What about North Dallas Forty? Great reviews. Maltin's guide says its the best Grid Iron Pic ever made. It's a great movie, which belongs close to the top of this list. The other day, a listing on Google had it squarely in the top 10 of sports pics. Fear Strikes Out, Pride of the Yankees and Bad News Bears (Matthau version) belong here. I confess I haven't heard of some on this list.
