Highlights
- There have been many films centered on the game of football and its near-cult status, especially in the American South.
- Football movies can be about a team, about the sport, or about the player, and they can range from dramas, to comedies, to historical/biographical stories.
- The Blindside, based on a true story, follows the journey of NFL player Michael Oher, but has since faced much controversy, with Oher claiming the film is a lie.
