oach Carter was a good movie, but Bull Durham is an all-time classic. If this was a seeded bracket, this match-up would have to be a 1 vs 16 or 2 vs 15.  This also has nothing to do with the Kevin Costner tattoo I have on my left butt cheek. Wink

I have actually not seen Coach Carter, but I'm not in love with Bull Durham like everyone else.  I found the relationship between Costner and Sarandon (and the other dude) to be disturbing for some reason.

I haven't seen either of these.  I may try to see one or the other before voting.

Any school sports movie will get my vote over a non school one, and Coach Carter is one of my top ten sports movies of all time.
