"Caddyshack" is the Most Quoted Sports Film Ever- Get a Pen

Let's continue our "not to be missed" films series. Here are the sports films you MUST see to be a So Very Clever Guy's Girl. Now, this will be excruciating for some of you- I get that. But honestly, most of them have SOME human interest, and if not, maybe some tight pants or cute boys at the very least- something for everyone.

I am telling you- few things in life will bring a man to tears faster than a good sports film- so make sure you divert your eyes. Pulling out a Kleenex or placing a delicate hand on his forearm are NO NOs. Get it? Good. Geez. There is a time and place to acknowledge male tears and during a movie is NOT one of them. Funeral- maybe. Wedding- no, he's crying because you made him come- leave it alone. During a breakup? Giving into the tears means you are about to get sucked right back in, so bow out gracefully and move it.

As a refresher- the asterisks indicate films you canNOT ignore- they are part of the male fabric. The others are elective- but in this realm- I don't advise missing any.

** "Caddyshack" (this is without question the most quoted sports film- so get a pen)

** "Happy Gilmore" (this is MY most quoted sports film. "Is this goal regulation size or what?")

** "Friday Night Lights" (Billy Bob Thornton and Tim McGraw)

** "Rudy" (Sean Astin before "24")

** "The Longest Yard" (original or remake - special appearance by Dan Patrick in the new)

"Slap Shot" (still funny)

** "Invincible" (Marky Mark- remember him in his underwear)

** "61*" (Barry Pepper)

"Brian’s Song" (James Caan. Everyone cries)

"Jerry Maguire" ("You had me at hello." We’ve all heard it too many times.)

"Remember the Titans" (Denzel, Ryan Gosling, racial tension and football)

** "Bull Durham" (Costner, Sarandon and Robbins. Love and baseball.)

** "Mystery, Alaska" (Russell Crowe and hockey)

"Hoosiers" (Gene Hackman and Dennis Hopper do small town basketball)

"White Men Can’t Jump" (Woody Harrelson and Wesley Snipes are hustlers on the court)

"Blind Side" (great compromised- major human interest and lots of fluff)

** "Rocky" (one through one hundred are required viewing)

** "Raging Bull" (this is Joe Pesci's first film role and De Niro gained almost a half of a hundred)

** "The Natural" (Kim Basinger- my all-time girl crush)

OK, Clever Girls- it's Wednesday, which gives you exactly two days to procure four of these films. I wish I could be there when you send him an e-mail or text saying- I rented or downloaded or however you DO it- "'The Natural,' '61*', 'Friday Night Lights' and 'Caddyshack'- you bring the beer." Suggest you hole up on Friday night and Saturday to watch movies, drink the drink of choice and order in.

You are going to have So Very Much Fun this weekend. Think of it as time to sharpen the saw- relax your mind- disconnect with the outside world and connect with him on the inside.
