Last Friday, with the release of the movie "The Express," we went over the top grossing sports movies of all time.
“The Waterboy” came in first. And even though it's a football movie, we thought of it as more of a comedy than a sports film.
So this morning, we went back through the list again -- and this time narrowed it down to the top five grossing true sports movies of all time.
In at number five, “Remember The Titans”. Based on a true story, Denzel Washington stars as an African American coach leading a high school football team in the first year they were racially integrated. It's made $115 million.
Up next, maybe the best sports movie ever -- Rocky. The 1976 classic has grossed $117 million.
Seabiscuit comes in third. Another true story; the best picture-nominated movie about the legendary race horse has made $120 million.
Then if you saw the list Friday, you'll know the top two. Another Rocky -- Rocky III -- comes in second. It's grossed $123 million.
And at number one, Rocky IV, making $128 million since its release in 1985.
Of course, keep in mind that those numbers don't factor in inflation; ticket prices 20 years ago were much less than they are today.
So where do these movies rank on the list of all movies? “Remember The Titans” is number 305 all time, while Rocky IV is the 244th top grossing film ever.
