There have been many sports related tv series and sports related movies made throughout the years.
1. Do you recall (every) sports related movie and/or tv series you've ever seen?
2. If so, what were they?
The following are just a few that immediately popped into my head.
I will list more as I think of them.
The White Shadow (TV Series 1978–1981)
All American (TV Series 2018– )
All American: Homecoming (TV Series 2022–2024)
Gridiron Gang (2006 Movie)
The Bad News Bears (1976 Movie)
Remember the Titans (2000 Movie)
Rudy (1993 Movie)
I've also seen:
Rocky (1976 Movie)
Rocky II (1979 Movie)
Rocky III (1982 Movie)
Rocky IV (1985 Movie)
Creed (2015 Movie)
Creed II (2018 Movie)
Creed III (2023 Movie)
@Real Music,
The only one of those I'm sure I watched is Rocky. I may have seen Rocky II, but it's not really something I have interest in.
@Real Music,
one of my favorites as a kid was
One on One (1977)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0076500/
and, of course who could forget
Slap Shot (1977)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0076723/
favorite football movie is
The Longest Yard (1974)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071771/
@Region Philbis,
1. Of the three movies you listed, I've also have seen
The Longest Yard (1974 Movie).
2. I've never seen the other two movies you listed.
@roger,
I also remember seeing the following movies
The Mighty Ducks (1992 Movie)
D2: The Mighty Ducks (1994 Movie)
D3: The Mighty Ducks (1996 Movie)
I don't particularly like sports films, the only one that springs to mind is Escape to Victory.
A group of allied POWs hatch an escape plan by playing the Germans at football.
Typical Roy of the Rovers hokum, at the end they have decide whether to escape or win the game.
Bodyline is an Australian series about the controversial Ashes tour in the 30s where English bowlers aimed at the Australian batsmen instead of the wicket.
@izzythepush,
yup, the one where Sly Stallone plays goalie...
Victory (1981)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083284/

I've also seen these two basketball movies:

@Ragman,
That should have been, “Fear Strikes Out”.
1. I've also seen the movie about Jackie Robinson, the first black athlete to play in Major League Baseball.

3. The movie title is '42'
