2024-12-13 19:01:48 +0000 UTCThe Wrestler is such an underrated masterpiece. I don’t see it ever winning a poll but you def should still give it a watch.

2024-12-13 08:58:51 +0000 UTCMoneyball isn't really a sports movie, it's a math movie. If you want emotional stuff, both the Wrestler and Iron Claw would be better choices. I agree that Moneyball isn't the greatest choice. The Wrestler is a "sister movie" to Black Swan. Aronofsky called Black Swan a companion piece to his previous film The Wrestler, recalling one of his early projects about a love affair between a wrestler and a ballerina. He eventually separated the wrestling and the ballet worlds as "too much for one movie". The Iron Claw is more about family and is a true story. I won't push for Raging Bull since it's in last place. But yeah, if you want to watch Moneyball go for it, I would pressure for going for the #2 choice in this instance though.

2024-12-13 00:40:13 +0000 UTCMoneyball Moneyball Moneyball. Great Aaron Sorkin. Great Phil Hoffman. 50’s style movie star performance from Pitt.

2024-12-12 16:22:42 +0000 UTCI also agree lol

2024-12-12 13:07:10 +0000 UTCRaging Bull is a good movie but I am happy as for Moneyball, really loved it.
Ben Curran
2024-12-12 08:01:52 +0000 UTCone day somebody will react to searching for bobby fischer....one of the best sports movies/feel good movies ever. really well done. its about chess so its a bit different though.
michael anderson
2024-12-12 07:22:16 +0000 UTCI voted for The Iron Claw. I haven't seen it, but based on the story it's setting out to tell, I assume it would make a better reaction video for Nat than Moneyball. Hopefully, we eventually get both.
Jason Smith
2024-12-12 05:46:20 +0000 UTCWarrior (2011) was a decent movie that could have been an option, honestly its a pretty mid category so its hard to get excited for any of them.
Ganja The Green
2024-12-12 01:56:16 +0000 UTCMoneyball is the best sports themed movie of all time.
Grigsy
2024-12-12 01:39:22 +0000 UTCThough if Nat were to watch Raging Bull, she should watch if not already "Rocky" and then once done with the Rocky's she should then watch "Grudge Match" to bring them all together. LOL
PopeyeNelson
2024-12-12 01:15:56 +0000 UTCTelling you right now Natalie, you wouldn't like Moneyball that much. It's a slow paced movie about a baseball manager organizing a team. I personally enjoy the movie, but it doesn't lend itself well to a reaction video
Kage Beverly
2024-12-12 00:03:45 +0000 UTCagreed
Kage Beverly
2024-12-12 00:02:01 +0000 UTCmost likely because the otherones are mid
MJ Eid
2024-12-11 23:26:35 +0000 UTCHoestly WArrior should have been on this list.
MJ Eid
2024-12-11 23:01:31 +0000 UTCFor the love of god can the Ironclaw win lol she should honestly just watch it
FateMalone
2024-12-11 23:00:32 +0000 UTCShe is never going to see The Iron Claw at this rate 😂
Alberto Ramirez
2024-12-11 22:59:06 +0000 UTCHi Nat. A random suggestion for movie reaction that might be worth considering - Green Book. Based on a true story.
RawrSaur
2024-12-11 22:35:37 +0000 UTCYou should check out the Replacements with Keanu Reeves, its a late 90s gem
Matt Harris
2024-12-11 22:25:09 +0000 UTCMoneyball is great, it's not a conventional sports movie. It's a shame though that The Wrestler will probably never win a poll, it's a very emotional and intimate movie. And then Raging Bull is just in it's own category of classic film., Scorcese at his best.
Wesley
2024-12-11 22:11:16 +0000 UTCLet's Go Oakland! #selltheteam Moneyball is a classic, Iron Claw is one you should definitely watch at some point. Also idk where else to put recs but, if you're looking for a new animated show, Creature Commandos has been really good and the 3rd ep will be out this week. Start of DC Universe for James Gunn, itll be a good lead-in to the Superman movie next year (that I also hope you watch). it's really stand alone. If you like Commandos, there's a movie and show you can watch to add minor past canon context but they aren't needed to watch the show.

Rey
2024-12-11 21:55:50 +0000 UTCYou know you’re one of the few Gen Xers here when one of the best films of the 80s, period, is coming last. I wonder how many of the folks here even know what it is, let alone seen it. That being said they’re all top tear (although still not seen The Iron Claw) and deserve a watch/reaction. Why not do them all Nat? 😛

2024-12-11 20:19:05 +0000 UTCHow about BASEketball by trey stone & Matt Smith. The ultimate movie for the ultimate sport. Or Seabiscuit
Nick Freer
2024-12-11 20:04:52 +0000 UTCI hope Iron Claw overtakes Moneyball. It's a great story and i'm not a wrestling fan. I thought it had a wonderful story and cast. if i had to rate it, i'd give it a 9 .
Beth Brown
2024-12-11 19:39:55 +0000 UTCPersonally voted for Moneyball, a favorite of mine for movie direction alone. But Iron Claw could be an easy additional reaction if you had free time at some point.
Brandon Corcoran
2024-12-11 19:22:39 +0000 UTCI was literally coming to the comments just to make sure someone mentioned Warrior. That movie is incredible and so under-appreciated.
Julian Perez
2024-12-11 19:05:44 +0000 UTCTo be fair nat did listen and put it in a more reasonable poll, it's still not winning, I'm with you I want her to react to it, executive decision I say lol
dieselbeast
2024-12-11 18:44:21 +0000 UTCI’ve been waiting for Moneyball, one of my top 5 favorite movies all time!
Christian R
2024-12-11 17:49:24 +0000 UTCJust react to The Iron Claw at this point
Alvin Everett
2024-12-11 17:24:08 +0000 UTCSince Nat loves Brad Pitt, let it be Moneyball! Plus, a young Chris Pratt is in the movie. LOL! Would love to see Ford vs Ferrari on the next sports poll.
Alan Felicia
2024-12-11 17:24:03 +0000 UTCDisagree with this take, you need to know that 'stats' are a thing that people care about in Baseball, but if you know that, you don't really actually need to know about all the different stats to pick up what the movie is putting down.

Jaden Sam
2024-12-11 16:09:43 +0000 UTCMoneyball is a little difficult to understand if you’re not a big baseball fan and The Wrestler is pretty depressing but also accurate
Michael Saville
2024-12-11 16:09:16 +0000 UTCMoneyball is the weakest of these movies.
Richard Maurer
2024-12-11 16:06:14 +0000 UTCThe Wrestler had a major impact on me, I like this one the best from this list. The Warrior and The Fighter are also worth it to be added for future polls
Edward Rahardjo
2024-12-11 15:54:49 +0000 UTCIf you were setting up a poll for wrestling-related movies, what other three would you nominate?
Chet Brusk
2024-12-11 15:52:15 +0000 UTCi know a lot of people are not into wrestling like that and the other movies about wrestling are not really good but iron claw to me is the only wrestling movie that done really well to me like just wish people at least give it a shot like if u have never watch a wrestling movie then you should watch iron claw like to me it would be the one and only wrestling moving ill recommend but its not going to win sadly maybe next time I guess
PabloGreen26
2024-12-11 15:51:44 +0000 UTCAll of these are good movies. My pick would be Iron Claw or Moneyball
Timothy Tillman
2024-12-11 15:48:33 +0000 UTCOn the surface, Moneyball does not fit with three movies about fighters. I would have made 2010's The Fighter the fourth choice... I'm curious what other three movies would folks set against Moneyball? I'd say Draft Day, Trouble With The Curve, and We Are Marshall, but that's really just stacking the deck for Moneyball :) Separate from all of these, my must-see sports-business movie is 2023's Air. Shame Raging Bull is not more popular here, but not surprising.
Chet Brusk
2024-12-11 15:47:38 +0000 UTCim not gonna lie iron claw preetty good
PabloGreen26
2024-12-11 15:43:52 +0000 UTCIf Iron Claw doesn't win this time, you should definitely consider making an executive decision to just watch it. Really good movie.
Josh Heinen
2024-12-11 15:38:28 +0000 UTCI voted for The Wrestler, it's an incredible movie, I've only watched it one time, many many years ago, but I still think about it to this day
HeyItsSuper
2024-12-11 15:29:29 +0000 UTCWell. Sorry Iron Claw. Nice knowing you. This was your best chance.

2024-12-11 15:28:12 +0000 UTCYeah I wish Warrior had made it on to this poll. Such a great movie, and too often overlooked.

2024-12-11 14:33:46 +0000 UTCIf Moneyball was on a regular poll it likely would've won, just good movie overall sports or otherwise
Alex Le
2024-12-11 14:32:09 +0000 UTCI’m a nerd who loves sport and statistics (I’m actually a professional gambler) so I appreciate the genius of Moneyball. It’s a super movie. I know Natalie hates baseball, but I hope she appreciates the brilliance of that movie.
Daniel Green
2024-12-11 14:26:05 +0000 UTCThe best sports movie: Waterboy Actually the best sports movie is A knight's Tale but luckily she's already reacted to it
Nathan Swapp
2024-12-11 14:25:18 +0000 UTCHappy Wednesday Nat. Haven't seen any of these so I'm happy to watch whatever wins. Will go with Iron Claw this time as it's seems to have a big following. Have a great day Nat 💛
Darryl Low
2024-12-11 14:21:30 +0000 UTCThe Iron Claw HAS to win this one, c'mon people, she clearly wants to watch it, so much so that she created a poll of just sports movies just so it can win. AND IT STILL NOT WINNING!!!!!!!
Julio Carranza
2024-12-11 14:20:31 +0000 UTCThe Wrestler is a must watch.

mrhalfbit
2024-12-11 14:04:04 +0000 UTCVoted Moneyball but haven't seen the others so. Also, please put Warrior (2011) in a poll, or just watch it on your own time. It's a great sports movie too
