THE BLIND SIDE (2009)
Race relations, homelessness, self-discovery — football is hardly the central storyline in Sandra Bullock’s tearjerker about a troubled youth who blossoms in the hands of a well-to-do family. And it seems that the something-for-everyone plotline — which had both men and women flocking to theaters last fall — certainly helped with its box-office numbers: The film hauled in more than $250 million. —Kate Ward
