We Are Marshall.

We Are Marshall is arguably one of my favorite football movies with the exception of The Blind Side. I especially like this movie for the following reasons; how undeniably a horrific event for the victims' families friends, colleagues as well as for the entire community. But the movie seems to almost exploit this tragedy so it can make audiences weep, and ultimately, cheer. But also, that allows We Are Marshall to stand above many of the other 2006 sports movies is both the undeniable power of the story itself. The last reason why I love this movie more than other sports movies that were released in the past is that, there is a lot of genuine emotion in this movie, and wide-ranging ones at that. There's the shock of loss, the struggle in moving forward, the fear of failure and the joy of putting one's passion into a good cause, regardless of the results.
