All the ones listed are great... as well as many others. My "current" favorite is "Draft Day".
Blindside, Marshall, Remember the Titans, Hoosiers,... so many great ones.

Depends on if you are talking a drama or comedy. For drama, I'd go with Hooisers. For comedy, I go with The Replacements

Brian's Song for old school. Remember The Titans for more recent. Hoosier's, Rocky, a lot of good ones to choose from.

Field of Dreams because it speaks to me. My own Dad died before he and I could ever really truly be friends, and I'd love to hang out with his ghost and play catch!
"Hey Dad, do you wanna have a catch?"
I'm man enough to admit I get an allergy attack (because real men don't cry) every time I see that scene.

I've never been overly fond of sports movies but after going through IMDBs list of the top 100 sports movies, I saw a couple that affected me more than others.

Million Dollar Baby - (Boxing) - This movie broke my heart. Seeing this eager girl putting in the effort to become a great only to be swindled by her family. You really wanted this to have a happy ending, but life doesn't always work that way.

The Fighter - (Boxing) - This was another movie where you could see that as much as we all want our family rooting for us, sometimes even our family are holding us back.

A League of Their Own - (Baseball) - I enjoyed the family dynamic with sibling rivalry. I enjoyed the depiction of the politics involved. I also enjoyed the underdog story of no one taking women's baseball seriously so they set out to prove them wrong.

Wow there's so many. My favorite is Knute Rockne All American, but Rudy, Remember the Titans, and Facing the Giants are all really good too. If we went with sports comedy then Happy Gilmore.
