Miracle. The 1980 U.S. Olympic gold in hockey. All time top 5 sports movie or not? What sports movies are better?

I feel regret for not including A League of Their Own on my list. I only own like five DVDs and that's one of them.
@Xmas32 great call on Vision Quest. Completely forgot about that movie.

For me a sports movie (or any movie for that matter) is only as good as its music score. My top two would be
Hoosiers and The Natural. I also liked Chariots of Fire.
I also think that it depends on the sport you like. Breaking Away is one of the best sports movies for me because I love cycling.
Rocky was ok but they killed it by making so many sequels. Sandlot is also a nostalgic favorite. I also have to give a nod to
The Pride of the Yankees w/Gary Cooper. Incredible classic.
Miracle was very good but when you’ve experienced the real thing a movie has a hard time measuring up although the coach’s real life wife said Kurt Russell did such a great job playing her husband it was like having her husband there again.
