Apologies if there is a thread on this , however as we whittle away the days to the new footy season,

can anyone share their favourite sporting movies ?

i have seen and enjoyed the likes of

Invictus

Moneyball

The Replacements

Trouble with the curve

Fingers crossed after 2014 season, one can be filmed about EFC success.

Senna is pretty awesome, maybe not inspirational in some ways, but I found it an amazing movie.

Pharlap

I feature in that… along with everyone else who was at the MCG for the cricket the day the “PHAAAAAR LAP” chant was recorded. Except the chant mutated to “LILLLLLLLLL EE” a bit too early.

 

Add “Hoosiers”. Mind you, I remember almost nothing about it except I saw it in Ithaca on my birthday: those two facts are crucial as Ithaca College is name-dropped early on, and as I wanted to see something else (don‘t remember what) but it was rated PG-13 and some of my friends were still 12.
