Can we talk about how good Goon was?
I'm going to watch the sequel soon, but this was probably the best sports movie I've ever seen.

It's a good movie but "best sports movie" it certainly aint.
Alison Pill should never ever play a leading role in anything, especially not a fucking love interest. She has the face of a little boy. Also I'm not sure it's a film that needed a sequel. |
Space Jam is the best sports movie
|
Goon was pretty damn good but no Slapshot good. We'll see about Goon2 when I get a chance to see it
|
The best sports movie is the The Benchwarmers
|
Goon was better than Slapshot. Hated Benchwarmers.
|
If I was being serious I'd say the best sports movie is Tin Cup, Field Of Dreams or Rocky.
|
I agree, The Goon was an unexpected good movie.
|
Goon was really good. Haven't seen the sequel yet.
|
Goon was great. Goon 2 was alright. Greatest sports movie ever is A League Of Their Own.
|
What are the best sport movies by genre?

I want to see Hockey live again. Good memories.

If they get rid of the enforcer then Goon 2 may be the only sequel
|
This thread just made me realise which film I recognised Alison Pill from when watching American Horror Story.
|
I know her from the HBO hit series The Newsroom
|
Meant to say it was Scott Pilgrim I remembered her from .

I loved the Goon and have watched it many times on Netflixs.
But favorite sports movie is The Replacements. |

That's almost like saying CB4 was better than This Is Spinal Tap. |

What is the best football movie?

Today I learned they called The Mighty Ducks just "Champions" in some parts of the world.........
Weird....... Good pick for a sports movie, though |
They called the sequel "The Mighty Ducks" here also, it caused a bit of confusion for us as children.
|
By the DVD era they were released here as The Mighty Ducks and D2: The Mighty Ducks though so it all worked out eventually

Slapshot is one of those Paul Newman films I always want to see but have never had a chance. I don't think it has ever been on TV while I was watching.
|
Oh God, it's on all the time here in Canada
|
Slapshit is what I call that crapfest. Typical Canadian unfunny nonsense. Such a lame movie from a lame country.
|
I love Canada

I picked up Goon 2 for £3 yesterday. It is not the film that the first one was, that's for sure.
It made me think though. I suppose it's trying to do a semi serious take on the enforcer in hockey and they could hardly celebrate smashing heads now what with CTE issue becoming huge news. It was a weird mixture of violence and disapproval and honestly the plot was just so thin. I've seen films held together by less but they usually had a lot of great scenes to distract you from the plot development. You can tell that Evan Goldberg wasn't involved in the writing this time. I would advise Jay Baruchel to find a creative writing partner if he wants to try directing another film. |
How the fuck has the Sandlot not been mentioned? Or the Natural? Or Major League? You guys are killing me.
|
Well, it was mostly about hockey movies for most of it.
|
Oh....well fuck
