Rocky? Rocky 2-4? Slap Shot (1977) is fantastic.
For basketball I’d say Hoosiers (1986) is good. For American Football? Jerry Maguire (1996).
What are the best soccer, cricket, or racing movies?
Moneyball
Warrior for MMA. It’s a bit of a guilty pleasure because it hits all of my traditional masculine buttons. Redemption, making dad proud, making wife proud, showing your brother you actually love him, fist fights, etc.
