The Greatest HOCKEY Movies, Ever

5. Youngblood (1986; Dir. by Peter Markle and starring Rob Lowe, Patrick Swayze, and Cynthia Gibb)

 

Blane Youngblood: “You can learn to punch in the barn, but you gotta learn to survive on the ice.”

Youngblood is a classic 80s movie in every sense: It has booming synth music, dimly-lit montages, and Patrick Swayze. It might not be the most popular movie in the hockey catalogue, but I’ll be damned if we at Game 6 are going to sit here and pretend like it’s not wildly entertaining anyway.

The Greatest GOLF Movies, Ever

5. The Greatest Game Ever Played (2005; Dir. by Bill Paxton and starring Shia LeBeouf)

 

Francis Ouimet: “All I want is a chance.”

The golf movie catalogue is admittedly thin. Let’s just say The Greatest Game Ever Played won’t make Friday’s top-25. But that doesn’t mean it isn’t enjoyable in its own right.

Game 6’s Greatest Sports Movies Series

We here at Game 6 love to start arguments. There’s nothing like a good row to get the comments flowing. But as much as we enjoy starting arguments, we really love to settle ’em – and I like to think we’ve done a pretty good job over the years. We’ve hit the hardwood – Jordan vs. LeBron (Jordan) – tackled tennis (cool) – and ranked the greatest sports video games of all time (NHL ’94 #1). This week, we take you to the movies, one sport at a time, in the Game 6 Guide to the Greatest Sports Movies, Ever.
