Sports movies of the 80's
Here's a list I've come up with of sports movies from the 80's (and a few from the late 70's & early 90's). If you can think of a sport, chances are there's been a movie for it. I know I'm missing a few, so feel free to add your suggestions! (Trying to keep it between '76-'94, since many of those still had an 80's feel to them)
