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?

    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.

    Wind and Master and Commander for sailing. And maybe some Pirates of the Caribbean too :)

    I haven’t watched Maiden yet, definitely this winter sometime.

    I don’t watch many sports now but watched these movies a ton as a kid:

    the rookie - baseball

    the air up there - basketball

    caddyshack - golf

    kingpin - bowling (the big Lebowski is my favorite movie of all time, but I don’t really consider it a “bowling” movie)

    the wizard - competitive gaming

    cool runnings - bobsledding

    the big green - soccer

    Teenwolf.

    Caddyshack. Happy Gilmore a close second.

    Bend it Like Beckham, or Victory.

    Edit: Bad News Bears or Major League.

    The only sport I actually watch is Drifting. I have never seen a good drifting movie.

    I do enjoy The Big Lebowski for bowling, and Cool Runnings for bobsled
