Breaking Away
The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh (campy, but classic....even NBA players dig it)
The Natural
Slap Shot
Caddyshack
The Hustler
North Shore
Searching for Bobby Fischer

One that does NOT make my list is Chariots of Fire. With the exception of the courtyard race scene, too boring. Sorry, Vangelis!

Also, never saw $1,000,000 Baby, but heard it was very good.
Million dollar baby and Cinderella man were both decent.

Another one that I guess would be considered a sports movie now is Rounders. I love that movie.
