Looks like you're right about the Wimbledon movie but Top Gun just had one scene of volleyball. It wasn't about volleyball.

Tennis and volleyball have been. Volleyball there was a film called "Side out"

Badminton? Is that even a sport? LOL

What they really need is a movie about a gymnast who must learn to integrate martial arts into his routine in order to win a site for a missile defense system for his country.

Oh, wait...

Baseketball is the best sports movie EVER.

You'll need to think of really fringe sports. Jai alai and badminton have been mentioned, they seen reasonable. Add in croquet, hurling, luge, etc and you'll get plenty.

Billiards was covered in "The Color of money", and there was a more recent pool movie out.

Diving (swimming) was covered in "Back to School"

Arm Wrestling was in "Over the Top"

I don't think any movie covered Smear the Queer yet.

he played ping pong, not badminton, didn't he? or was the badminton just something that was mentioned? and really, the movie wasn't about him playing ping pong, so probablyunitl balls of fury, there wasn't a ping pong movie.
