Either The Damned United or Fever Pitch. Bend it like Beckham afterwards.

As for other sports, you have Invictus (rugby), Slapshot (Ice hockey), The Wrestler (pro wrestling), Nacho Libre (lucha libre, and based on a real story  :ph34r:), Wimbledon (tennis), Caddyshack (golf)...

I can't really think of any soccer movies other than Victory and Goal, and I haven't seen the entirety of Victory.

However, Goal sucked.

Oh, and that movie with Cantona, though that wasn't really about soccer.

I'd put up "Rudy" as a contender for American Football.

Definitely.  People who don't like Rudy probably didn't cry in Benji when his little girlfriend dog got kicked by the kidnappers, either.  Fucking soulless tards.

I'd also put up The Program for college ball as well.  Kinda all over the place, but a lot of truth in that flick.
:rolleyes:

Invicible

Fuck the Iggles and everything coming out of Filthadelphia.

:lol:Better than some movie about the fighting fags.

Hell another old one would be Fighting Back.

But your speed would be...........

Rocky is both the best boxing movie AND the best sports movie ever IMO.  #2 is Raging Bull in both categories also.

There are a couple of recent Spanish comedies/dramedies around soccer, but I don't expect anyone from out of the country to see them.

- Días de fútbol is about a group of guys in their 30s, down on their collective luck, that decide to recreate the amateur team they were part of when they were kids in order to take out their frustrations.

- El penalty más largo del mundo is about the reserve goalkeeper of a team at the lowest division in the league, who in the last game of the season, with the team facing promotion if they don't loose the last game, has to enter the game when the first keeper is injured and is afterwards signalled a penalty against his team at the last minute of the game. After a pitch invasion the match is postponed a week, and will be re-started with the penalty kick one week afterwards.
