In the midst of draping our sports heroes in glory, we can forget that they're not always dynamic, astounding individuals. Consequently, one of the finest attributes of Gavin O'Connor's tribute to gruff coach Herb Brooks is that it never stops reminding us that the man who led the underdog U.S. hockey team to an unlikely gold medal was no touchy-feely, heart-tugging dude. As played by Kurt Russell, Brooks is a merciless taskmaster, whipping his young players into shape in order to prepare them for taking on the fearsome Soviet Union team in the 1980 Winter Olympics. Miracle isn't any less riveting because of Russell's terrifically flinty performance or because we know how the movie's electric finale will end. It merely makes the reaction to his team's triumph all the more moving. TG

Caught between the old-world traditions of her Indian family and the need for new-world assimilation in Britain, first-generation immigrant teen heroine Jesminder "Jess" Bjamra simply wants one thing out of life: to play soccer for her country's national team, just like her idol David Beckham. There are a few obstacles in her way, the main one being a disapproving mother who'd never allow her daughter to play such a ruffian's sport. But with a little help from a player on a local team (hi there, Keira Knightley!) and a cute coach, Jess may be able to achieve her goal(s). Gurinder Chadha's follow-your-dreams fable wouldn't work half as well if weren't for future ER star Parminder Nagra's winning performance and a real knack for nailing how sports can boost the self-esteem and self-identity of young women.

Drawing on her brother Ned Dowd's experiences in the lowest reaches of professional hockey, screenwriter Nancy Dowd created this spirited, profane tribute to sports' lost causes and those who see them through to the end. Paul Newman stars as a player/coach who resorts to questionable, often violent, tactics to boost the profits of the Charlestown Chiefs, the local heroes of a failing steel-mill town. Director George Roy Hill directs the ice-rink mayhem with tremendous energy, but it's the underlying sense of futility that makes the film resonate. The Chiefs may win, but the world keeps reminding them they were born to lose. Long live the Hanson brothers. KP

This compilation of films covers all sports activities. Sports films have been made since the era of silent films, such as the 1915 film The Champion starring Charlie Chaplin. Films in this genre can range from serious (Raging Bull) to silly (Horse Feathers). A classic theme for sports films is the triumph of an individual or team who prevail despite the difficulties, standard elements of melodrama.[1]

Note: This category is for films about sports in general or films about athletes participating in multiple sports. This category is not for films featuring the Olympics, Paralympics, X-Games and other similar "games" which fall under the "Multisport Games / Olympics" category. Films featuring specific sports should be listed under that specific sport.

It means our opinions of these movies vary wildly. Especially when you work at a media company with 400-plus employees who are all sports diehards. And opinionated. So in trying to determine the Top 100 Sports movies of all time, we decided to make the process as democratic as possible. That meant a lot of rules, processes and restrictions.

Deion Sanders spent nine seasons as an outfielder in the MLB and 14 seasons on the gridiron; he is the only athlete to ever play in both a World Series and a Super Bowl. Sanders went on to become the head coach of the Jackson State University (JSU) Tigers, and Coach Prime is a documentary about his third year at JSU. The series covers Sanders both on and off the field, including gameplay and injuries, recruiting, and the infamous water crisis in Jackson, Mississippi.

Adrianna Freedman writes all things TV and film for Cosmo. When not binge-watching the latest series on Netflix, she is busy singing along to her favorite artists/showtunes, consuming too many coffees a day and dreaming about penning her next big story.

Mainly for the better, but sometimes for the worse, there are no shortage of sports movies. When done well, a sports movie can elicit several emotional responses: love, joy, happiness, passion, etc. They can provide more heart than an NBA player playing defense in an All-Star game. When talking about the best sports movies ever, it's almost impossible to narrow it down to 25 films. Amazing titles such as Glory Road, Million Dollar Baby, I, Tonya and literally handfuls of others, all deserve their accolades, but ultimately did not appear on this list for one reason or another.

A good sports film tugs at your heart strings because you or your family know all too well the struggle being portrayed, or, on the other hand, can make you laugh because of the situations being presented. The truth is: sports brings out the best of us emotionally, and a great film can capitalize on that and deliver expounding results. So, which sports movies did make the list? Let's get to it.

Certainly not your average sports comedy, the 1979 film Breaking Away is one of two films based in Indiana that made this list. The Peter Yates-directed flick is unusual for a sports-comedy film in another way as well: it won an Academy Award when Steve Tesich won for Best Screenplay. Breaking Away stars Dennis Christopher, Dennis Quaid, and Daniel Stern, among others, in a film about local stonecutters who, after a fight over a young woman, take it to some local university students on the bike team.

We Are Marshall depicts the true story of perhaps the greatest tragedy to befall an American sports team. The 2006 film follows the aftermath of a plane crash in 1970 that killed 75 people, 37 of whom were from the Marshall football program. Matthew McConaughey and Matthew Fox play Jack Lengyel and Red Dawson, respectively, as they coach the remaining team members who do not make the fateful trip, and welcome new recruits so that Marshall can simply field a team.

Bull Durham explores that same old story: Boy is almost a great pitcher and meets Girl while he is mentored by Man. Girl plays light bondage with Boy while trying to help him, all while holding out for mentor Man? Oh wait, that story is pretty unique. The first of several Kevin Costner films on the list, Bull Durham was the perfect mix of comedy, romance, and sports. The tutelage story worked well, and Costner delivered a pretty good speech that was the center for Susan Sarandon's Annie Savoy and her affection for him. The affection comes despite Savoy flirting with Eddy "Nuke" LaLoosh (Tim Robbins). While the 1988 baseball film didn't win any Oscars, it was nominated for Best Screenplay.

Let's be honest here and admit Costner could have his own category with sports films. The man was born to play in this genre, and movies like Bull Durham, Tin Cup, Field of Dreams, and Draft Day show why. His acting chops, when it comes to sports films, are truly next level, and Tin Cup is certainly no exception. The 1996 golf film features Costner's Roy McAvoy falling for psychologist Molly Griswold (Rene Russo). All is going well for McAvoy as he enters the U.S Open to get even with his old friend David Simms (Don Johnson). After a hiccup in a round where he shoots an 83, McAvoy finds himself in a three-way tie to win on the last day.

This is where disaster strikes, while featuring certainly one of the most persistent scenes in sports film history. Instead of shelving his pride to try to salvage a win, McAvoy tries to clear a water hazard taking several shots to do so, moving himself clearly out of contention before he lands an amazing shot to clear the water into the hole. While pride is at the center of this scene, the display of persistence is to be commended and truly reflects the competitive spirit all athletes have deep within them.

A fictional film based on true events, A League of Their Own hit the plate in 1992. The sports-themed dramedy charmed audiences with its fun, "There's no crying in baseball" approach. The film chronicles the story about The Peaches, a team from the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League in a bid to keep baseball alive and well during World War II. Tom Hanks, Rosie O'Donnell, Madonna, Geena Davis, and many more light up the screen as the story unfolds.

The film has a great character arc with Hanks' Jimmy Dugan doing a 180-degree turn from abrasive and mean to having the backs of his players and treating them with respect and dignity. A League of Their Own also chronicles the comradery of the teammates as they have their own on and off the field struggles dealing with issues ranging from sexism and womanizing from their male organizers, love, and even garnering respect as they parade for audiences to take their sport seriously. The film spawned two television series, one in 1993 on CBS, and the other much more recently on Prime Video.

Friday Night Lights adapts a true story from the pages of H.G. Bissinger's Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, and a Dream. Starring Billy Bob Thornton, Lucas Black, Amber Heard, and more, the 2004 film tells the story of the 1988 season of Permian High School from Odessa, Texas. Facing issues such as injuries, abusive family members, and constant setbacks, the Panthers rally after the injury of their star quarterback and come up just short in the playoffs against Carter High School. The film did win an ESPY and also spawned a series order in 2006 on NBC. e24fc04721
