The offbeat Michael Oher is little too giant for the fellow players but justifies his role into making it grand in the world of Rugby. The 2009 major hit is an inspiration of how right guidance takes you straight into Hall of Fame.
Moneyball

The movie also stars Keira Knightley, local team player and supported for Jesminder Bjamra.

A film on Olympic ice skating and an absurd pairing of Will Ferrell with a teammate of Napolean Dynamite Jon Header will not give your laughing bones rest.
The longest Yard
It was a remake of the original version featuring Burt Reynolds and once again Adam Sandler tried his hands at sports comedy. A classic and its remake, it is usually the remake that doesn’t see the greater lights.
Adam Sandler wasn’t at best of his role but did conquer some audience with pro-wrestlers and boxing champion cast. A not up to the mark comedy but still reigns to be one of the most watched sports sagas.
The Fighter
It is another story driven by facades of not the lead character but his crazy family. An infamous and small time Boxer makes it big to the hall of fame and the climb to becoming a boxing macho is incredible.
The climb includes incredible roleplay by the leads hot-headed former boxing brother Christian Bale, mother Melissa Leo and the screen famous boxer himself, Mark Wahlberg. It is a story seen and heard by all but the characters gave freshness to the old story.
Green Street Hooligans
