5 Sports Movies Anyone Can Enjoy This Summer, Even The Haters

Parkway Productions

I've never really been a big sports fan. I think watching sports on tv is the most boring thing in the world. I don't know how some of my guy friends watch sports all day long, but they do. I, however, have found these 5 sports movies super interesting and I think anyone can enjoy these films, even the haters like me.

"A League Of Their Own"

"A League Of Their Own," tells the inspiring story of an all-female baseball league that came into play during World War II.

"Like Mike"

"Like Mike" is about an orphan boy who ends up playing for the NBA, and somehow finds a family along the way.

"Stick It"

"Stick It" is a fun film about how stupid the rules of gymnastics actually are.

"The Sandlot"

"The Sandlot" is a great family tale about a group of ragtag kids who love baseball and play at the sandlot all summer.

"Whip It"

"Whip It" is one of the only movies about roller derby, a fierce sport made for fierce women.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way.
