Not sure what a "sport movie" is defined as:

but I will recommend some movies that have a sport as a central theme,(that I would easily recommend! :banana: )

in no particular order: (I think many of these movies are fun and inspirational)

Rudy,(starring Sean Astin) pertains to Football

Hoosiers,(staring Gene Hackman) pertains to Basketball

The Cutting Edge,(starring DB Sweeney) pertains to Olympic Ice Skating

The Natural(starring Robert Redford) pertains to Baseball

The Karate Kid(starring Ralph Machio) pertains to (you guessed it!) Karate

Caddyshack(starring Bill Murray) pertains to Golf

Cool Runnings(starring John Candy) pertains to Olympic Bobsledding

The Sandlot(starring Tom Guiry and many others) pertains to Baseball

as always great question and post Rain(Mandy) :hug:

btw: If I was to recommend a Rocky movie it would have to be Rocky3(the one with MR T in it ) :)
