My favorite movie of all time is We Are Marshall. It’s about the aftermath of a plane crash that killed all the Thundering Herd football team in 1970. After the tragedy, president of the athletic program, Donald Dedmon leaned forward to indefinitely suspending the football program, but was persuaded to reconsider by the Marshall students and fans. Dedmon hires a new young coach, Jack Lengyal to take over and rebuild the team in a short amount of time. He had a new team of 18 returning players and walk-on athletes from other Marshall sports programs.
This is one of the most emotional and inspirational movies I ever saw. It stars Matthew McConaughey as Jack Lengyal and David Strathairn as Donald Dedmon. I’d say its better than all the other sports movies that are based on a true story.
