I love Hoosiers, also. One overlooked movie (SI.com gave it an honorable mention) is the boxing flick, "They Harder They Fall", with Humphrey Bogart as a washed up sportswriter who takes a
PR job promoting a stiff from South America (based on Primo Carnera) and Rod Steiger playing the promoter.
It's a real graphic inside view of the dirty side of the fight game. Also features real fighters Max Baer and Jersey Joe Wolcott (as a trainer).
