The best sports film, it usually centers on a true story as well, which is always a good start. But here are my top 26 sports films of all time. I could not get it down to 25 so If your favourite sports film isnt there, put it up, but I think I have got them all.
In order from best to not the best but still a great watch:
1) Chariots of fire - true story, great actors, great film
2) Remember the titans - again based on a true story, great acting, and a great story
3) The babe - the story of the legend Babe Ruth, getting on a bit now, but still classic
4) Big Wednesday - a cult surfing movie, starring Gary busey, for its day and still is magic
5) Somebody up there likes me - a feel good story, makes you laugh and smile
6) Price of glory shows how things can change and go one way or the other. Good story.
7) The pistol the boy with big dreams, a brilliant film about basketball.
