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? Image

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.

How about some Hoosiers in there?

And for cycling let's go with a young daniel stern and dennis quaid in Breaking Away ...

And how about some Youngblood

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.
