    Lot of good choices on that list. I actually would have gone with Rocky, but I voted for Raging Bull. Raging Bull is not just a great sports film, but an great movie period, albeit a dark story about a flawed man. Rocky is an iconic and uplifting film, and a quintessentially American story about a nobody who's handed a second chance to become a somebody.

    One of those things, but it seems like boxing is a sport tailor made for compelling films. For one thing, boxing in general is more exciting to watch via movies, than in real life. Baseball also works to a degree because it ties into so many Americana themes. For whatever reason, football has never translated well on screen.

    OK, you guys got me, Rocky should have been there, and maybe Cinderella Man (a little too new though, we'll have too see how well time treats it) but...

    The Karate Kid???

    It was good movie Kam, but greatest sports movie of all time? I dunno 'bout that!

    The Rookie was good Groundbeef, but given that three superior baseball movies were already on the list, I took a pass.

    Cut me some slack here guys, like I said I could only choose 10!
