Terrible list. Top 20 eclectic movies maybe. Movies on F1, cycling, and poker? List was so bad I'm surprised it didnt have Nacho Libre or Talladega Nights on there!
Missing some definites
Rudy
Remember the Titans
Miracle
Rocky 4
The Natural
Cinderella Man

I would have put Vision Quest on the list. One of my favorites. Oh, and don't forget "No Holds Barred"

As I recall, "Breaking Away" was filmed in Athens. They made a TV series subsequently, which flopped.

Tin Cup is a good one. So is Dead Solid Perfect. I am a huge golfer.

Thought it was filmed in Bloomington, Indiana?

How is Over the Top not on the list? Perhaps one of the greatest movies ever!

I just checked. You're correct, the movie was set (and filmed) in Bloomington. The TV series was filmed in Athens. It only filmed 8 episodes, and just 7 were shown.

Friday Night Lights? Seriously? Not a fan at all. The Program should absolutely be on that list. Agree with the other posters that Rudy and Remember the Titans should be on there. Vision Quest is also awesome. I am also a huge fan of the original Major League.

Rudy not being on this list in an absolute travesty! Other that should/could make the list:
Bull Durham
The Natural
The Program (debatable)
Friday Night Lights
Varsity Blues (for my generation, this was a big one)
Days of Thunder (come on now, not even a race fan but this was a good one. "Rubbing's racing")
Driven (for mma fans, this is a really good documentary on Jens "Little Evil" pulver. Think its on Netflix now)
The Fighter (can't remeber if this was on the list, but probably one of the best sports movies in the last decade or so)

Ohhh mannn! Glaring ommission. Brian's Song. Try to watch that one without getting a lump in your throat. This one has to be on the list. Top ten.
