Casino - it's a film about a chap who is good at betting on sports though to pad the story out a bit there's a load of other periphery stuff that goes on
Goal. Never forget watching it at the cinema. The slow motion shots, the sound track, the strange disconnect between the pictures and the sound, the 1960s fashions. Just watching football in colour was a novelty!
There's a film about two Americans, a woman and a man, who travel round the world playing in "park" games. Ms AA doesn't like footie but she really enjoyed this film as it's much more about what it means to play the game than the actual football itself.

Yet.
Raging Bull is brilliant, as is Next Goal Wins.
I find Cool Runnings hilarious and my guilty pleasure is Happy Gilmore....
Stable Girl Confidential
Brazilian Mud Wrestlers XXXtreme
The Harder They Fall 1956, which was Humphrey Bogart's last film
and I'll put million dollar baby out there as the worst
Obviously.

It's called Pelada (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1530953/) and it's the best sport film I've seen.
