Just been watching a few of my favourites over the last few days.
Goon
Gridiron Gang
Miracle
Invincible

What are some of yours?

Apart from the obvious ones (Rocky, Raging Bull, Cool Running etc.)I thoroughly enjoyed Senna and Hoop Dreams despite having never watched a grand prix or basketball. After watching both the thrilling documentaries I gave the sports another go but found them utterly tedious.

Raging Bull
Miracle (particularly good for me as I watched the men's ice hockey from Lake Placid at the time)
Eddie the Eagle (it really is good)
Senna
Moneyball
This Sporting Life (Richard Harris is brilliant & he could actually play Rugby)

Best soundtrack - Chariots of Fire

 

[Guy Fawkes]

Rush
Southpaw

 

[Super Steve Earle]

Field of Dreams

I really enjoyed MoneyBall and Invincible. Both true stories, how much Hollywood was added I don't know.

More docufilm or whatever u want to call it but I loved I Am Bolt

 

[Tarpon]

I have an irrational soft spot for Costner's 'Tin Cup'. Don't hate me.

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Field of Dreams

Field of Dreams is one of my all time favourites.

I'll throw in Mike Bassett. One of THE most underrated British comedies.

Expect you are all too young to remember Chariots of Fire.

 

[Frutos]

Senna and When We Were Kings - documentaries rather than films, but both absolutely superb.

As far as actual films, Cool Runnings and Rocky III.

 

[studio150]

Hoosiers
Bill Durham
Chariots of Fire
Moneyball
McFarland

 

[StonehamPark]

Moneyball
Might Ducks
Space Jam
- Great shouts.

Field of Dreams and Any Given Sunday at the top of my list.

 

[ManOfSussex]

Chariots of Fire
Mike Bassett

but nothing beats the finale for the greatest football team ever in 'Escape to Victory'
