The Best Sports Movies Of All Time

It is really pretty easy to define what a sports movie is. Any movie that revolves around an athlete—or athletes—or takes place in an athletic setting can be placed in this category. But what makes one of these movies great can be much harder to pinpoint. If you were to ask a person what it is that makes a great sports movie great, you may hear one of any number of responses. Sports movies can be considered great for their ability to be anything from entertaining and funny to suspenseful, heart-warming, and inspiring.

Some, perhaps the best, contain a combination of the above traits. They will make you cry your eyes out in one scene and laugh out loud in the next. They will have you cheering for the hero when he is down and out. And they will have you booing his archrival, whether it is the member of another team or a crooked prison warden.

You may or may not disagree, but here is our list of the 25 best sports movies of all time, with the years they were released, the sports they featured, and who starred in them. Our list includes all styles of movies within the genre—important directorial feats, such as Scorsese’s Raging Bull, as well as documentaries like Hoop Dreams, comedies like Talladega Nights, Caddyshack, and Major League, and the movie that spawned the franchise of all franchises, Rocky.

Over the years, waxing has gotten a bad rap as an exceptionally painful process. The reality of the situation is that if done correctly, waxing is no more painful than plucking hairs with a set of tweezers. But it is much faster, so what little discomfort there is, only lasts a few seconds as opposed to the potential hours you may spend tweezing. The people with the biggest fear of waxing tend to be men. Part of that reason comes from growing up in a macho society where men “don’t wax”, and part of it comes from the movies. If you are a guy who could stand to have certain parts of your body undergo a good shearing, you may want to look into one of the many Denver waxing salons that specialize in getting rid of your hair quickly.

Movies have made waxing out to be so painful, that even the toughest of guys cringe when the wax goes on the first time. There is no two ways around it, the first time you are waxed, it probably will not be the most pleasant experience you have ever had, but if done by a profession, it is not going to rip off any of your body parts either. Any time you pull a hair out of your body at the follicle, it is going to cause discomfort. One of the reasons to have a profession provide you with a waxing service is that many of them use a formulation that not only allows them to wax your body, but also has a numbing agent mixed in. The numbing agent serves to desensitize the area the wax is applied to, thus, making it less painful for you. Additionally, after that first wax, your hair will start to grow back finer, and pulling it out of your skin will not hurt nearly as much.

If you are tired of walking around and being confused from that creature from Harry and the Henderson’s it’s time to look into finding a Denver waxing professional to help you take care of that situation. It is not the seventies anymore, and Burt Reynolds and his hairy body have long gone out of style.

John Lennon’s Killer Denied Parole For Sixth Time

Edit Article |

]]>

Mark David Chapman, the man who killed John Lennon, was denied parole for a sixth time on Sept. 7, 2010.

A New York State Division of Parole board denied Chapman request “due to concern for the public safety and welfare.”

Chapman, 55, has been eligible for parole since 2000. He can apply for conditional release every two years. The next time he’ll go before a parole board will be August of 2012.

“I felt that by killing John Lennon I would become somebody and instead of that I became a murderer and murderers are not somebodies,” Chapman told the parole board.

“I made a horrible decision to end another human being’s life for reasons of selfishness, and that was my decision at that time.”

Chapman’s parole was opposed by Lennon’s widow, Yoko Ono.

Ono, who witnessed her husband getting shot, has been adamantly against Chapman’s release from the beginning. In 2006, she purchased one-page advertisements in several newspapers saying she hadn’t yet forgiven Chapman.

“… the average person on the street would probably say, ‘Leave him in,’ and I understand that,” explained Chapman. “I can understand the feelings.”

In a transcript of the hearing, we’ve come to learn that Chapman was also considering killing Johnny Carson or Elizabeth Taylor.

“If it wasn’t Lennon, it could have been someone else,” he said.

Chapman has mentioned other targets at parole hearings before but their names were redacted.

However, in previous interviews Chapman mentioned names like Paul McCartney, Ronald Regan, and Jackie Onassis. Chapman admits he had a list but some of the names have slipped his mind. Perhaps he had his eyes on celebrities like Mick Jagger, Roger Waters, Burt Reynolds, or Richard Pryor? Who can say?

Ultimately, Chapman settled on Lennon because he was the most accessible.

“Instead of taking my life I took somebody else’s, which was unfortunate.”

Chapman shot and killed Lennon outside of The Dakota apartment building on Dec. 8, 1980. He was sentenced to 20 years to life in prison after pleading guilty to second-degree murder.

Chapman had gone to New York in October with the hopes of killing Lennon but didn’t have any ammunition for his Charter Arms .38 special revolver (he said he couldn’t buy ammo in New York). Chapman managed to obtain some hollow point bullets from an unwitting friend in Atlanta.

Chapman returned to Manhattan in November intent on killing Lennon but balked after seeing the film “Ordinary People.” After a tearful call to his wife, Chapman returned to his home in Hawaii.

The desire to kill Lennon (be somebody famous) soon returned. On Dec. 6, Chapman skipped an appointment with a psychologist and flew back to New York City.

On Dec. 8, Lennon and Ono had their photograph taken by Annie Leibovitz. The picture would eventually adorn the cover of Rolling Stone magazine. Originally, Leibovitz only wanted to take John’s picture—no one wanted Ono on the cover—but he insisted Yoko be in the shot. After Leibovitz left The Dakota, Lennon gave the last interview of his life to a deejay from San Francisco.

At around 5:00pm, about six hours before Lennon’s death, Chapman got the former Beatles’ autograph outside The Dakota. There’s an eerie photograph of John signing Chapman’s copy of “Double Fantasy” (Lennon’s last album). As the legend goes, Lennon asked Chapman “Is this all you want?” Chapman only nodded his head.

Lennon and Ono were leaving for the famous Record Plant Studio to mix a song called “Walking on Thin Ice.” The Record Plant Studios were a collection of three state-of-the-art studios known for recording some of music’s best albums. The long list of classic albums includes “Electric Ladyland” by Jimi Hendrix, “Hotel California” by Eagles, and “Rumors” by Fleetwood Mac.

About ten minutes to eleven, Lennon and Ono returned to the Dakota. Lennon wanted to come home instead of dining out so he could say goodnight to his son, Sean. Chapman was still standing outside of The Dakota waiting for his chance to kill Lennon.

John and Yoko exited their limousine which was parked on the street rather than in the building’s secured courtyard. As Lennon walked towards The Dakota’s entrance, Chapman emerged from shadows and fired five shots. Four of the bullets hit Lennon in the back and shoulder—the first nicked his aorta.

Lennon was pronounced dead at 11:15pm.

Chapman calmly remained on the scene and was arrested without incident. He was reading J.D. Salinger’s “The Catcher in the Rye” when the NYPD blue arrived.

The book, first published in 1951, plays a prominent, if not encouraging, role in the death of John Lennon. Chapman identified with the novel’s main character, Holden Caulfield.

The edition Chapman was reading after he gunned Lennon down had been purchased upon his return to the Big Apple. On the inside of the cover Chapman wrote “This is my statement” and signed it “Holden Caulfield.

Lennon’s death is arguably the darkest day in the history of rock and roll. The world of music not only lost one of its most talented and creative artists but it also lost its conscience and its leader.

Sadly, Lennon’s death was sandwiched between several other losses to the rock and roll family. Earlier that same year Led Zeppelin lost drummer John Bonham. In 1982, Randy Rhoads, lead guitarist for Ozzy Osbourne, died in a plane crash. And the following year, fans said good bye to Dennis Wilson of the Beach Boys.

Lennon would have been 70 in October.

The Best Football Movies of All Time

I was pretty fixated on the NFL draft last night, which got me in the mood for my next favorite thing after football: movies. And what better than a football movie on NFL draft day? I’ve seen them all, trust me, and feel like I have a pretty good handle on some of the greatest of all time. So, without further silliness, here are my favs, in no particular order.

Nick Nolte and Mac Davis brought us the seedier, steamier side of the NFL in North Dallas Forty. Derived from the book by the same name, written by former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Pete Gent, the movie is as good today as when it came out in 1979.

Brian’s Song is one of those movies that had it all, including the ability to make tough men cry. I’m not so tough, so I get weepy just thinking about how good this movie really is. James Caan and Billy Dee Williams star in what are arguably the best roles of their careers in a made-for-TV movie of all things.

If you’ve never seen the original The Longest Yard with Burt Reynolds, do yourself a favor and get a copy of it ASAP. Reynolds is an incredibly believable quarterback-turned-convict. The movie is benefited from the use of real life NFL stars Joe Kapp and Ray Nitschke, and is one of the greatest guards-versus-inmate movies of any genre.

Two movies you might not immediately consider are from a different era. The 1925 silent film The Freshman is the father of all underdog-becomes-hero movie in which the water boy becomes the star of the big game. Also, the Marx Brothers’ classic, Horse Feathers, from 1932, is a movie to be cherished by all. It’s nonstop Groucho Marx as the president of Huxley College, bound and determined to implement a quick fix for the school’s lousy football team. The two “ringers” Groucho winds up with are, of course, Harpo and Chico. Needless to say, hilarity by the bucketsful, ensues.

One of my favorite football movies of all time has got to be Jerry Maguire starring Tom Cruise, Renee Zellweger, and Cuba Gooding Jr., who won an Oscar for his role as “Show Me the Money” wide receiver, Rod Tidwell. While this movie didn’t necessarily have me at hello, it did grow on me, particularly the Arizona locales. I’ve spent a lot of time at Sun Devil Stadium and it was great to see so many familiar locations. In a strange way it kind of made me feel a bit like an insider. I really loved the relationship between Cruise and Gooding Jr., and didn’t at all feel like the love story between Cruise and Zellweger detracted at all. There’s certainly nothing wrong with a movie that leaves you feeling good about things.

There’s never a shortage of great football movies on DISH Network. In fact, between the premium channels, pay-per-view, and DISH ON Demand, there are more than 16,000 movies to choose from each month. Many of them, of course, are football movies so get in the game and score the winning touchdown with one of the great DISH TV packages!
