Invincible (2006)
Football season is off and running. One of the best NFL underdog stories involves Vince Papale and his journey to the Philadelphia Eagles. In Invincible, Mark Wahlberg plays Papale, a substitute teacher and bartender in Philadelphia during the mid-1970s. At night, Papale plays sandlot football with his friends and displays exceptional speed and ball skills.
After new coach Dick Vermeil (Greg Kinnear) is hired, he holds a public tryout for anyone who thinks they can make the team. Papale, who unexpectedly loses his teaching job, gives it a shot, and much to the surprise of his friends, receives a training camp invite. That’s only the beginning of this motivational story, as Papale inspires the entire city of Philadelphia when they need it most.

Old School (2003)
“We’re going streaking!” That quote from Will Ferrell is only one of the iconic lines uttered in the comedy Old School. After discovering his girlfriend’s infidelity, Mitch (Luke Wilson) begins his downward spiral, capped off by an awkward encounter with his high school crush at a wedding. Needing to shake things up, Mitch moves into a new house by a college campus.
Mitch’s friends, Frank (Ferrell) and Beanie (Vince Vaughn), throw a party at the new house, which becomes a huge success, especially with young people. Wanting to keep the good vibes going, the trio starts a fraternity, which puts them on the radar of the snobbish dean, Gordon Pritchard (Jeremy Piven). The saying, “They don’t make them like they used to,” applies to Old School, a raunchy R-rated comedy full of stupid fun and hilarious jokes.
