Rocky? Rocky 2-4? Slap Shot (1977) is fantastic.
For basketball I’d say Hoosiers (1986) is good. For American Football? Jerry Maguire (1996).

OWNS. OWNS.
You already named my favorite sports movie: Slap Shot.
The Wrestler is my other pick that I haven’t seen yet in this thread
Dodgeball - a true underdog story
Warrior for MMA. It’s a bit of a guilty pleasure because it hits all of my traditional masculine buttons. Redemption, making dad proud, making wife proud, showing your brother you actually love him, fist fights, etc.
Miracle - hockey Senna - F1 Faster (series) - MotoGP
Moneyball
Space Jam.
Goon and Goon 2
Moneyball
Live action: Major League 2 had a streak of getting played on TV, so it’s probably the one I’ve seen bits of the most, followed by Rudy for the same reason.
Animated: Cars.
I don’t watch most of these sports but watched most of these movies a ton as a kid:
the rookie - baseball
the air up there - basketball
caddyshack - golf
kingpin - bowling (the big Lebowski is my favorite movie of all time, but I don’t really consider it a “bowling” movie)
the wizard - competitive gaming
cool runnings - bobsledding
the big green - soccer
