Just looking at golf movies, in addition to what you have, I think you have to include:
The Greatest Game Ever Played (2005)
The Legend of Bagger Vance (2000)

I hate Disney movies about sports. If you were really trying to tell the story of Secretariat, you have to start the year before where the same exact owner, jockey and trainer combination won 2/3 of the Triple Crown. That wouldn't go along with the down and out owner, jockey and trainer but why let the facts get in the way of a good movie.

Queens Gambit

Million Dollar Baby

A lot of them just suck, the real thing is way more interesting.

Caddyshack was a great comedy as was Bad News Bears.

For whoever said Glory Road....eff you.

The top end of these lists are obvious... The options are limited.

Not mentioned just for the sound track and entertainment...Above the Rim.

Teen wolf? Come on man. That dude in the costume pretending to be m.j. fox was great.

Cool Runnings? No mention.

Had this debate the other day.

Which SPORT has the greatest sports movies? The sports are as is, however, we made Boxing it's own and any other fighting movies into it's own category.

As much as baseball bores me to death.. it has undeniably the best collection of movies. We decided that football was 2nd. Boxing and Basketball were the most contested for 3rd. Hockey was 4th.

Thoughts?
