Hundreds of thousands of movies have seen nationwide releases in the history of cinema. At least a fifth of them should've never been made. Speed 2 should've never happened, nor Baby Geniuses 2. And if the zero percent score on Rotten Tomatoes is any indicator, Paul Blart 2 should definitely have never been made. Sequels are a hazardous business.

To be fair, most sports movies suck. We get it: The story of the underdog overcoming the odds is corny Americana. Real life ain't like that, and that narrative gets boring. Some sports movies do break that mold, though. Take Raging Bull's visceral look at masculinity, for instance.

We're not talking about Raging Bull, though. We're looking at movies that deserve sequels—the ones that need an update. Give the 10 Sports Movies That Deserve Sequels a look and hope at least five of them get greenlit.
