Well then I guess I need to add the Sandlot and The Bad News Bears.
Actually, now that I am responding to the man down under I need to add Dogtown and Z Boys, The Endless Summer, and Blue Crush.

Good movie though, gotta love anything ever touched by MJ, and the cartoon versions of the players are classic.

Rudy and Hoosiers for me. Those were the only two movies that actually inspired me to become a better athlete.

Does Happy Gilmore Count?

*Ah, I see whambam already gave it a mention.
And PS, Any Given Sunday was one of the most boring movies i'd ever seen.
