These aren't the greatest sports movies of all time, because I haven't personally seen all of them. I have seen most of them, but definitely not all. I will separate them by sport, because each sport presents its own degree of difficulty.
Baseball - Bad News Bears (the original with Walter Matthau)
Honorable Mentions - The Natural, The Rookie, The Sandlot
Football - Rudy
Honorable Mentions - All the Right Moves, Friday Night Lights, Varsity Blues
Hockey - Slapshot
Honorable Mention - Miracle, The Mighty Ducks
Basketball - Hoosiers
No other movie even comes close.

Hot Air Balloons
I saw a hot air balloon while I was driving around yesterday and I wondered, what is the appeal of these things? They are slow-moving, noisy, floating baskets, which have absolutely no value at all. There are many better options out there if you want to fly through the air, the faster the better. Stupid hot air balloons. They float slowly through the sky, providing no value whatsoever. The only value I can even see is if you are sightseeing, but there are many better options. So, here is my list of things to do or have fly you around if you seek above-ground thrills other than hot air balloons:
- Jet Pack
- Helicopter
- Plane
- Hang-glider
- Blimp
- Flying Saucer (you'll have to entice an alien to abduct you first, or you can just call up the US military and they can hook you up, they've been storing one at Area 51 for the last couple of decades)
- Sky-diving
- Bungee Jumping
- Rollercoasters (not actually flying, but a lot of fun)
- Base Jumping
