A couple of my favorites that I didn't notice mentioned:

The Rookie (with Dennis Quaid)
Kicking and Screaming
Sugar (2008) (a great movie about the trials of a Dominican baseball player trying to make it as a professional in the U.S.)

 

[CloneFan65]

Probably not sports movies but the “sport” is on ESPN occasionally. The Color of Money and Rounders.

If we include the Color of Money, then we should include the original, The Hustler, of which the Color of Money is a sequel.

 

[Cyclones8824]

Depending if you count it as a sport, but Ricky Bobby is my favorite "sports movie"

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

A couple of my favorites that I didn't notice mentioned:

The Rookie (with Dennis Quaid)
Kicking and Screaming
Sugar (2008) (a great movie about the trials of a Dominican baseball player trying to make it as a professional in the U.S.)

Scenes from John O'Donnell stadium in Davenport and also the stadium in Burlington.

Also should consider an Iowa movie and I found it surprisingly good; The Final Season about the Norway Iowa HS Baseball team's last season.

The Final Season (2007) ⭐ 6.5 | Drama, Sport

Also things to consider are remakes

I know this blasphemy to most on here but I enjoy newer Longest Yard more than the original.

Also what about a franchise like Rocky. Some could make a case a couple of Rocky movies could make a top 64 sports movie list.

I did like Creed.

Rocky Balboa was actually pretty good as well.
