Sports movies
Training, defeats and one final match.
Sports films are built the same way every time and still work: the hero loses, trains, loses again and walks out for the last match. Boxing, running, team games and the real lives of athletes.

Frequently asked
- Do I need to follow the sport to enjoy them?
- No. The rules are always explained as you go, and the story rests on a person rather than a technique. An unfamiliar sport can even make it more interesting.
- Which sports films are the strongest?
- Usually the ones drawn from real biographies — the drama is already there. Sort by IMDb rating in search to bring them to the top.
