The thing about sports movies is that you don't even have to care a lick about the sport to like them if they're done well enough. I find baseball interminably dull but love a lot of baseball movies. I can't stand pro wrestling -- starting with the fact that it's not even a sport -- but you'd have to have your face planted in the mat not to recognize the greatness of "The Wrestler." Ditto for boxing, basketball, hockey, car racing -- it's the human element that makes it sings, not what happens on the playing field.
