#8 – The Blind Side
The Blind Side was a box office success back in 2009 when it grossed more than $300 million. Well-received by the critics, who commended Sandra Bullock’s performance (she won an Oscar for Best Actress and a Golden Raspberry Award that same year for “All About Steve” – now that’s what we call a multifaceted actress), the movie’s overall IMDb rating is 7.7. The semi-biographical film was inspired from the book “The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game” written by Michael Lewis, and it is centered on the tumultuous upbringing of Michael Oher, a real American football player for the NFL. In the photo (on the left) we also have Leigh Anne Tuohy, the adoptive mother of the famous football player.
