A few which haven't been mentioned (I think) The Iron Claw - not really a film about wrestling but a super watch Dodgeball - stupid fun Kingpin - see Dodgeball Remember the Titans - Denzel is outstanding The Champ - pretty average with an incredibly sad last scene
You have to have a heart made of granite to not well up at the final scene of 'The Champ'
there is a boxing film the BLEEDER about chuck wepna who came from nowhere to fight ALI , he cut easily and bled a lot, hence the nickname. this film covers his story and the ROCKY films, he claims, are based on his life . it's ok.

'The Games' 1970.
I'd percolate my left bollock in a stove top Mocca pot to see this film again. Hard to find but well worth the effort.
It's set in a fictitious Olympic Games in Rome, late 60's early 70's. It follows 4 marathon runners and their road to the maneater of all olympic disicplines , The Marathon.
Micheal Crawford stars as 'Harry' a wing footed ernie on the milk round trained by Stanly Baker who makes Klaus Barbie seem like Barry the ballroon dancer from Hi de Hi. A brutal trainer who drives Harry into the concrete with his training regimes.
Harry is blessed with a turn of paace like Alan Wells with a kinder egg of sulphate dissolving up his arse and Baker convinces Harry to run from the front for the whole 26 miles to break the field.
This in 90 degree heat.
the other 3 runners in the story arc are a Bare footed aboriginal, Ryan O'neal as the handsome Shagger from the USA, and beleive it or not, French crooner Charles Aznavour as an iron cutrtain T 800 steroid beserker running to defeat imperialism and the filthy opulence and decadence of the coca cola swilling , 501 jean wearing pigs in the morally bankrupt west.
It's F uckin' Great. I would dearly love to get a copy of it.
i wont spoil it , but try to watch oit if you can. Fantastique.
obvs thumbs up for ;
'Kes', 'Rollerball', 'The Firm', 'I.D' 'Away days' incredible soundtrack.
and the Daddy.of them all . '
Raging Bull' ' i''m da boss, I'm da boss, I'm da boss, I'm da boss, I'm da boss... I'm da boss, I'm da boss, I'm da boss, I'm da boss, I'm da boss, I'm da boss...'

Oh, Disco, ID. My S Club 7 Dont Stop Movinโ guilty secret of the film world.
The god-like Sean Pertwee, Saskia Reeves, playing quite possible the FILTHIEST barmaid in the history of UK screen, itโs even got belly laughs, provided by that sit-com no mark playing the coked-up hard man lead and โฆ. well I just canโt watch an episode of Outnumbered without thinking โwhy canโt it be happy sex?โ Quite wrong of me, of course.
Um, has anyone said Mean Machine? (The original of course, you youngsters).
I love Moneyball, too.

Eight men out is probably the greatest sporting film, baseball makes great movies. Fire in Babylon is a brilliant doc about West Indies cricket. Both Rocky and Raging Bull are brilliant.

I, Tonya is a great shout.
That Margot Robbie is such a talent.
Highly recommended.

โInto the Storm: Surfing to Surviveโ is an inspiring documentary about a young surfer from a poor neighbourhood in Peru trying to make it as a pro.
โChallengersโ is a love triangle romp spread over the careers of 3 players on the US tennis circuit. The tennis scenes are really well done and I enjoyed it quite a bit more than I thought I would is all Iโm going to say

This Sporting Life - Richard Harris' first starring role. Rugby league and Northern grit. The trailer is deeply un-PC...
Not seen it for many years but it really is superbly done.
