"Jerry Maguire"
Jerry Maguire is the kind of movie where after watching it, everyone will support and understand this ordinary man, and when it's so easy to give up, he tries to do the right thing. Thanks to the superb performances of Tom Cruise, Cooper Gooding Jr. and René Zilweg, the film became the ultimate romantic sports film loved by everyone. Don't forget its classic lines like "Show me the money!" Give me money", "You had me at hello the moment you greeted me touched my heart", "You complete me is complete with you", and "Help me help you help me is to help yourself". Like we said, it's an iconic, incredibly good movie.

This movie is a masterpiece of genius. Even if you hate golf, you'll love the wit and humor in this movie. Just mention rodney Dangerfield's overwhelming quip, Bill Murray as a brilliant venue keeper, and the jaw-dropping hilarity is enough to excite anyone the whole time. "Little Caddyshack" has a huge following and has been named one of the funniest sports movies of all time by Time and ESPN. Well worth a look.

'The Bad News Bears'
"New Little Sticks" is a film legend, and despite the lot of swear words said by its young actors, writer Bill Lancaster and director Michael Ritchie captured how adults put pressure on teenagers to win sporting events when they were thinking about more than just sports. That's why watching Walter Matthew "pick yourself up" and get through it, we watch the bonds between kids develop because they never thought they would care so much about winning or losing.
The Bad News Bears
'Chariots of Fire'
Let's start with the film, which has received seven Oscar nominations and four, including Best Picture and Best Screenplay. The film is also notorious for its memorable instrumental theme song, which was composed by Van Jellis, who won the Academy Award for Best Original Score. Chariots of Fire tells a true story of two athletes at the 1924 Olympics: Eric Liddell, a devout Scottish Christian who ran for the glory of God, and Harold Abrahams, an English Jew who ran to overcome prejudice. In addition to the triumphs and tragedies in the competition, the film focuses on both the male characters and the characters of the era.

"DreamIng of the Pure Heart" (Rudy) 'Rudy'
Rudy! In two ESPN polls, it was named one of the 25 best sports films of the past 25 years and named the 54th most inspiring film in the "AFI Centennial". The iconic film shows a hard-working, broad-minded hero who overcame obstacles such as difficulty in reading, diminution and the prejudices of coach Dan Devine to make an appearance in the final home game of the 1975 season and show his abilities. The film gives the Notre Dame football team a well-deserved hero, and there's nothing more exhilarating than watching Rudy's dream come true.

'White Men Can't Jump'
Woody Harrison and Wesley Snipps are the ultimate duo of energetic in this sports comedy film. The film tells the story of Harrison and Snaps as venetian beach street ball players with no way out, who reluctantly join forces and win local competitions. It shows how childish and helpless men are, clinging to childishness and thinking they are responsible, but ultimately having to face the consequences of adult life. In addition, this movie is also very funny and worth watching.
White Men Can’t Jump
"Challenge Sunday" 'Any Given Sunday'
When Oliver Stone started playing football, everyone doubted whether he could succeed, but everyone was wrong. His talent and attention to detail show how he led a star-studded squad out of tough crossroads. We saw lonely, burnt-out head coach Al Pacino; injured, aging minuteback Dennis Quaid; young, hot quarterback Jamie Foxx; and ruthless team owner Cameron Diaz. All of this makes the strong Pacino's "Life is a Millimeter Battle" speech one of the greatest sports movie speeches of all time.
Any Given Sunday
'Bend It Like Beckham'
The film surprised many critics because it tells the story of a woman struggling between Indian family traditions who just wants to play football for the national team like her idol, David Beckham. Jesmind ("Jesse") Bamlah can be seen overcoming many obstacles, making friends with a player from the local team (played by Kira Knightley) and, of course, Jesse's lovely coach who helped her achieve her dreams. Parminder Nagra's outstanding performance shows that sport helps boost self-esteem and helps women gain self-identity, which is a production with all the elements of a great movie.
Bend It Like Beckham
'Lights of Victory' 'Friday Night Lights'
"Victory Light" 'Friday Night Lights' is a classic work, the film is based on H. Adaptation of G. Bisinger's book Friday Night: A Town, a Team, and a Dream (1990). It showcases the story of the 1988 Permian High School Panthers rushing to the state championship, and it also shows the support and obsession of coaches and players in Odessa, Texas. The film alone won the ESPY Award for Best Sports Movie and also ranked 37th on Entertainment Weekly's Best High School Movie list. So it's worth a look.

“红粉联盟”‘A League Of Their Own’
In 2012, the Library of Congress preserved the "A League of Their Own" in the National Film Registry as a film of "cultural, historical, or aesthetic significance." Yeah, that's the beauty of this movie. The film shows the evolution and triumph of the Real-Life National Women's Professional Baseball League (AAGPBL). It's a heartwarming story about how teamwork and the march to victory are at the heart of America's favorite pastimes, and it shows the efforts of women in their 40s to prove themselves as competent athletes.
A League Of Their Own
"Wrestler" 'The Wrestler'
Professional wrestlers are a group of athletes who have gone through hell and can bounce back. "Wrestler" 'The Wrestler' shows Randy Ram, played by Mickey Rourke, an aging professional wrestler whose health is deteriorating and his fame is waning, but he is still struggling desperately to preserve his former success. The film also documents his personal relationships with friends and family. The film shows how haunting and destructive a person can be when they indulge in their own lives and careers, and the professions they pursue are often self-destructive.
The Wrestler
'Remember the Titans'
What's hard to describe is that the film is extraordinary in every way. Written by Gregory Allen Howard, the film tells the true story of Herman Boone, an African-American coach played by Denzel Washington, and tells the story of his attempt to work in Alexandria, Virginia, in 1971. T.C. Williams High School tells the story of an ethnically diverse team. During that time, it was a difficult thing to do. It also shows how talented actor Will Patton, playing Bill Yoast, as an assistant coach, helps Boone transition and get out of trouble. It shows the entire football team and how they came together to overcome obstacles, while focusing on the case of athletes Gerry Bertier and Julius Campbell, played by Ryan Hurst and Wood Harris, and their feats of uniting whites and blacks on and off the field.
Remember the Titans
"Hot Godhead Meadow Soldier" 'Hoosiers'
Hoosiers is a movie that gets you on the ground for the little guys, and it shows how sticking to the basics and bringing together a group of insignificant high school students in Indiana in the 1950s to play the best basketball of their lives. The movie feels good overall. In 2001, Hoosiers was selected by the Library of Congress as a preservation film by the National Film Registry of "cultural, historical, or aesthetic significance," proving what a good film it is.
Hoosiers
'Field of Dreams'
'Field of Dreams' is the ultimate feel-good film directed by Phil Alden Robinson, who is also the screenwriter of the screenplay and is based on the novel by W. Bush. P. Kinsella's novel "Joe Barefoot". The incredible Kevin Costner voiced the film, "This generation's It's a Wonderful Life." He said it perfectly.
Field of Dreams
"Rocky" 'Rocky'
While there's a long list of Rocky films to choose from, the first one is always the best, after all, it did win the Academy Award for Best Picture. Watch Sylvester Stallone play the poor loser, working-class, but the affectionate "Italian stallion" gets an unusual chance to compete against the world heavyweight champion, who will cheer you up at any moment. Looking at a scrappy nameless man, but not afraid of difficulties and obstacles, never give up against the Apollo creed dressed in red, white and blue, there is a warm feeling.
Rocky
"Hoop Dreams"
The 1994 documentary, which tells the story of two African-American high school students in Chicago who dream of becoming professional basketball players, is deeply rooted in the hearts of all Americans. Initially, director Steve James and screenwriters James and Frederick Max began filming a 30-minute short film about basketball players on the playground and turning it into a three-hour journey about two children entering the NBA. "Basketball Dream" made everyone fall in love with its on-court action and suspense, but it also made everyone see the lingering problems of racial inequality and poverty.

'Miracle'
The work of director Gavin O'Connor and screenwriters Eric Guggenheim and Mike Ritchie is absolutely incredible. The film won the ESPY Award for Best Sports Film in 2004 and was very rewarding. If you don't already know this story, you're missing out on the greatest sports saga of all time! Miracle followed the real-life U.S. men's hockey team, led by Herb Brooks, played by Kurt Russell, who won a gold medal at the 1980 Winter Olympics. As you watch the clock tick to the last few seconds, the last scene gives you goosebumps as commentator Al Michaels shouts his now famous quote: "Do you believe in miracles?!" "Yes!" “Do you believe in miracles?! Yes!。 "The U.S. team actually repelled the Soviet Union and completed one of the biggest reversals in the history of sport. It was a night known as the "Miracle on Ice" and it was breathtaking.

'Million Dollar Baby'
Clint Eastwood's 2004 boxing film won the Academy Award for Best Picture, and we certainly understand why. There is no doubt that this is a very touching and influential film. The relationship between a boxer and a coach has always been an important part of better boxing movies, but the film seems to take it up a notch.
Million Dollar Baby
"Success in man" 'Invictus'
Definitely the king of all rugby movies! "Unconquerable" is a stunning true story that takes place in South Africa and is directed by Clint Eastwood. Morgan Freeman plays Nelson Mandela for helping the post-segregation national reunification without a better way to do so through sport.
