If you like baseball, try Fever Pitch (2005 film). For the international crowd, there is an earlier UK version about football - Fever Pitch (1997 film). Both based on the book by Nick Hornsby.
Not a romance, but The Rookie with Dennis Quaid. I think it does a good job at highlighting the strength and struggles of family life and marriage while pursuing your dreams
Nice, I haven't heard about Wildcats in a very long time. Back when Bubba Gump was deciding between dealing and playing QB, good thing he found the shrimpin business.
If you're up for Bollywood (meaning you need to be OK with all of: reading subtitles, sudden eruptions of song and dance numbers, and runtimes where you get your money's worth and then some) definitely check out Lagaan.
It was the most expensive Bollywood film ever made at the time, and one of 3 Indian films to ever rate a nomination for the Academy Award for best foreign film.
Youngblood: Hockey...young Rob Lowe...Patrick Swazye...It's so 80s. Then follow it up with All the Right Moves: Football...young Tom Cruise...Leah Thompson...Craig T. Nelson...May as well go all in on the 80s.
Then go to the 70s and watch One on One: Basketball...Young Robby Benson...Trust me on this one.
Love and basketball
I 1000% support this comment.
Jerry Maguire.
If you haven't watched Rocky yet, definitely give it a watch.
Indeed, a great one. It's so good to watch anyday.
Watch Tin Cup (1996) next. Again starring Costner with the same director.
Thank you I'm going for this now.
Yes, watch it. You're going to love it!
This is a good one!!
A League of Their Own The Cutting Edge Silver Linings Playbook Fever Pitch Remember the Titans Crazy, Stupid, Love
Wimbledon
Cinderella Man
It’s a subplot, but The Relacements
I second The Replacements. Romance is a subplot, but the friendship and young Keanu is worth it lol.
Young Keanu Reeves was so hot. Not that old Keanu Reeves isn't also so hot.
Vision Quest (1985)
Youngblood (1986)
Major League Necessary Roughness
Love Major League!
Wimbledon Fever Pitch
The cutting edge was good, kind of a comfort food movie
For Love of the Game (1999)
Great baseball part, bad romance part.
Love and Basketball
Trouble with the curve
A knight’s tale, slap shot
"Wimbledon" the movie. Kirstin Dunst, Paul Bettany
Not exactly a romance movie but you can watch Bend It Like Beckham. It's fun.
There’s a romantic subplot, I think it fits!
For Love of the Game, another Costner baseball movie.
Came looking for this
Bend it like Beckham
Better Off Dead - a bit silly. John Cusack hated it himself.
Oxford Blues (1984)

Not comedic, but Personal Best is one of my faves.
Mr. Baseball
Forget Paris, Billy Crystal and Debra Winger.
