Featured Friday: Sports Comedies

Weekend Read, our app for reading scripts on your phone, features a new curated collection of screenplays each week.

This week, we look at the beloved genre of sports comedies to see how much conflict and character are brought out by competitions, why it’s so fun to root for underdogs, and ultimately find the things in life that are more important than winning (I doubt there are many).

Our collection includes:

• A League of Their Own by Lowell Ganz & Babaloo Mandel
• Bull Durham by Ron Shelton
• Caddyshack by Brian Doyle-Murray & Harold Ramis & Douglas Kenney
• Cool Runnings by Lynn Siefert and Tommy Swerdlow & Michael Goldberg
• Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story by Rawson Marshall Thurber
• GLOW - “Pilot” by Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch
• I, Tonya by Steven Rogers
• Talladega Nights by Will Ferrell & Adam McKay
• The Bad News Bears by Bill Lancaster
• The Sandlot by David Mickey Evans & Robert Gunter
• Tin Cup by John Norville and Ron Shelton
