The Blind Side

What else do you say about this movie other than it was just all around outstanding. The fact that it is based on the true story of professional football player Michael Oher is just icing on the cake. Sandra Bullock was wonderful as Leigh Anne Tuohy and Tim McGraw did surprisingly well as her husband. Add in Kathy Bates who is usually great and you have a wonderful movie that eveyone should see. Bullock's Oscar for best actress was rightfully given.

Long Shots

Ice Cube stars in this movie about the first girl to play on the Pop Warner football team who in turn gives a rundown town some hope for the future. A cute family movie.

Leatherheads

George Clooney stars in this movie about the early days of professional football. When pro football first began it was unpopular and most teams were on the verge of bankruptcy. Clooney plays Dodge Connelly, an older player who refuses to give up on the game so he hires a young star to bring the sport to life. Filled with a great cast, but not any of their best films.

The Comebacks

David Koechner plays coach Lambeau Fields a really bad coach who takes a job coaching a really bad football team. The goal is to make the team a success before he loses his family. I don't know if I just don't like these types of movies, but I thought this movie was so bad I shut it off half way through.

The Game Plan

In this movie "The Rock" plays Joe Kingman, a professional and highly loved football star whose life is turned upside down when a daughter he didn't know he had shows up on his doorstep. I thought this was a very cute family movie. The little girl steals the show.

We Are Marshall

Based on the true life events of Marshall University in West Virginia when in 1970 almost all of the University's football team and coaching staff were tragically killed in a plane crash. This movie is about the new coach whose goal was to breath life back into the community, college, and football program. A sad, but pretty good movie. I thought Matthew Fox stole the show!

Facing the Giants

This is a movie about a down and out football team who looks to God to help inspire them to victory. The acting in this movie is really bad, but the moral of the story is really a good one. If you are looking for a clean movie with a strong focus on religion, then I think you will like this.

Gridiron Gang

Based on a true story, "The Rock" plays Sean Porter a juvenile detention counselor who is frustrated because the majority of the kids he is trying to help leave and turn right back to a life of crime. To try and make a difference he starts a football team to teach them pride, teamwork, and determination. An inspirational movie that everyone should watch!
