Ten Sports Movies to Get You Motivated!
I had so much fun when I asked you guys about your favorite motivational sports movies. Better yet, I got a lot of great ideas for new films to watch, as well as some forgotten favorites. If you're looking for a little motivation, look no further than these 10 sports-centric movies.
Speak Up: What Sports Movie Motivates You Most?
While I was getting all choked up about A League of Their Own, I started thinking about how motivating a great sports movie can be. Whether it's a weepy figure-skating story (Ice Castles, anyone?) or a classic baseball flick like Field of Dreams, sports movies can be emotionally riveting and highly entertaining. So speak up and tell me: Which sports-centric film motivates you the most?
Get Motivated: Remembering Pitcher Dottie Collins
A League of Their Own always makes me teary-eyed. Not only is it a funny, bittersweet, and touching sports movie, but the true story behind it — of the short-lived All-American Girls Professional Baseball League — is incredibly inspirational. Even watching the fictional movie, I'm always moved by the idea of so many talented female athletes playing together and capturing the nation's imagination during a difficult time.

The Blind Side: An Unexpected Delight
It's not that the trailer for The Blind Side isn't compelling; the problem is that it combines Sandra Bullock's twangiest, most-over-the top lines with a heartrending song, which makes it seem schlocky. That's exactly what I expected from the movie, but I have to admit that I was wrong — to my surprise, I found it to be a sentimental gem that's actually quite restrained.
The Blind Side is the true story (based on Michael Lewis's book) of NFL player Michael Oher, who grew up in Memphis's projects with his drug-addicted mother and landed in and out of foster homes.
Are You a Twilight Momiac?
Mamas are taking a big bite out of the Twilight pandemonium. When the vampire tales first hit book shelves, it started a cult following. Teens and young adults gobbled them up and, apparently, so have their mothers.
Cameron Premieres Her Box and Opens Up About Life
Cameron Diaz and James Marsden hit the red carpet together in NYC last night at the premiere of their movie The Box. It hits theaters this weekend, though the buzz has been pretty quiet for the scary looking film with its chic '70s interiors. Cameron has been busy up in Boston filming Knight and Day with Tom Cruise, but she took a break to talk to Parade about her new film.
Drew, Kate and Robert Are Red Carpet Ready and Doing Fine
Robert De Niro had costars Drew Barrymore and Kate Beckinsale by his side last night at the LA premiere of Everybody's Fine. Drew coordinated her bright red lips with a purple dress from the Victoria Beckham Collection, which Posh has even sported herself. Kate, meanwhile, showed off her sexy status in a short dress and high heels.
J Lo Chows Down on a Slice Between Her Diva Poses
Jennifer Lopez was in a mini dress on Monday for a photo shoot in LA, where between takes she sported mismatched shoes and snacked on pizza. She has lots of posing and promotional work in her future, as she gears up for the release of her new album coming in January and movie The Break-Up Plan shortly after in March. Come Sunday, however, Jennifer may be back in Miami to be with Marc and cheer on his Dolphins when they host Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen and play the Patriots.
Jim and Jenny Bring an Early Christmas to NYC
Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy smiled and waved in NYC on Friday as the Christmas Carol train tour pulled into Grand Central Station. Jim was soon off to film an appearance on Good Morning America, as he begins promoting his holiday movie before its release next Friday. He's still rocking the beard we saw him sporting earlier this month, and it might come in handy for Jim as he heads into Winter.
Ed, Taylor and Penn Take a Break, While Chace Keeps Moving
Did you watch Gossip Girl last night? I'm avidly watching the third season of the show at the moment, and the cast are still busy in New York filming further episodes. Yesterday Penn was caught by autograph hunters as he took a break, while Taylor sported her shades to check on her phone — her legs seem to get longer in every picture!
