This is one hell of a topic. So many to choose from and all of them get the blood pumping.

Gone a bit 'left field' with this. Pardon the pun. A first for me putting a Bollywood film on the list. Should probably swap fatal games for death race 2000 which is an infinitely better film but I've tried to be unpredictable with this one....

Top 10 Sporting Movies.

Escape to Victory (1981)
Cool Runnings (1993)
Seabiscuit (2003)
Secretariat (2010)*
The Damned United (2009)
Goal! The Dream Begins (2005)
Invictus (2009)
The World's Fastest Indian (2005)
The Harder they Fall (1956)
Mike Bassett: England Manager (2001)


I would have put Real Steel (2011) and Shaolin Soccer (2001) in the list but as they don't feature real sports i left them out. Two films i thought were excellent - Kenny (2017) and Trouble With the Curve (2012) may have featured had i done this list in a few years time but as i've only seen them once i don't know if they stand repeated viewings.

Thank you to everyone who contributed their list(s) of favourite sports films – I am still working on a definitive top 10 (and 20). The weather outside is very white at the moment thanks to the "Beast from the East" so 'Snow-based Films' would be a logical topic, but that was done last, and for at least the second time, in December.

Something I don't think has been a stand-alone topic and could be illuminating, especially if you can order the lists, is for you to compile your list of the top 10 films by the greatest director who never won an Oscar, the one and only 'Master of Suspense'.

ALFRED HITCHCOCK FILMS
