Sport a love of movies this April

Sports movies touch the hearts and souls of the audience in ways that so many other films cannot. One of the great things about sports movies is that they appeal to such a wide audience. They might be chick flicks like Fever Pitch or Stick It, inspirational like We Are Marshall or Coach Carter, comedies like Bad News Bears and The Longest Yard, or dramas like Million Dollar Baby and Friday Night Lights.

Whether it is a tale of the team of misfits who rise to win the championship, a story about how loving the same sport can bring two people together, or the recounting of the life of some our our greatest sports legends, not much can move an audience to their feet or to tears faster than a sports story. We have hundreds of movies that follow dozens of sports--golf, track and field, baseball, hockey, football, soccer, just to name a few--and we are giving them the spotlight this month on our movie display.
