    • I never saw #2 or #5, so I would take out those and Bad News Bears and The Natural as they are totally fictional and I don't care much for baseball.

    I will replace those with these:

    Chariots of Fire
    Secretariat
    A League of Their Own
    Miracle

    • All good, but here are mine:
    1) Hoosiers
    2) Rudy
    3) Space Jam
    4) Invictus
    5) The Natural
    6) Glory Road
    7) Miracle
    8) Karate Kid
    9) Rocky
    10) Bull Durham

    Friday Night Lights, Victory, & Vision Quest get Honorable Mention.
    Worst - Air Bud & that Capoaira movie. I have a lot more here, but those crappers are good ones to start with.

    • Update your lists as others post movies you didn't think about.  Also, rank them in order of importance.

    • Does The Hustler count?

    Pride of the Yankees

    I wanted to see Ali but missed it for some reason, is that worth seeing?

    Horsefeathers is kinda about football in a Marx Bros kind of way

    • If you're short on memory or going senile like Mojo, here's a little help from Rotten Tomatoes:  150 best sports movies.  Jog your memory and make your list.
