Best Sports Movies...?

fragtasticator's Avatar
I was tooling around 1/2 price Books this weekend, looking for gift ideas, when I stumbled across a copy of Necessary Roughness going dirt cheap.

I rummaged through the shelves and dug up a few favorites, and it got me thinking; what are some of the best sports-related movies of all time? Which ones do I need to add to my collection?

Movies I own:
Any Given Sunday
Necessary Roughness
The Longest Yard (Burt Reynolds)
Rudy
The Quest (Jean Claude Van Damme)
The Program
Moneyball
Karate Kid
Invincible (Wahlberg)
Varsity Blues
Happy Gilmore

Movies I need to add:
Waterboy
Ali
Rocky
Blue Chips
The Air up There
North Dallas 40
Johnny Be Good
Major League
Remember The Titans
Cool Runnings
Teen Wolf


Anyone remember some of these golden oldies? Got some you think I need to add?

What are your favorites, and why?
