Motivating sports movies

I remember watching
Ice Castles as a kid and wanting nothing more than to be an ice skater. (Preferably without a terrible accident that caused blindness, though.) So maybe the movie is a bit cheesy and admitting that I had a little crush on Robby Benson certainly dates me as a child of the '70s, but it motivated me into trying something I'd never tried before. And that's exactly what a great sports movie can do.
FitSugar recently asked readers what their favorite motivational sports movies were... and they
came up with a great list. Some of the picks are:
- Remember the Titans.
- Million Dollar Baby
- Miracle
- Rudy

FitSugar for the full list. A couple of my favorites that didn't make the list are Hoosiers and The Rookie. What other sports movies have inspired you?
