cry every time...


those are two right there... of course Rudy's dad reacting to his glory is huge too, but obvious for this site.

 

[rikkitikki08]

Cinderella Man has a few of my favorite sports memories. When he fights max baer at the end

The Fighter also has a scene in which christian bale realizes while he is in jail what drugs have done to him. He starts to come off the drugs and then you see him air boxing with himself in his sell. Powerful stuff

 

[ab2cmiller]

Ricky Bobby praying with his family and Cal around the Dinner table ..... brings a tear to my eye just thinking about that special moment

 

[irishpat183]

-If you don't tear up at the part in Cinderella man, there is something wrong with you. Very powerful scene.

And I aways thought the best part in Rudy was when he reads the letter of him getting in. All that emotion justs runs outta him and it's screams, Finally.
