I can't pick a top 5, and I agree with all of yours, but a few others in no particular order that may also make my list...also, not sure how you are interpreting "sports movies"....but I am listing movies whose central theme revolve around a specific sport....not just a traditional movie that follows a team, a la Remember the Titans....
Breaking Away
The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh (campy, but classic....even NBA players dig it)
The Natural
Slap Shot
Caddyshack
The Hustler
North Shore
Searching for Bobby Fischer
One that does NOT make my list is Chariots of Fire. With the exception of the courtyard race scene, too boring. Sorry, Vangelis!
Also, never saw $1,000,000 Baby, but heard it was very good.
