Baseball Films
This list of sports films is a compilation of films in the genre covering sports activities. Sports movies have been made since the era of silent films, such as the 1915 film The Champion starring Charlie Chaplin.

Men often identify with sports films in ways they wouldn't with other genres, such as spy films.
