Sports Movies You Have to Watch

Posted by – January 4, 2008

Sports fanatics will set everything aside to watch matches between their favorite teams.  Many will even work their schedules around games/matches.  Aside from actual games, there are sports movies that every sports enthusiast has to watch at least once.  In this post and the next, let’s take a look at some of the best sports movies.

  1. Jerry Maguire – not many people like Tom Cruise these days, but no one can deny that this movie is a good one.  Never mind “You had me at hello.”  The story about the sports agent and his football player is something that is short of inspirational.
  2. Rudy – based on a real life story of a Notre Dame football player, this movie will bring tears to your eyes – or at least make your chest feel tight.  It is very emotional and is a living testament to people’s sports dreams coming true despite many challenges.
  3. Remember the Titans – Denzel Washington coaches a high school football team during the early days of desegregation.  More than sports, it highlights social issues.

To be continued.
