My favorite sports related movie is a tough choice because there are so many greats one i love, but i would have to chose the fighter starring mark wahlburg and Christian bale.

This movie consists of two brothers, in a large family full of sisters, and one brother is a washed up boxer who nearly made it big but got himself caught up with drugs. He was so good that he knocked down sugar ray Leonard in one of his fights. his younger brother, aspiring to be as good and better than his older brother, has to deal with his brothers drug issues, as his brother was his trainer, and his crazy family where everyone wants to be apart of his success.

This movie deals with poverty stricken areas and how drugs and crack houses are prevalent. It focuses on the struggles many families go through when money is an issue. Drugs are something that hits close to home with me as i saw my brother become severely effected by them and seen his life change because of his drug use.
