The 50 Best Sports Movies Ever

26. DodgeBall: A True Underdog Story (2004)

DodgeBall has had a lasting impact on the sports world as ESPN has taken one of fictional aspects of the movie, ESPN 8 and turned it into a reality. ESPN 8, which is known as “The Ocho” is a network dedicated to peculiar sports such as DodgeBall and in real life there is one day each year now in which ESPN brings it to life.

The movie itself is a great underdog story that pits Vince Vaughn’s gym of slobs at Average Joe’s, against the peak physical specimens from Ben Stiller’s Globo Gym in a DodgeBall tournament.
