42
Very Good 17 Points 2013

42 gives us a part of baseball history that fans and non-fans alike should see. As much as it is a decent baseball story, it is an even better story about American history. This glimpse into how Jackie Robinson made his way from a Negro league to the Brooklyn Dodgers was more complex than a simpl…

The Winning Season
OK 17 Points 2009

Drunkard has-been coach Bill is given a second chance… with the Girl’s basketball team. This, in a Hoosier town where basketball is king. The movie has a predictable formula: rocky start with girls who aren’t that in to it, tough going with ex-wife and estranged daughter, turnaround when t…

Hoop Dreams
Very Good 17 Points 1994

5 years in the lives of two inner-city Chicago Boys (William Gates and Arthur Agee), who live, breathe, and dream basketball. You could see it in their faces, for example when Arthur gets his ear-to-ear grin when he met Isaiah Thomas during his first practice at St. Joseph’s. Where Hoop Dreams …

Leatherheads
Good 17 Points 2008

I was excited to see a movie about Football’s early years, a time when professional football wasn’t taken seriously, and many teams were in danger of failing. Slapstick ruled the day, fights ended up in closer friendships, Clooney uses the period as a significant source of the comedy, and Randy N…

Undefeated
OK 17 Points 2011

Undefeated is a bit of a misnomer – the Manassas Tigers actually lost their first football game, and by hook and by crook – coach Bill Courtney took this scrappy underprivileged neighborhood team to Tennessee greatness. Bill himself narrates, so you get his story as well as his inspirational mes…

Friday Night Li...
Great 17 Points 2004

The movie that sparked the highly successful TV series did so for a reason. Immersion in to small town football drama is like no other. Let Billy Bob Thornton and cast take you away for a while in to the land of Texas gridiron.

Varsity Blues
Good 17 Points 1999

Was this the film that inspired the TV show ‘Friday Night Lights’? It could have been, except it has more humor and the drama isn’t as heavy.. In the big state of Texas, Football is king, it is the place where a winning team and its coach are revered, and not much else matters – including…

The Longest Yard
Good 17 Points 2005

Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, and Burt Reynolds (as a reprise) star in this fun prisoners v Guards football classic. Not as notable as it’s 1974 predecessor, but there is plenty of raunchy humor and brute tactics you wish your favorite team could employ from tine to time to make the film an entertain…

We Could Be King
Great 17 Points 2014

This is probably one of the best football documentaries I have seen. It blends all the best about sports movies: come from behind, face adversity, and overcome with the reality of being a true story. Immerse yourself in the world of Philly’s Martin Luther King High School Cougars. You will g…
