Quotes from and reviews of selected sports movies

The best sports movies of all time.

.
So here they are, our picks for the top movie in each sport. That's right, 20 sports, 20 No. 1 movies. From auto racing to wrestling. Some are obvious, some debatable and some may just make you say, "What -- no Over the Top?"

.
(One note: For simplicity's sake, we've considered movie movies only. No documentaries, no TV flicks. That's why, as wonderful as they may be, there's no Hoop Dreams, no The Endless Summer, no Brian's Song.)
