Rotten Tomatoes, Metacritic — there’s no shortage of movie review sites on the internet. However, a new site, Cinesift is helping to determine the universal greatest movies of all time.

James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
It takes reviews from Metacritic, Rotten Tomatoes, IMDB, Letterboxd, and user reviews to compile true, fair, universal “Best of” lists. Now we can finally settle an age old argument about which sports movies are the best.

- Raging Bull
- Creed
- The Wrestler
- Million Dollar Baby
- Moneyball
- The Fighter
- Warrior
- Offside
- Queen of Katwe

We know people are probably pretty mad at this point that their favorite movie didn’t make the cut. Notables include: Bull Durham (No.12), Rocky (No.15), and He Got Game (No.28).
