10) League of Their Own

9) Friday Night Lights

8) Raging Bull

7) Rocky

6) Major League

5) Hoosiers

4) Bull Durham

3) Remember the Titans

2) Rudy

1) Field of Dreams

Here is the breakdown by sport: baseball-4; football-3;boxing-2;basketball-1

I started out with a list of about 20 movies, but i wanted to narrow it down to 10. Putting them in order was even harder then cutting down the list. Field of Dreams and Rudy were an easy decision for me because they are my two favorite movies of any genre. Remember the Titans was full of inspirational moments and is a must-see for everyone; sports fan or not. Bull Durham is a great movie for anyone who has every played baseball and had dreams of making it to "the show." Hoosiers is a true story about a small town high school basketball team. It's an amazing underdog story. Major League is a movie you probably wouldn't find on many top 10 lists, but you can find it on mine. Rocky and Raging Bull are two classic boxing movies that should be on everyone's list. Friday Night Lights is a great portrayal of high school football in the state of Texas. League of Their Own, every womens favorite sports movie, is about the formation of an all-female baseball league during WWII. Some notable movies left out my list were The Natural, White Men Can't Jump, The Bad News Bears, and Ali. There are many sports movies that are made, but many of them are just not good. Making a great sports movie is harder than many people think.
