80s underdog/sport movies

[glidedrxlr22]

Karate Kid is in a class all its own, but here's some others some of you older ISHers might remember. I'm calling it 80s but one is from 1979 and another from 1990. The 90s was more about the kids underdog movies like Mighty Ducks.

You'll recognize some famous people in early roles.

Breaking Away (cycling):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HL3U44It_No

Thrasin' (skateboarding):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiFW3CeFuxQ

RAD (BMX):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MCgFYzbom0

North Shore (surfing):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yUUI1PRQr4

Hotshot (soccer):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZeaAwQws33s

Side Out (beach volleyball):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CLRhxzpOTE

Any other ones I'm missing?

[Stephonit]

Gung Ho (car manufacturing)

...well it is from the 80s :D

From the 90s but maybe more pertinent would be

Rudy (American football)

Maybe also fitting the bill

Bull Durham (baseball)

and then I guess you can include Field of Dreams, A League of Their Own, and The Natural.

The ones I mentioned are cheesy and corny at times. These baseball movies you mentioned have a quality factor to them and good reviews to boot.

Breaking away isn’t cheesy and got great reviews I’m pretty sure.
