I just watched "Moneyball" (2011) again the other night and it's really good.

However, I'm gonna have to give the nod to "Field of Dreams" (1989).

I, Tonya (2017)
Rush (2013)
Australian Rules (2002)
The World's Fastest Indian (2005)

and Cool Runnings (1993) is always a joy. Man I miss John Candy.

Not claiming they're the greatest, but great.

My favorites are Rush and Cinderella Man.

Yes both films by Ron Howard. One is about is about F1 and the other about Box but both very thrilling and fun with great performances in the leading roles.

Even though it’s not from Ron Howard after my love for Rush I’m looking forward to see Ferrari vs Ford. I feel like I’m gonna love it as much as Rush.

I watched Rush 4 Times in theaters.

Rush was such a pleasant surprise, it combined two things I couldn't be more ambivalent about (motor racing and Ron Howard) but I couldn't agree with you more, it was utterly thrilling. I really like seeing Chris Hemsworth in something where he isn't waving his hammer in front of a green-screen too.

Both movies are fantastic and it’s a shame they weren’t successful. I saw both of them in theaters.
