A Movie Fan's List Of The Most Unforgettable Sports Films From The Past Decade

If you like movies, then chances are you like sports movies. Sports films are incredibly fun to watch, as they are often based on true stories and provide a good balance of action, suspense, letdown and joy. While Hollywood churns out sequel after sequel, we rarely get a good sports film these days. That's not to say there haven't been some great ones, however.
Without further ado, here are my favorite sports films that were released from 2000-2009.
When it comes to great movies about football from the last 2000-2009, one would be foolish not to include Disney's Remember The Titans on their list. The true story of the first racially integrated football team stars Denzel Washington and the always great Will Patton.
It is just me or do football movies often end up being the best sports movies? 2009's The Blind Side garnered serious acclaim, even getting an Oscar nominee for Best Picture of the Year. Sandra Bullock finally found the role that won her the Academy Award for Best Actress, and she deserved it.
As is often the case with sports films, Miracle is a movie that is based on an event that meant so much more than just a game. The USA vs USSR hockey game that this film is based on gave Americans all over the world hope in one of the most incredible Olympic moments in history.
A boxing film that I thoroughly enjoyed, which I did not think would be possible, was Rocky Balboa. Stallone returns to the role that got him his own statue in the city of Philadelphia, and this film was more than enjoyable. This was Rocky at his best.
Another boxing film that is a great watch is Cinderella Man. Directed by Ron Howard and starring Russell Crowe and Rene Zelwegger, this film had Oscar potential written all over it. Unfortunately that was not the case, but this film, based on the boxer Jim Braddock is awesome.
On a more comedic note, I really enjoyed Semi-Pro with Will Ferrell! If you are looking for a comedic sports movie to watch, it fits the bill.
