This might be the toughest call of the draft for me, with so many good choices in this category...

Team PTA selects Creed - Boxing

 

[ResilientBeast]

I'll induct Will Ferrel into the two movies club with Talladega Nights - Other (Racing)

Great one! Was on my short list of contenders for my final Other pick, I hope one of them makes it back to me.

Oh and that reminds me, Sly is now a 3-timer after Creed

Motorsports is oddly my deepest list, I don't think I realized how most of the movies I would pick belong in "other" lol

Yeah I keep thinking of movies for Other. I don't know about everyone else, but I could've made it to 10 rounds with 2 more picks in Other.

@ResilientBeast I just checked out your Roster post, you're the King of Comedy so far, 5 out of your 6.

That tracks pretty well, I'm drawn to funny movies.

If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball.

Love the Ferrell movies of that era, almost all of them. I had another Ferrell on my list yesterday, but could have gone with this one too.

I enjoyed watching this one in Theatres, although even if objectively a better movie, I will still always prefer the Rocky's.

His run of movies between 2001-2010 is legendarily good for a comedic actor

Zoolander (2001)
Old School (2003)
Elf (2003)
Anchorman (2004)
Talladega Nights (2006)
Semi Pro (2008)
Step Brothers (2008)
The Other Guys (2010)

And that's with a couple of movies I enjoy removed for "reasons"

Also a secondary character in Wedding Crashers, Starsky & Hutch and Austin Powers.

Bolded are my favorites, but I love them all. I also loved Anchorman 2, thought it was underrated.

Among comic actors, maybe Eddie Murphy or Bill Murray can compete. Thankfully we don't have to choose.

Growing up, this was in the VHS heavy rotation in our house. A classic.

Man, I was searching for that movie's name yesterday but had only the vaguest memories. I just know it was damn good. Thanks for that, immediate download.

Team Eastwood selects Million Dollar Baby, boxing

@Claude The Fraud is back on the clock

I disagree with VI's opinion that Million Dollar Baby is not a top 6 boxing movie, it belongs here. I had it on my list as a three way toss-up with Creed and one other that's still available for the number 3 slot (after the big 2 of Raging Bull and Rocky).

Edit: One reason I went with Creed is because I already had a dark/disturbing sports movie with The Wrestler

I only saw Rush once, but remember it being pretty good, nice pick

For those that haven't done so yet, please put your "Roster" of movies in the first post you made in this thread to sign up.

I’ll go with a tennis movie, «Borg vs McEnroe».

I'm sorry Tony, Documentaries are not allowed. Please pick another.

A great movie though

 

[Hawkey Town 18]

Since Tony is the only one with a Basketball movie left, we can proceed with picking. Tony still gets his full clock when it comes back to him.

Tony, you can make up the pick whenever you like

Man if docs were allowed my list would be incredible
