slap shot 1 and rudy

Going off the top of my head:

Hockey: Miracle
Baseball: Eight Men Out (but on any given day, there are about four or five I'd vote for)
Basketball: Blue Chips
Football: Any Given Sunday, The Program
Golf: Caddyshack, The Legend Of Bagger Vance
Surfing: Ride The Wild Surf
Volleyball: Side Out
Cycling: American Flyers
Dodgeball: Dodgeball (of course!)

Does chess count? Can I add Searching For Bobby Fischer here?

Field of Dreams.

One newer one that I thought was good is "We Are Marshall"... it's sappy at times, but just the thought that you'd have to rebuild an entire football program in a year in unbelievable to me.

Or MYSTERY, ALASKA

And yes to Bagger Vance, Miracle, and Friday Night Lights

Kingpin (if Caddyshack is on here, then bowling is a sport too!)

I always thought that was a little overrated. It's a good made-for-tv movie, but I never really understood all the hoopla. You want to see a great made-for-tv movie, go to Google Video and search for "Threads". Its not a sports movie, but it's a doozie.

I rented a quasi-sports movie the other day... "Black Irish" (surprise, surprise). It's about a couple of Irish brothers from Boston - one goes around robbing people, and the other plays baseball. Don't bother. Wasn't that great.

Thats why I liked it, I was 9 years old in 1971, no hoopla.
I still remember it well.

"Doozie" is an understatement. This came out (1984) when there was a real fear of nuclear confrontation with the Soviets. "The Day After" was the American-made movie which had shown the previous autumn and was fairly sanitized. When the Brits came out with Threads, it scared the crap out of more than a few of us. Very graphic. Very disturbing. I still have it on VHS.
