The Sticky team are, to put it mildly, massive sports fans. From chess boxing to bunny jumping, we can't get enough of it. 

We love proper sports too, nothing beat the buzz we get from watching Burst, the E-racing team we sponsor, hurtle round the virtual track.  Then there's football (the Wrexham v King's Lynn match is going to be exhilarating), plus there's darts of course, with our weekly office championship and you can't beat a heart-thumping cycle to Jolly Nice Farmshop to stock up on burgers, pretzels and ice cream.

But how is the avid sports fan to cope between live events? What about those rainy Saturday afternoons when you need your fix of sporting drama? When live coverage of the Dudley vs Cirencester bowls match isn't cutting it?

Ladies and gentlemen, we present our selection of Rainy Saturday Afternoon Sports Films.

1. The Waterboy

Starring the now omni-present Adam Sandler, the critical consensus on this college football caper is that it's "an insult to its genre with low humor and cheap gags." Low humour and cheap gags? Count us in. Plus it has Henry Winkler, who pretty much cancels out all negative critical opinion.

2. Happy Gilmore

One Adam Sandler sports film not enough? Brain in danger of sliding out of neutral? You need Happy Gilmore, the joyfully undemanding tale of a hockey-player-turned-golfer.

3. Any Given Sunday

Who could match the gravitas, the acting chops, of Adam Sandler? The only possible candidate is Al Pacino. He's on fine form here in Oliver Stone's story of loyalty, ambition, redemption and large gentlemen in crash helmets. Any Given Sunday is for any given (rainy) Saturday.

4. Bend it like Beckham

This comedy, written and directed by Gurinder Chadha, was a surprise success when it hit the screens almost 20 years ago (whaaa?) grossing over £50m at the box office.The cast is stellar including Parminder Nagra, Keira Knightley, Juliet Stevenson and Shaznay Lewis...Goal!

5. Invincible

Rounding out our rainy Saturday viewing is Invincible, the true story of a Philadelphia barman who found a place on a pro-football team. It features a bravura performance from Mark Wahlberg, looking considerably more comfortable than in his epically miscast role as a professor of Literature.

Not only are these sporting films great Saturday afternoon fodder, they're also our stepping stone to achieving the NHS guideline of taking 150 minutes of moderate exercise a week. We'll start off by watching 150 minutes of exercise and take it from there.
