Rocky
Searching for Bobby Fisher Caddyshack Hoosiers The Hustler Raging Bull is great, but for some reason I don't have the urge to watch it again.

If a movie about chess counts, then I submit Best in Show, which should also count.
I also really liked Cinderella Man. It made me cry, not the boxing part, but when Renee Zellweger couldn't help her sick, hungry and cold children. And Rocky, Remember the Titans and Miracle And I HATED Jerry Maguire. Sorry Babs.

I liked Remember the Titans, until I learned about the real Titans team and realized that all of the drama in the movie was fabricated. That movie is really light years away from being accurate....and most of the original appeal was that it was billed as a true story....or at least fairly close to a true story.

A "sports movie" about motorcycle racing that I really enjoyed was The World's Fastest Indian
Lots of great shots of Salt Lake City and Wendover. I particularly loved Anthony Hopkins eating in the Dees Restaurant. Gets an 8.0 out of 10 on IMDB. Certainly worth renting or adding to your NetFlix queue. |

I would agree that this one should count as one of the great sports movies of all time. |

The scene on the Salt Flats when he opens up his Indian is great.
