I never full answered the question - Best Sports Movie ever?  I would have to go with He Got Game.  A Spike Lee classic.  Ray Allen, Denzel Washington and Milla Jovovich in a beautiful father/son story set against a bluechip basketball player's decision to go pro or play play for the state university. Lee actually repurposed music from composer Aaron Copland for the film to give the score a universally appealing "heartland" feel.  Great read on that here: http://www.allmusic.com/album/he-got-game-the-music-of-aaron-copland-motion-picture-soundtrack-mw0000382819

The Natural, and Field of Dreams still hold a special place in my heart, though and who doesn't love Amy Smart all whipped up in Varsity Blues?
