Sports movies' soundtracks

[itsroyalagain]

What's the best soundtrack or main song in a sports movie? For me, nothing can beat Eye of the Tiger... you all know what movie I'm talking about...

 

[ES3]

Yeeeees sir all the soundtracks of the Rocky movies are epic!

 

[Enikk]

Karate kid count as sports movie? "Your the best...around" .. That has to be up there. Rocky the best for sure any of the songs. Rocky 4 has a good one too and can't leave out the instrumental main theme song.

Kinda remember Vision Quest having something. 1980s very good high school wrestling movie

Caddy shack and the Gopher. The Gopher's song has to be on the list

Gonna Fly Now

Adrenaline rush every time I hear it. Especially in a tight game at any Philly event live fans go fvcking nuts.

I'm going to be waaaaay out in left field with this one but the song that comes to mind is "Fugue for Tinhorns" from the movie "Let It Ride". I really liked that movie since its about a bunch of gamblers that lose and then one day, one of them has a fantastic day at the horse track.

The song was in the movie a few times. It was also the song from "Guys and Dolls" (a semi non-sports movie).

You'll recognize the song after the first line.
I'm not even a horse track guy but I liked this movie.

Music can be so inspirational. One of my favorites was an under-rated heavy metal band from late 80s/early 90s Queensryche. I use to play this one for my Little Leaguers to pump them up before a game. "The best man that I can"

The Empire album is a good work-out video for Le. Operation- Mindcrime is up there for one of best heavy metal albums ever.

Sorry to go off topic but I think Le and Genie are Tuesday's Jet-city woman. Such an amazing song. We all have our "Jet City Woman." Please give it a listen and follow with lyrics. That opening riff will hit you.

Every time I leave
You say you won't be there
And you're always there
Every time I cry your name at night
You pull close and say it's alright
I look in your eyes, just like the rain
Washing me, rain wash over me
Touching your face, I feel the heat of your heartbeat
Echo in my head like a scream
What you do to me
Waited so long I can't wait another day without you
Jet city woman
It's a long way, home to my-
Jet city woman
I see her face everywhere
Can't get her out of my mind
Whenever I'm alone, I'm thinking
There's a part missing from my life
Wonder where I'd be without your love
Holding me together now I'm-
Watching the time tick, tick away
Face grows longer every day
Fortunes are lost on the women I've seen
But without you, I can't breathe
You're the air to me
Waited so long, I'm all alone thinking about you
Jet city woman
Got to find my way home to her
Jet city woman
I see her face everywhere I look
Jet city woman
Just a thousand miles and I'll be there
Jet city woman
To make the clouds go away
Time for some blue sky
Waited so long now the plane's delayed
And hour, reminds me of all our days apart
Hold on just a little longer
Jet city woman
Wonder where I'd be, you're the air to me
Jet city woman
Eyes like the rain, rain down on me
Jet city woman
No more nights alone, I'm almost home now
Jet city woman
Close my eyes, I'm there in my
Jet city
(Jet city)
