Rudy: In this fact-based drama about the triumph of the human spirit, scrawny high schooler Rudy Ruettiger dreams of playing football at Notre Dame. But his father can’t afford to send him, so he ends up at a college across the street instead. Undaunted, Rudy eventually transfers to Notre Dame, where he takes on duties assisting the groundskeeper and joins the school’s practice squad.
Jerry Maguire: After years of successfully navigating the shark-infested waters of sports management, Jerry Maguire experiences a crisis of conscience and leaves his high-powered job behind, with one loyal football client and a starry-eyed co-worker in tow. An irresistible little boy adds the icing on the cake to this sweet, heartfelt Best Picture nominee.

The Replacements: Maverick old-guard coach Gene Hackman is hired in the wake of a players’ strike to help the Washington Sentinels advance to the playoffs. But that impossible dream hinges on whether his replacements can hunker down and do the job.
