Want to know the best Sports Movies? How about the worst Sports Movies? Curious about Sports Movies did at the box office or which Sports Movies picked up the most Oscar® nominations and Oscar® wins? Need to know which Sports Movies movie got the best reviews from critics and audiences? Well you have come to the right place….because we have all of that information.
A few years ago, I got a request from HubPages’s Stevennix2001 to figure out the Top 100 Sports Movies according to our Ultimate Movie Rankings (UMR) Score formula. Well I had to research over 1,200 sports movies….but I was able to come up with a Top 100. Along the way I actually wrote 14 sports movie pages. Many of those pages look at each individual sport….for example Ranking Baseball Movies. The final page I did was this one….which lists over 400 movies that received a Ultimate Movie Rankings (UMR) Score. To be eligible a movie had to play in movie theaters in North America.
Sports Movies Can Be Ranked 6 Ways In This Table
The really cool thing about this table is that it is “user-sortable”. Rank the movies anyway you want.
- Sort Movies by the type of sport
- Sort Movies by the star of the movie
- Sort Movies by adjusted box office grosses using current movie ticket cost
- Sort by how Movies were received by critics and audiences. 60% rating or higher should indicate a good movie.
- Sort by how many Oscar® nominations and how many Oscar® wins each Sports Movies received.
- Sort Sports Movies by Ultimate Movie Rankings (UMR) Score. UMR Score puts box office, reviews and awards into a mathematical equation and gives each movie a score.
- This table is freaking huge. You need to use the sort and search buttons to find information. For example if you want to see Kevin Costner sports movies…type his name in the search box and his 7 sports movies will pop up. You can do the same thing with sports….if you want to see cricket movies….type in cricket in the search box and the two cricket movies will pop up. Sylvester Stallone leads the way with 11 movies in the table.
very nice pick! i love also rocky for his boxing movies 🙂
Thank you DMVminimay

Hey chatrooms…..thanks for the visit…and glad to see you want to used this list in the future
Great list with great list on movies related to sport, thank you for sharing. Twitted and re-shared.
Hey jainismus …thanks for comment, the visit an the share…they are all greatly appreciated
Cogerson, I agree with nanderson about “Rocky” being #1, but I would have liked to have seen “Slap Shot”, “Major League” and “Bull Durham” a little higher. Cool idea for a Movie PAge.
Hey billd01603 …..thanks for the visit….I think all the movies you mentioned are really good movies….if I were to rated this list by personal preferences they would all be much higher….but this hub is a statistical ranking…meaning I just plugged in the numbers and the formula spit out the rankings. As much as I love Slap Shot and Bull Durham….my wife does like them at all….especially Slap Shot….but I still love her anyway….lol.
Rocky is one of my favorite movies. Nice to see it at #1.
Hey nanderson500…glad to see one of your favorites sitting on the top spot….after almost 40 years of release…I do not see anything moving Rocky from it’s spot.
