To be even more specific:
Stock car racing = Days of Thunder
Drag racing = Heart Like a Wheel
Formula racing = Grand Prix
Street racing = The Fast and the Furious
The last one is probably what caused confusion for catfish.
There will be a movie about curling, Men With Brooms coming out. Should be funny with Leslie Nielsen in it.
Vision Quest for wrestling
Ok, I used to be a runner, and I’ve got a lot of runner friends, and they were always watching this movie about some guy, I can’t remember his name. Ran in the Olympics I think. Might have broken a record or something like that. Really young guy, and he died young. Anyone know the name of this movie?
Eonwe
There were two movies recently about Steve Prefontaine.
One was called Prefontaine and the other was Without Limits.
Somemore baseball flicks
Bang the Drum Slowly
Pride of the Yankees
and is Field of Dreams a baseball movie?
Two films for competative ballroom dancing
Strickly Ballroom (one of the funniest movies ever!)
and Shall We Dance
Plus for figure skating there are The Cutting Edge and the bringer of one of my least favorite movie songs Ice Castles.
Umm… Yeah. Just checking to see if you’re all paying attention, which, apparently, ArchiveGuy and Zebra aren’t (they both listed Ice Castles…). Speaking of not paying attention, we seem to have gotten away from the OP:
Here’s a solution to the OP:
The IMDb lists 816 TV shows & movies in the sports genre. Someone with too much time on their hands could go through all 751 movies, weeding out the documentaries, and there’s your answer. 
Uh, your point being what exactly?
I listed it first, so there. Nyah. My basic understanding with this kind of poll is that if something’s already listed, you save the space and don’t repeat previous posts, in contrast to the name-the-best-whatever poll, where you want to see multiple listings.
BMX racing – *Rad
http://us.imdb.com/Title?0091817
Eonwe, you & your running friends ought to rent The Jericho Mile. Sort of a cross between a running movie and a prison movie.
Gotcha–didn’t see you listed it first; guess that loopy Chariots of the Gods thing threw me… 
Ok so lets see we’ve got
Baseball
Hockey
Football
Soccer
Running
Skiing
Fly Fishing (does this even count as a sport?)
Auto Racing (most forms at least)
Bowling
Pool
Bobsleding
BMX
Motorcycle racing with a side car
Dancing (I’ve seen ballroom and I know there are a few on Ballet)
Figure Skating
Wrestling
Appears curling has a moving coming out
Volleyball
Cricket
Poker (well if we count fly fishing I guess this is ok)
rodeo
synchronized swimming
gymnastics
Chess
horse racing
Angling
Cockfighting (ok)
Dog Racing
Fencing
Ice Yachting
Weightlifting
Golf
Boxing
Rugby
Tennis
cycling
But we seem to be missing:
Darts (sorry Roxanne doesn’t count it had what two minutes?)
Swimming, competative
Motocross and street racing for motorcycles
Hurling
Speed Skating
I can’t think of any others off the top of my head right now though.
Yes but you didn’t mention how bad that song was and I felt a warning was necessary.
Don’t forget Sly Stallone’s Over the Top, which captured the intense comepetitivness of professional arm wrestling.
And I know I’ve seen a movie about competitive swimming, I just can’t think what it was or where I saw it.
Not sure if this falls under Competitive Swimming…but defintely Diving.
Back To School- Rodney doing the triple lindy…simply clasic
-Rufus
I just pictured Rodney’s facial expression as he pulls the sideway flip off the diving platform. Thank You.
And why is it, I got almost all the way through the thread before someone jumped on Over the Top? I thought I would make it!
Oh, and Poker certainly counts. It is on ESPN all the time. If it comes on ESPN, it counts. Thus, I nominate Bring It On for inclusion as it deals with Cheerleading. That means if anyone can think of a Spelling Bee movie, I think it should be included.
Back in the late 70’s, I think, there was a movie released in Australia called Dawn, the story of Olympic swimmer Dawn Fraser. Amazingly I can’t find it on IMDB. Will research further.
Here it is Dawn it is.
Bleah…sorry but the originator thinks football and thinks THE REPLACEMENTS in his first mind?
North Dallas Forty or nothing.
Little League Baseball
Bad News Bears
