Mystery Alaska is the best hockey movie

RE: Is SLAP SHOT the best hockey movie ever?
Many people like "Miracle on Ice" but it is just too melodramatic and I find myself laughing at the parts that are supposed to be "uplifting" and groaning at the "dramatic" sequences. It is meant to be a triumphant guy film in the style of most war films but like most war films it is pure melodrama and I just can't swallow that kind of stuff. Too cheesy and sappy for my tastes.
I must respectfully disagree with your assesment of "Miracle." How can you not appreciate this exchange:
INT. LOCKER ROOM - NIGHT
Brooks walks in the locker room and begins stalking around. He turns to Craig Ramsey.
Brooks: Who're we playing, Rammer?
Ramsey: Sweden.
Brooks overturns the drinks table.
Brooks: You're god damned right we are. We're playing Sweden. In the Olympics. And we're playing like it's some throw away game up in Rochester.
Eruzione: We're trying, Herb.
Brooks: Worry about your own game, Rizzo. There's plenty there to keep you busy.
Brooks turns to Rob McClanahan, icing his leg.
Brooks: What's wrong with you? Put your gear on.
McClanahan: What?
Brooks: I said put your gear on.
McClanahan: Doc said I can't play.
Brooks: Yeah, I know, he said you had a bad bruise. You know what? Put your street clothes on. I don't have time for quitters. A bruise on the leg is a helluva long way from the heart. Candy ass.
McClanahan stands up and throws down the ice bag.
McClanahan: What'd you call me?
Brooks: You heard me.
McClanahan: What do you want me to do, huh? You want me to play on one leg? I'll play on one leg!
Brooks: I want you to be a hockey player!
McClanahan: I am a hockey player!
He lunges at Brooks and his teammates have to hold him back. Brooks exits the locker room as McClanahan's screams can be heard echoing down the hallway. Brooks passes Craig Patrick and eyes him.
Brooks: That'll get 'em going.
Patrick: Yeah, I'll clean up.
That is one of my favorite scenes in any movie, not just hockey movies. Any movie!
"How would you know? When I played you were in your 3rd year of
8th grade." - Ducks color analyst Brian Hayward to Sean Avery.

You can't beat Slapshot, but my best hockey movies are Net Worth(Ted Lindsay's battle to launch the fledgling NHLPA) & 1971's Face-off, a Love story involving a Canadian Professional Hockey Player(Billy Duke) and a hippy folk singer(Sherry Nelson). Their union is tumultuous, as both try to come to terms with their differences in careers and lifestyles. They realize too late that they both love each other. Shot in/around Toronto, Ontario CANADA and includes good use of vintage NHL footage

Slap shot is all about the text/dialog.The movie itself is "funny", but the character's quotes are hilarious.But if you compare it to Rocket or Miracle, then Slapshot is a bad movie.

Slapshot is a great movie for laughs. It's a definite classic but Miracle is the better hockey movie. I guess for kids or getting kids interested in hockey, the Mighty Ducks movies do a good job of that.

Definitely the best movie of the hockey is SLAP SHOT. I have seen this and I like that also. At the same time Miracle is also great movie for hockey game. Because it have also great story related to the hockey.

Any one have doubts.Slap shot movie are so Funny, frank, and violent, George Roy Hill's absorbing film about minor league hockey offers a wonderful comic performance from Newman.

The rocket QUEBEC About ICON MAURICE RICHARD. Sorry for the caps, but otherwise be. The Boys another film from Quebec on the commitment of a team in the league of beer for the game every Monday night sorry again but it is too easy to say Slap Shot and Mighty Ducks. The mystery was good but was a bit exaggerated. Youngblood was eye candy for women and Rob Lowe gay men, heterosexual men like me. Cynthia Gibb oh so far as it goes Milagro was well done, and having traveled extensively outside of Canada and the U.S. I liked that it was moderately pro-American. We do not exaggerate if you know what I mean and my 2 cents.
