5. Field of Dreams. A great movie that is really about fathers and sons. This was a close one between this movie and THE SANDLOT, but Field of Dreams won out for one important reason: James Earl Jones. His “people will come” speech still gives me goose bumps.
4. Rudy. Just a great feel good movie about an underachiever who did something special.
3. Caddyshack. The best golf movie ever…and possibly one of the most often quoted sports movies of all time. A hilarious cast and terrific script.
2. Cinderella Man. Amazing cast, incredibly shot, and a truly heart warming story that is based upon the true story of James J. Braddock. In my mind we could do a top five of Russell Crow movies alone. The guy is that amazing.
1. Hoosiers. I’m an Indiana boy and so for me this was an obvious choice. The best basketball movie ever and coincidentally based upon the championship game between the tiny Milan High School vs. my high school alma mater, Muncie Central.

"Quotation"
Just a question, but is it ever really appropriate to use quotation marks for the word quotation? There’s just something unnatural about it…and give me the creeps. I don’t know about you…but it’s just something I was thinking about.
