Rocky.
I think. Great sports story that isn't about winning, it's about growing through the struggle, and being the best you can be--not necessarily the best.
Lots of great sports movies. I loved Miracle, but you know the ending before you sit down to watch it. Hoosiers wasn't on the list above. Great movie. RIP, Gene.
Slap Shot is the beer leaguer's defining hockey movie. I enjoyed Bend It Like Beckham, but it's not very polished, and--like many of these--is a little dated.
Bull Durham is probably my favorite baseball movie--and deserves a nod in the overall category.
I, Tonya, anyone? I thought it was really well done. But it's a mocumentary of sorts, not an original story.
Hoop Dreams gets a nod--but I haven't seen it since (1994?). Not sure if it holds up. And similar to I, Tonya, it's not an original story--although both get the viewer to see a different perspective.
Tip of the cap to Talladega Nights.
