One for the underdog.
This is the United States. In the United States we root for the underdog. At a grass-roots level, we All are the underdog. Underdog to our neighbors, wealthy relatives, companies that employ us, the guy/gal dating our ex, etc. We root for the RedSox over the Yankees, the Cubs for the Pennant, The Raiders for the Superbowl, even the beloved Padres(yeah, that's mine). For that, movies like Rocky, Rudy, Hoosiers, Mystery Alaska, Miracle, Victory, even Major League, are our rally films.

your argument started out good, but your examples didn't mesh with your movie choices. underdogs in the world, but all of your films were sports related. aside from rudy, sports films blow. and i only like rudy cause it makes me cry like a 12 year old girl whose dog was just swiped by a mack. i'm sick of sensitive movies with russell crowe in them. put him in a film where he plays an ass like he is in real life and maybe i'll consider it. or a serial killer.
typical hollywood movie
just because it's true doesn't mean it needs to be told or will be worthwhile. i just choose not to be one of the easily swayed by a sappy 'true life' story. there's plenty out there to choose from, just don't be so mainstream.
