Rocky? Rocky 2-4? Slap Shot (1977) is fantastic.
For basketball I’d say Hoosiers (1986) is good. For American Football? Jerry Maguire (1996).
What are the best soccer, cricket, or racing movies?
Moneyball
“Who own de Chiefs?”
OWNS. OWNS.
Miracle - hockey Senna - F1 Faster (series) - MotoGP
Warrior for MMA. It’s a bit of a guilty pleasure because it hits all of my traditional masculine buttons. Redemption, making dad proud, making wife proud, showing your brother you actually love him, fist fights, etc.
Hijacking this thread to ask if there’s any good rugby movies besides Invictus
The replacements
Space Jam.
Live action: Major League 2 had a streak of getting played on TV, so it’s probably the one I’ve seen bits of the most, followed by Rudy for the same reason.
Animated: Cars.
