Over the years, Hollywood has perfected the formula for a good sports movie: the underdog-always-wins plot, the motivational coach speeches, the sideline or locker room melodrama, the swelling symphonic score, the jubilant crowd erupting in hysteric fan fever. As much as we love a good sports movie, Hollywood seems to pump out at least a dozen cheesy sports flicks for ever "Raging Bull," "Hoosiers," or "Caddyshack." Some sports movies are so comically bad that they make you wonder what the hell the filmmakers were smoking while creating their priceless Disney moments.

We decided to embark on a noble mission of rounding up and ranking the 100 corniest sports movies of all time. Before ripping out our throats in vengeful disagreement, we'd like to make it clear that our definition of "corny" does not necessarily mean that a movie is terrible, or even bad. That said, plenty of the movies on the list are more painful to watch than taking a ice skate blade to the jugular (thank you, "Blades of Glory"). We guarantee you've watched at least one of these movies on a football-less Saturday afternoon while recuperating from a hangover. Quite a few of the movies on the list are quotable cult classics and others are nostalgically entertaining, particularly if you were born in the 80s or early 90s. Think of this as the ultimate resource to consult when queuing up your Netflix to cope with your post-Super Bowl melancholy. Our list spans five different posts and includes a couple hours of embeddable video, so save your comments, suggestions, and grievances until the very end. Check it out after the jump.

How is D2 on this list?!?! After I saw that D2 was listed as a cornier movie than 'Balls of Fury' I instantly stopped reading this article.... Disgraceful.

this article is an absolute disgrace to some of the greatest movies of our generation. Varsity Blues, Major League, Little Big League, Space Jam, Any given sunday etc etc. These are movies every bro grew up to and idolized as a young bro.
