I changed this quiz to feature a pair of movies instead of just one and to add the yellow box.

Neither Rudy nor Friday Night Lights was about the NFL.

In fairness, I'm not sure Balls of Fury counts as a movie.

I thought ping pong first. Maybe because I was a pretty good runner, but great ping pong entrances me.

Only pair where I hadn't heard of either movie was "Match Point | Battle of the Sexes", and the titles made it fairly obvious.

If I hadn't followed the Riggs/King story way back when I wouldn't have gotten it.

Yes, but are ping pong and table tennis really the same thing?

They were until 2011 according to my google search. Now there are apparently some (minor) differences.

What are they then? New rules or versions were made up?

@Sifhraven

Table Tennis is the Olympic sport, with rubber paddles and fast gameplay and a lot of spin.

Ping Pong is just a game, with sandpaper paddles and a slow pace.

When I saw this quiz, my first thought was Top Gun / beach volleyball. There must be a second movie that depicts volleyball, but I can't think of one yet.

There was one with C Thomas Howell the blonde guy from thirtysomething and I think Courtney Thorne Smith called Sideout from the late 80s. It was in the HBO regular rotation the summer I broke my femur when I was 14 so I watched it more times than I remember. Had a lot of the pro volleyball players from the time like Sinjin Smith, Randy Stoklas and Steve Timmons.

Still waiting for a movie about buzkashi. A gold mine just waiting to be struck.

(If you've never heard of it, you have no idea what you are missing. There is a 2-minute video on YouTube that gives possibly the most perfect explanation of the game. You'll never look at goats the same way again.)

I know "pool" is shorter, but I tried billiards and it didn't work. Seems a little odd.

Off the top of my head there's probably only "Fire in Babylon" that non cricket fans might have heard of. Maybe "Lagaan", it's a big maybe though.

It's in other films, but I doubt cricket is anyone's first thought when they hear something like "Bend if Like Beckham", although it's a major sub-plot.

There's also apparently an Indian film called "Victory" about cricket, which technically makes it one of the answers here.

Easy, got them all! You could probably come up with some good ideas for swimming and gymnastics, too.

So annoyed I didn’t get Chariots of Fire, great film, but didn’t try running. I tried track, athletics, racing, 400m, 200m, 100m. Should have gone simple. Good quiz tho :-)

It should take Motor Racing also. Auto racing isn't exactly how it's called in Europe.
