Apart from the obvious ones (Rocky, Raging Bull, Cool Running etc.)I thoroughly enjoyed Senna and Hoop Dreams despite having never watched a grand prix or basketball. After watching both the thrilling documentaries I gave the sports another go but found them utterly tedious.

Raging Bull
Miracle (particularly good for me as I watched the men's ice hockey from Lake Placid at the time)
Eddie the Eagle (it really is good)
Senna
Moneyball
This Sporting Life (Richard Harris is brilliant & he could actually play Rugby)

Best soundtrack - Chariots of Fire

I have an irrational soft spot for Costner's 'Tin Cup'. Don't hate me.

Senna and When We Were Kings - documentaries rather than films, but both absolutely superb.

As far as actual films, Cool Runnings and Rocky III.
