Sports movies generally feel very cliched. However, there is one that really stands out to me: Miracle, starring Kurt Russell. Compared to most "based on a true story" films, this one is actually very, very accurate, at least as far as how the games played out. It captures the feeling of the era of US/Soviet rivalry, the excitement of a realistic hockey game (they taught hockey players how to act, rather than teaching actors how to play hockey, and it shows), and it carries some fine drama with it. Most sports movies are meant to inspire, but to me they fall short. This one did not.
