With “King Richard” coming soon, here’s a look at the best sports biopics going all the way back to 1980: The film, which stars Will Smith, Saniyya Sidney and Demi Singleton, looks at Richard Williams and his two supremely talented and determined daughters on their way to becoming tennis icons.
Serena and Venus Williams will soon be on that list, too, with “King Richard” set to premiere on Nov. These are just a handful of the transcendent athletes who have been brought to the silver screen by Oscar-winning actors and directors. When it comes to examining the lives of legendary competitors, filmmakers have given sports fans a long list of exceptional biopics. Who could forget Rocky Balboa calling for Adrian after falling to Apollo Creed at the end of “Rocky”? Or Roy Hobbs rounding the bases after smashing a home run into the lights in “The Natural”? Or a golden retriever stealing basketballs, playing time and dignity from middle schoolers on the court in “Air Bud”?Īlong with fictional tales, Hollywood has also taken some of the most memorable games, upsets and athletes in sports and turned them into motion pictures.

There are plenty of truly iconic sports movie moments.
You can’t write the script for the greatest moments in sports, but that hasn’t stopped those stories from being told on the silver screen.
