The story of Michael Oher, a homeless and traumatized boy who became an All American football player and first round NFL draft pick with the help of a caring woman and her family.
Sandra Bullock
Tim McGraw
Quinton Aaron
EXCELLENT MOVIE!!!! Really worth seeing, very heartwarming and very motivating. Sandra Bullock redeemed herself in this one, after the last failure of All About Steve. A must see !!!!

Try & see the new Clint Eastwood movie Invictus.
Its about Nelson Mandela & the story of the victorious Springboks in the 1990 something World Cup, which helped re-unite the country.
I loved it.

You could try "Dear John" I haven't seen it myself but it looks to be a really sweet story. If you can't find it, let me know, I just saw where you can get it online 
A romantic drama about a soldier who falls for a conservative college student while he's home on leave
There is another one called "Everybody's Fine" haven't seen this one either, but it looks kind of cute.
A widower who realized his only connection to his family was through his wife sets off on an impromptu road trip to reunite with each of his grown children

I just watched one called "The Express".
Based on atrue story about a footballer who makes it big despite all the racism he had to endure.
It was a great movie...well, at least I think so, cos it made me get my Kleenex out ...and knowing the story was true sort of took away from the 'stereotype' sort of stuff.
