Rocky has been named the best sports movie of all time in a new poll.

Sylvester Stallone's 1976 boxing epic scored 20% of the vote in the survey by website Lovefilm.

Cool Runnings, a 1994 comedy about the first Jamaican bobsleigh team, finished in second place, followed by Clint Eastwood's 2004 movie Million Dollar Baby.

1996 sports agent film Jerry Maguire and 1980 boxing classic Raging Bull tied for fourth.

Field Of Dreams, White Men Can't Jump, Chariots Of Fire, Escape to Victory and Caddyshack rounded out the top ten.
