Best reality based sports movie?

Does anyone think they'll make a movie about Lance Armstrong? His story is very inspiring.

If you have any interest in him, you really should read his book. I'm not an avid reader, but I flew through it in a day.

In reference to the Lance Armstrong movie, i was watching one of those crappy hollywood news shows today and they were talking about matt damon possibly playing the role

I loved Miracle because I remember the whole thing happening in 1980. We sold a ton of USA hockey jerseys during that event. And everybody really wanted to play hockey that had never even thought about playing before. The "real" Miracle was great for hockey equipment sales!

Here is the movie not yet mentioned that you have to be a Texas A & M Aggie fan to love: The Junction Boys.This happened in the mid '50's. Coach Paul "Bear" Bryant takes 140 + players to Junction, Texas for training camp and only 37 come back on the bus. The rest quit. They couldn't handle it. The team goes winless that season and four years later is SEC Champs. Bear Bryant stated that his best team was that team that went to Junction. Read the book, its amazing. "Gig'em!"

I would love to be the 12th Man and run downfield on a Texas A & M kick-off at Kyle Field!

I dono but I thought that Friday Night Lights was horribly done. For a movie that was supposed to take place around 1988, the players were wearing oakley visors, cutters football gloves, under armour (all of these items being made recently) not to mention the GMC Jimmy's driving around in the background during some scenes. I suppose it was a good story but after seeing some of these things all I could do was laugh.

Ahh, the beauty of product placement.

LOL Does MVP count as reality? :D

I would have to go with Cool Runnings especially since we're trying to do the same with hockey down here in the Philippines!

That and The Replacements (which is what I thought the NHL was going to end up doing).

Apologies that both choices are not included in the original list of choices.
