Raging Bull (1980) vs Jerry Maguire (1996)

Bump, just finding this now. I'm not a huge sports fan and that largely translates to sports films, however there are a handful of truly great pictures either focused on a sport or using one as a backdrop or allegory:

1. The Hustler
2. Le Mans
3. Raging Bull
4. White Men Can't Jump
5. The Lusty Men
6. He Got Game
7. Bull Durham
8. Body and Soul
9. The Wrestler
10. Breaking Away
