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.

The New York Football Giants look to win their second Super Bowl in 3 years in 09′. While the previous Super Bowl win was considered an upset but many – this years Giants will not sneak up on anyone.
Last Saturday, the greatest sporting event in the world kicked off. No, I’m not talking about any strictly American sport, nor am I talking about MMA, basketball, or baseball, cricket, or any other sporting event that immediately comes to mind.
