    The Hustler was a great flick! Jackie Gleason I dont recall stared in many movies but he was super, in that one!

    One of my all time favorite actors in one of the best and purest racing movies ever.

    The fact that this 90's gem hasn't been mentioned is...

    ... understandable.

    That movie factors in prominently in my and my wife's love story--we've watched it together many times, and quote/reference it often. To me, the fact that you never find out how they do in the final competition eliminates it from consideration as a true sports movie.

    Great choice. Totally forgot about this one, and I went back and saw it several times when it came out. And I don't even consider car racing to be a sport in any sense of the word........
