Be sure to fill out all the information so we can contact you if we want to put your response in a future issue of Sports Illustrated for Women. Also, check out the responses we got to our previous question: What's your favorite sports movie?

Love & Basketball
Amanda Ammons, Titusville, Fla.
The film illuminated the game's physical and athletic aspects, and the personal sacrifices you make to succeed.

A League Of Their Own
Tess Sokolis, Pasadena, Md.
This movie showed that women's sports are just as important as men's, and will be around for a long time to come.

The Bad News Bears
Samantha Tansky, Encino, Calif.
It's an inspirational movie with a great sense of humor. Tatum O'Neal proved that a girl could hold her own among the guys.

Raging Bull
Kimberly Thermond, San Diego
This flick was so gritty and raw. I even tried boxing after seeing this film!
