Hoosiers is very good.

Breaking Away is underrated.
I can't remember the exact line but when they are talking about the race one of the kids mentions that his dad loves to see him fail and that he has a birthday soon.

Yeah Breaking Away is really good, was just thinking I'd like to see it again just the other day. One I would add is Fear Strikes Out, haven't seen that in forever.

Cliche but Field of Dreams.

I think baseball movies fit the bill more for these as they tend to revolve around the 'mystique' of the sport.

I am not a crier......but that movie still makes me verklempt. I know what you are saying about cliche....the soundtrack/musical score of that movie is just made for mind control....but it just works.

These at the top, but also really like / appreciate many of the others being posted.

Btw, Shooter McGavin is an excellent follow on Twitter for those who found his character hilarious in HG
