Movies Great sports movies based on a true story or documentaries

[Mr. Shickadance]

Pretty much any 30 for 30. And the Magic/Bird doc is incredible.

Yeah 30 for 30’s are something I should get into , but I guess I prefer the biopics or movies based on a true story. I think I’ve tried a couple 30 for 30’s and didn’t like the presentation but maybe I’ll give it another shot

So I’ve been watching hockey for the last few years but didn’t watch it growing up. So I’m sitting around watching the lightning vs the kings and thinking I don’t know much hockey history. So…

but I also figure why stop there? Why not every sport? Let’s do baseball , football, soccer, and hell let’s throw something like kabaddi in if you know one.
So movies I’ve seen:
Baseball:
Babe
A league of their own
Cobb
Moneyball
Football:
Brian’s song
Rudy
Soccer:
????
Hockey:
Miracle on ice ( I’ve never seen it)
Rugby:
????
Tennis:
????
Boxing:
Raging bull
The fighter
Figure skating:
I, Tonya ( haven’t seen)
Kabaddi:
????
MMA:

but you guys get the point, help a brotha out recommend some things.

It’s not ENTIRELY factually correct, but Foxcatcher is a good movie about wrestling. The basic facts of the events are there, there’s just some added stuff for drama.

I didn't see anyone mention this, but I say this is the best basketball sports movie imo.
