Best Sports Movies of All Time

These are the movies that made us want to suit up a play as soon as we came out of the theater. Some make you laugh and some make you cry, but they all make you wish that you could be Rudy Ruettiger, Crash Davis or Roy Hobbs ... at least for a little while.

Stallone's performance is mesmerizing. The underdog plot has turned this movie into a classic and the best sports film of all time!

Robert De Niro is so good I this movie! and it is definitely better than Rocky

this film is the best... can't believe its no. 7

This is substantially better than every other movie on this list. One of the greatest films of all time regardless of genre. "A League of Their Own"? "Happy Gilmore"? Are you kidding me?

Happy Gilmore

Slap Shot

The Hanson brothers are so out there.

Field of Dreams
8Field of Dreams

Wow! Number 10? Happy gilmore is supposed to be a better movie than this? Shame! Rocky and titans should be right below this one.

Definatly the greatest sports movie ever, even if it isn't as great as some of the other movies listed.

Cinderella Man
9Cinderella Man

One of the greatest sports movies with breathtaking performances

Russell Crowe should've won the Academy Award for Best Actor for this movie, and it should've won Best Picture. By the ending scene I'm bawling!

Russell Crowe gives a brillant performance as James Braddock. The boxing scenes awesome as if you were watching a real fight.

Best distance-runner in the history of man-kind. If he hadn't had been in that car crash he would've won the gold.

24Cool Runnings
25Million Dollar Baby
26The Express

Michael is ok at being an actor I'm not crazy about his acting. But I will admit Looney Toons and W. B. did make a classic kids and adults will love forever.

59Seabiscuit

Tobey Maguire was good as Red Pollard, but Seabiscuit steals the spotlight. What an amazing horse. He wasn't the biggest, he wasn't the strongest, and he sure wasn't the prettiest, but yet he still won. He overcame so many obstacles to become the hero of the American people when they needed one the most. He had the heart of a champion, if ever anyone did.
