OT - Favorite Sports Movies, by Sport
With the absence of sports and running out of shows to binge, I've been watching and re-watching a lot of movies, some of which are my favorite sports movies. There are so many good ones but which are your favorites, per sport? They can be based on real life events or original screenplays, just not Documentaries. Here are mine, feel free to add any sports that I didn't add.
Baseball - Major League
Football - The Program
Hockey - Youngblood
Basketball - White Men Can't Jump
Boxing - Rocky III
Tennis - Borg v. McEnroe
Golf - Happy Gilmore
Olympic Style Sports - I, Tonya
Martial Arts - The Karate Kid
Auto Racing - Talladega Nights
