There’s a lot of stuff to stream nowadays. In hopes of helping you watch more good movies and TV, we compile some of the most exciting titles streaming across all platforms in our weekly column, What To Watch.
To commemorate the Super Bowl, this week, we’re recommending titles related to football:
Friday Night Lights (Netflix)
“Friday Night Lights” is one of the most beloved teen shows for a reason. It’s amazing. Set in a small rural town in Texas, the series follows a football team and their coach as they deal with many of the issues faced by Americans today.
The Blind Side (Prime Video)
Earning Sandra Bullock her first Oscar, “The Blind Side” follows the story of Michael Oher, an impoverished football player who manages to achieve NFL fame thanks to a family who took him in.
Remember the Titans (Prime Video)
“Remember the Titans” is one of the most famous sports movies ever made, practically mandatory viewing for anyone who went to school during the early aughts. It follows a football coach played by Denzel Washington who attempts to integrate the students of a football team.
The Longest Yard (Peacock)
“The Longest Yard” is actually a remake of a movie from the 70s, but that movie doesn’t star Adam Sandler. The story follows a washed-up football player who ends up in prison and assembles a football team against the guards. It’s silly, hilarious, and peak Sandler.
Varsity Blues (Paramount+)
Released in 1999 and starring a stacked cast that includes Ali Larter, Paul Walker, Jon Voight, James Van Der Beek, and more, the film follows a high school football team through a tumultuous season
Jerry Maguire (Paramount+)
“Jerry Maguire” might be Tom Cruise‘s best film. It’s also his most accessible, following a sports agent forced to restart his whole career.
The Super Bowl
Lastly, The Super Bowl is this Sunday! The game will air on Fox at 6:30 PM. Here’s how you can watch it for free if you don’t have cable.
