Million Dollar Baby, although that movie wasn't necessarily focused on the essence of the sport like movies ssuch as Hoosiers and The Natural.

I also had Rocky on the list, but they don't allow more than 9 selections.

A League of Their Own.

No, just kidding.

Rocky.

Honorable Mention: Hoosiers. Hackman and Hopper + the greatest hoop underdog story ever! The greatest truism ever taught in sports, pointing out to the small-town kids that the big-time arena's floor is 94 feet long by 50 feet wide, and the hoop 10 feet tall-- just like in their haggard little gym. The ultimate personification of "Just Do It."

There is a Fletch film that has Chevy Chase as Fletch in a dream sequence with Chick Hearn making the call.

It really wasn't technically a sports movie, but one film featured Tom Hanks participating in a few different sports. In the film Forrest Gump, Hanks played football, pingpong, and was a runner.
