13. The Game of Their Lives (2005)

The essence of football as a team sport

Based on a 1950 football match between USA and England in Brazil , this movie tells a tale of an underdog team who steals the show against all odds. Starring Gerard Butler as the goalkeeper for the American football team who is also the man who brings the whole team together.

This movie shows the struggles of 11 men who have nothing but passion to embark on a road never before travelled by an American. Although the American team won no title but they managed to beat England 1-0. This is a story of passion and how these footballers break family traditions to pursue their passion for the game.

A lot of attention was given to each and every detail while making the movie. It captures the mood of a period drama. What makes it different from any other underdog movie is it celebrates the sport as a team event and doesn’t make it about an individual’s struggle for glory.
