Moneyball (2011)

Maybe action sports aren't your thing? Well there's more to sports than just the players on the field, as Bennett Miller's 2011 flick Moneyball proudly shows. Starring the ever-amicable Brad Pitt as Billy Beane, the film follows his exploits as General Manager of the Oakland Athletics. It's a fascinating look at how he built a World Series contender despite not having the unlimited resources of bigger market teams like the New York Yankees.
