Haven’t seen Rudo y Cursi yet but it’s meant to be good. The Damned United wasn’t half-bad either.
Anyone ever see the official World Cup films? I remember Eurosport showed them all before the 1990 World Cup. They’re more than just documentaries, as far as I can recall, they have a narrative to them that isn’t just related to the results and are shot in an art-y manner. I’d love to see one again.
The Vikash Dhorasoo thing is suppose to be good too. Him with a camera at the 2006 World Cup.
A good few top films missing. Altho a lot of the ones I’d have here are American Football.
Friday Night Lights
We Are Marshall
Rudy
The Express
When We Were Kings
Hoosiers
and to compliment some of the others mentioned on the thread,
Mighty Ducks
Cool Runnings
Slap Shot
Baseketball
Dodgeball
Rocky V
Karate Kid III
The Scout

I would concur here. Not only the best sporting film but one of the best films in any genre.
Simply amazing in all respects. Acting, directing, shooting, script - brilliant.

Shadwell Army

Class film. True story aswell isn’t it?
The Hustler is a brilliant movie, easily in the top ten sports movies ever made.
Without Limits, the Steve Prefontaine Story.
there was 2 prefontaine films? one with jared leto? dunno who was in the other.
Leto was in Prefontaine, the Steve Prefontaine story.
Billy Crudup and Donald Sutherland were in Without Limits, produced by Tom Cruise. Seen em both, found Without Limits to be the more enjoyable if possibly a lil less accurate (neither film is entirely accurate mind you).
American Flyers (1985)…Kevin Costner as a cyclist in the American version of tour de france…any cornier and it would pop but was good to watch when one was young…
Thrilla in Manilla was superb as well - if you count that as a film. More of a documentary.
Mike Bassett - England Manager.
Dr. Hans Shoegaarten: [Picking the best players used for a simulation training program] Pele, Maradona and Mark Lawrenson.
Mike: Mark Lawrenson?
Dr. Hans Shoegaarten: We ran out of money.
Funny film to be fair.
