Bleacher Report's the 100 Greatest Sports Movies of All Time
"Is there anything a sports fan loves more than a good sports movie? If you think about it, sports movies aren't even fair. We already love sports, so we're halfway there before the movie even starts. Throw us a good story and we're ready to go for the ride.
