Sports Movies

Space Jam
Space Jam
  • Amazon Prime Video (Video on Demand)
  • Michael Jordan, Wayne Knight, Theresa Randle (Actors)
$14.99
Buy on Amazon

Space Jam

Michael Jordan isn’t an actor, but you have a hit when you combine him with Bugs Bunny. Space Jam is a fun and out-of-this-world story that combines basketball with the Looney Tunes, and it will be a hit with people of all ages.

The Sandlot
The Sandlot
  • Amazon Prime Video (Video on Demand)
  • Tom Guiry, Mike Vitar, Patrick Renna (Actors)
$14.99
Buy on Amazon

The Sandlot

This movie takes place in the 1960s, but it still works 60 years later. You might need a better bat to play baseball today, but in the 1960s, all you needed was a couple of friends. This is why the film has such charm even today.

  • Amazon Prime Video (Video on Demand)
  • Chadwick Boseman, Harrison Ford, T.R. Knight (Actors)
$14.99
Buy on Amazon

42

Starring the late Chadwick Boseman, 42 tells the story of Jackie Robinson. Robinson was the first black athlete to play in the modern era of Major League Baseball, and his story is full of hate and discrimination. It might not be the most suitable for younger kids, but it’s still an important story that the filmmakers had to tell.

King Richard
King Richard
  • Amazon Prime Video (Video on Demand)
  • Will Smith, Aunjanue Ellis, Jon Bernthal (Actors)
$3.79

King Richard

King Richard tells the story of Richard Williams—the father of tennis pros Serena and Venus Williams—as he helps them gain recognition for their skill. It can be tough to watch at times, but everyone should see Will Smith’s performance as Richard.

A-League of Their Own

A-League of Their Own is an older film by today’s standards. The story takes place in the 1940s, but it’s still so resonant today. It fictionalizes the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League, and the performances of Tom Hanks, Geena Davis, and Madonna are incredibly fun to watch.

I, Tonya
I, Tonya
  • Amazon Prime Video (Video on Demand)
  • Margot Robbie, Sebastian Stan, Julianne Nicholson (Actors)
$14.99
Buy on Amazon

I, Tonya

This sports-comedy film is for older kids, and it’s a funny sports movie that is still incredibly tragic. It follows the life of Tonya Harding and her connection to the attack on Nancy Kerrigan. You will laugh, cry, and come away from the film understanding Harding a little better.
