    I could list a hundred sports movies that I'll stop and watch if they happen to be on, but I don't know that I could ever settle on one as "the greatest".

    Does "The Princess Bride" count?

    These were the two that immediately came to my mind.
    This is probably the best documentary. Unless you could say The Last Dance? I liked that one a lot.
