Sean Astin (a.k.a. hobbit Samwise Gamgee in The Lord of the Rings movies) stars as an unlikely wannabe football player named Daniel "Rudy" Ruettiger who ends up getting a walk-on shot at Notre Dame. It's the best kind of feel-good film—one that'll teach your kids to follow their dreams.

Sure the original's a classic, but most parents will find it too edgy for the kids. Good news: The 2005 remake is equally awesome and more politically correct. It stars Billy Bob Thornton as a washed-up former minor leaguer coaching the worst group of players in Little League. Warning: Potty-mouthed kids still earn this film a PG-13 rating.

This engaging Brit-flick is all about girl power! Jess Bhamra dreams of being a soccer star like her idol, David Beckham, but her traditional Indian family refuses to let her play. With the help of her new friend Juliet (Keira Knightley), she secretly joins a girls' team and discovers how good she really is. It'd be worth watching even without archival appearances by Becks himself.

When shy 12-year-old Josh meets Buddy, a runaway golden retriever who's great at basketball, the pooch helps Josh make the school team. But Buddy's ability sparks a media frenzy, bringing his original owner back to claim him. This dog-meets-ball film inspired several sequels, with Buddy trying his paws at other pet-friendly sports. Crazy, but cute!
