Freddie C, I also watched Knute Rockne, All American the other night. It is a little hokey, but the acting is good so it doesn't degenerate into a lame movie. And the football action is choreographed very well.
If the definition of "sports" could be expanded to include surfing and dirt bike racing, I would have to add The Endless Summer and On Any Sunday, two classics by director Bruce Brown.
The Endless Summer is best viewed on the biggest screen possible...if you have a projector, it's even better.
