Which sports movies are worth watching and potentially buying? What are the best sports movies and also good movies? This list includes fifteen of the greatest sports movies ever to grace the silver screen.

The Waterboy

It's funny to see Adam Sandler in a list of movies that are praised, but we have him. The movie is sweet, funny, heartwarming and has some great tackles. One by Kathy Bates alone is worth the admission price.

Talladega Nights - The Ballad Of Ricky Bobby

Another SNL alum and another great sports film soap 2day. This movie, about a man who just wanted to get fast, was made during the period that many people consider the peak of Will Farrell’s humor. It featured Jane Lynch (before her Glee days) and Gary Cole.

Major League

Charlie Sheen, Wesley Snipes and Corbin Bernsen together in one film? The original film was fun and unique. It played on our love for an underdog, as well as the Yankees' loss.

Days of Thunder

The film featured Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, before they became the Cruises. This was not necessarily a bad thing. It made NASCAR cool, even before it was as popular as it is now. The film features some intense racing scenes and cameos by some of the biggest racing stars.

A League of Their Own
