The Best Sports Movies of All-Time

“If you build it, they will come.” !That famous line comes from this perennial film about a man (Kevin Costner) that decides to build a baseball field on his land. It’s great

sports movie that was nominated for a number of Oscars.

The best basketball film of all time.!

Hoosiers may seem like just another underdog overcoming overwhelming odds trope but the true story is much

more than that. Hoosiers tells the story of a unlikely coach and a drunk

leading a high-school basketball team to victory.

High-school football is really a way of life in Odessa, Texas.

This movie doesn’t exaggerate too much in telling this compelling story. Tremendous pressure is put on the football stars of Permian High School. This

story tells of the team’s pursuit of a state title in 1988.

Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill may seem like an odd couple for a sports drama, but the duo makes this a masterpiece in storytelling. This true story is about the general manager of a baseball team with a

tight budget trying to compete with teams with bigger pocketbooks by using statistical analysis.

Raging BullRaging Bull is neck and neck with Rocky for best sports movie. Maybe

boxing and film makes for great drama or maybe Martin Scorcese knows how to make a great movie. Either way Jake LaMotta’s story could not have

told better. A must see for any sports or movie fan.

To clarify, the first one. Rocky is a classic comeback story. From an enforcer and boxer in Philadelphia to fighting for the title against

Apollo Creed. The significance of this film goes beyond boxing and film and made

Sylvester Stallone a star.
