Welcome to our Reel
Fives pre-launch movie
rankings for best sport comedies of all-time.
The rankings for sports comedies are based on our pre-launch rankings of best
sports movies of all time which captures sports movies more broadly. The
movie rankings on top sport comedies are based on the 130 movie ranking sources
we found for sports movies. In the list of sports movies there were 105 movies
and of those, 23 movies were sport comedies- these 23 sport comedies are ranked
below. As with the broader sports genre,
these sport comedies rankings are based on rankings created by movie experts as
well as rankings from polling sites that were found online.
Sport comedies mix the trial
and error of sports with comedic relief. Carl Spackler (Bill Murray) must get
rid of the gopher destroying the golf course in Caddyshack (1980) so that the golf course can continue to serve rich
people. Caddyshack (1980) is the
all-time best sport comedy. However, the movie does not revolve around golf.
Instead, the movie takes place at a golf course and revolves around the people
who work and go there. Happy Gilmore
(1996), ranked eleventh, is about an amateur golfer trying to save his
grandma’s house. Happy Gilmore (Adam Sandler) yells at golf balls, fights with
Bob Barker, and does not follow any of the conventions of golf. Sport comedies
are largely about amateur sport players. White
Men Can’t Jump (1992), tied for eighteenth, is about an amateur white
basketball player who teams up with an amateur black basketball player to
hustle other players for money. They do not seek to play in the NBA, only to
make money on the street. Cool Runnings (1993),
tied for ninth, showcases a bobsled team from Jamaica. After a star sprinter
gets disqualified from running, he decides to create a bobsledding team and so
begins the hilarious journey of the Jamaican bobsledding team. The Sandlot (1993), ranked second, is
the tale of kids in a neighborhood baseball team who just want to win the game.
The Bad News Bears (1976), ranked
sixth, is about a coach who uses a youth baseball team to prove that he can
win, even with a team with little natural talent.
