This can be any sport for either category.

Best Sports Movie
Tie
Remember the Titans
Friday Night Lights
Could not choose between the two, I think both are obviously two of the most inspirational movies regardless of genre, but also great acting and directing. Also I love sports movies that are based off of true stories.

Best Sports Comedy
Personal opinion a movie that is not widely known.
Division 3: Footbal's Finest
Came across it just looking around Netflix and loved it, the first time you watch it will stay with you for a week.

Most realistic part of FNL is on the final drive with a minute to go there were like 7 running dive over the line of scrimmage plays. True story.

Division 3 is hilarious. Andy dick at his finest

With that said, major league for best comedy.

BSM

Invictus
Bend it like Beckham

BSC

I would have said Major League but I saw it just this week & there was way too much weird love shite with Renee Russo. And WTF, nobody in Cleveland has locks on their doors?

So it's back to Caddyshack

I don't know if it's the best, but my favorite sports movie is Friday Night Lights.

Funniest... for me...Major League or White Men Can't Jump.

You guys picking the likes of Major League-you owe it to yourself to see Slap Shot. It's the Godfather II of sports comedies.

Excluding biopics (Pride of the Yankees would be a strong contender, as would the original Jackie Robinson Story):

Candidates in the non-comedy category:

Rocky

Rollerball (1975)

The Natural

Field of Dreams

Remember the Titans

Eight Men Out

Hossiers (and this is by acclamation - I have never seen it)

For comedies:

A League of Their Own

Caddyshack

Slapshot

Major League

The Longest Yard (1974)

Breaking Away

Bull Durham

If I have to pick one in each category, I go with Rocky and Caddyshack.
