Top 5 favorite sports movies

[AbejasAsesinas]

1) The Sandlot - In my opinion, the most transcendent film about baseball. I have a feeling that my kids and my grandchildren will enjoy it as much as I do.
2) The Natural - First movie I ever saw in the theater. I was an infant, and apparently I didn't make a peep throughout the film. I suspect this movie is the reason why I developed a love for baseball.
3) Soul of the Game - I wasn't as impressed with "42" as I had hoped to be. "Soul of the Game", however, did not let me down.
4) The Blind Side - Talk about an inspirational story. My favorite football movie.
5) The Big Lebowski - Bowling is a sport.... right?

I really, really liked Rocky I. Rocky II very nice as well. The character studies/development were awesome. And the life lessons learned can be applied to our own lives as well - especially since I have been in competitive sports most my whole life (now Masters swimmer). Rocky teaches young and old alike about life and what it takes to succeed. Before a swim meet I watch Rocky and get all pumped up! Great movie. Burgess Meredith was awesome! Some of the inspirational training segments almost bring tears to my eyes.

Nothing you can't do after watching Rocky! Stallone's finest!

Side note addition: Rocky, 1976, 10 Oscar Nominations, 3 Oscars: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Film Editing. Any other Sports move ever have the nominations and awards of Rocky?
