2.) Battle Of The Sexes- This a recent sports film about a famous feud between tennis players Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs.

It deserves some of the Oscar nominations it’s been receiving.

3.) The Big Lebowski- Now this story isn’t necessarily about a sport, but it features one. The movie stars Jeff Bridges as “The Dude” who is mistaken for a billionaire with the same last name: Lebowski.

It’s not a work of art, but it’s definitely a fantastic film to watch with the family on a Saturday night.

8.) Caddyshack- The film is comedy starring Bill Murray. The film is about a golf course where on a random day goofy, wacky things start happy out of nowhere. One of these include the capturing of a destructive dancing gopher. The humor is definitely the best thing about this movie. It needs to be since it’s a comedy. Murray gives one of his best performances ever, and the film is such a joy to watch.

9.) 42- “42” tells the famous story of Jackie Robinson. He is an african-american baseball player who is signed by the Brooklyn Dodgers, and has to face a dangerous amount of racism to become a successful player. Chadwick Boseman does a great job playing the iconic baseball player. The story is uplifting, full of emotion, and the film displays an accurate portrayal of the events taking place.
