World's Greatest Sporting Movies

Robert Redford in The Natural
But what of those movie makers who have combined both passions?
From the quinessential Rocky movies through to Mickey Rourke and The Wrestler, Robert Redford's - The Natural to Field of Dreams, Friday Night Lights, Cool Runnings and even Rollerball - there have been literally hundreds of 'killer' movies featuring all that is good (and sometimes) all that isn't - when it comes to sport.
But what have been the best in your mind?
Does Caddyshack make the cut?
Perhaps Wimbledon?
Bad News Bears or Chariots of Fire?
Would love to hear your take on it.
