There’s going to be wall-to-wall coverage of the 2026 Super Bowl on Sunday, February 8. But if you need a break from real football, then you may want to check out a football movie.

A handful of truly spectacular football movies have been made by Hollywood, most of them without the NFL’s input.

Watch With Us has narrowed the list down to three great football movies to watch this Super Bowl weekend.

Each of our picks takes a different approach to telling the story of the game and the people who love it with all of their hearts.

The excitement for the Super Bowl LX 2026 is hitting a fever pitch after three new pre-show performers were announced. In December 2025, the NFL announced that Charlie Puth will be singing the national anthem ahead of the game, while Brandi Carlile will perform “America the Beautiful.” Coco Jones is also set to sing a […]

‘Any Given Sunday’ (1999)

Any Given Sunday probably isn’t high on the NFL’s favorite football movies because it presents a much harsher view of the game and its business than the league does. Director and co-writer Oliver Stone cast Al Pacino in the lead as Tony D’Amato, the head coach of the Miami Sharks, who can feel the new owner of the team, Christina Pagniacci (Cameron Diaz), pushing him out the door after three decades.

When Sharks quarterback Jack “Cap” Rooney (Dennis Quaid) is sidelined with an injury, third-string quarterback Willie “Steamin” Beamen (Jamie Foxx) is given a chance to revitalize his career and lead the team into the playoffs. However, Willie is such a selfish player that his antics may cost the team and Coach Rooney their last chance to make an impact together.

Any Given Sunday is available to rent or buy on Prime Video.

‘Draft Day’ (2014)

Unlike Any Given Sunday, Draft Day had the full cooperation of the NFL, and it’s the final movie directed by Ghostbusters helmer Ivan Reitman. Kevin Costner leads the cast as Sonny Weaver Jr., the Cleveland Browns’ general manager. Sonny’s personal life is messy, as he fired his father from the Browns for health reasons, and he’s secretly dating Ali Parker (Jennifer Garner), another employee of the team.

The pressure on Sonny escalates on draft day when the Browns land the No. 1 pick. For most of the NFL, college player Bo Callahan (Josh Pence) is the presumed choice to be picked first. But the more Sonny learns about Bo, the more he agonizes over the decision. If he gets this pick wrong, it may spell the end of his career in Cleveland. And the clock is ticking for Sonny to make his call.

Draft Day is streaming on Prime Video.

‘Rudy’ (1993)

Here’s some trivia about the movie Rudy: NFL legend Joe Montana was a part of the football team at Notre Dame when Daniel “Rudy” Ruettiger attended his last game in 1975. Montana isn’t a fan of the way Rudy made dramatic changes to that moment, but sports fans have embraced the legend, and the film is widely hailed as one of the greatest football movies ever made.

Sean Astin leads the cast as Rudy, a young man who seems destined to follow in his family’s footsteps in a dead-end factory job. It takes the death of his best friend to inspire Rudy to follow his dream of going to college and finding a place among Notre Dame’s football team. Who cares if the film isn’t strictly accurate about everything that brought Rudy to the point of getting on the field for the Fighting Irish? It’s an inspiring movie that never seems to get old.

Rudy is available to rent or buy on Prime Video.

Netflix’s Finding Her Edge is returning for a second season — so who is and isn’t returning after a divisive ending involving the central love triangle?

Based on Jennifer Iacopelli‘s novel of the same name, Finding Her Edge is a YA romance about a figure skater whose family’s legacy and rink is in jeopardy. She has to pretend to be in a fake relationship with her new partner for sponsorships while still working through feelings for her old partner.

The hit series premiered in January 2026 as viewers tuned in to see Adriana’s (Madelyn Keys) growing connection with Brayden (Cale Ambrozic) — and Freddie (Olly Atkins). The eight-episode series ended with Adriana and Brayden competing against Freddie and Riley (Millie Davis) at the World Championships.

Adriana and Brayden were the winners with a score of 98.36 — but things quickly fell apart after that. After Adriana chose to get back together with Freddie after faking a romance with Brayden, many fans were frustrated. Season 2 will follow the aftermath — including Brayden partnering with Riley following his falling out with Adriana.

In addition to the main trio, Finding Her Edge also stars Alexandra Beaton, Alice Malakhov, Niko Ceci and Harmon Walsh. Canadian figure skating champions Piper Gilles and Paul Poirier appeared as themselves in an episode while British figure skating champions Lilah Fear and Lewis Gibson voiced TV commentators on the show.

We’re taking a page from Jennifer Lopez’s comfortable yet stylish book. Straying from her usual body-hugging designs, the megastar recently showed Us why a cable-knit sweater is a wardrobe essential every woman needs. No matter your age, the cozy style pairs so well with all sorts of bottoms that you’ll find yourself wearing it more than you thought.

Lopez’s exact winter-approved pick is a cashmere knit from Brunello Cucinelli. With a $4,245 price tag, it’s not exactly a practical purchase, but luckily, the style is classic enough that it was easy to find a lookalike on Amazon. The Okiwam Cable-Knit Sweater is a smart transitional piece we look forward to wearing even as we (eventually) welcome warm spring weather.

Get Okiwam Cable-Knit Sweater for $41 at Amazon! Please note, prices are accurate as of the publishing date but are subject to change. 

The Okiwam sweater makes it easy to copy Lopez’s winter white look since it comes in beige, white and true white. However, the same piece is also available in 14 other shades if you want to add a pop to your closet. With a cozy, relaxed fit, the knit is exactly what we want when we’re dressing for the cold: no fuss, but plenty of style.

From blistering winds to inches of snow and ice, unpredictable winter weather can put a monkey wrench in your daily plans. Instead of spending additional time searching for weather-friendly styles, we suggest relying on luxe-looking white sweaters. With unbelievably soft fabrics and relaxed silhouettes, these cute, comfy pullovers will make you look like a million […]

What made Lopez’s sweater stick out was how she decided to wear it. Sure, you can team it with a pair of jeans or trousers, but we like how the singer threw the piece over a brown and white polka-dot dress — an unexpected move that offers a cool layering idea. Don’t be afraid to play around with how you wear your cable-knit, too!

One thing Amazon shoppers love about the Okiwam Cable-Knit Sweater is that it offers the ideal oversized fit without being too baggy. Plus, the piece is actually soft and doesn’t feel itchy.

“I ordered several oversized sweaters for a mountain trip, and this was one of my favorites,” one five-star reviewer wrote. “It’s baggy yet flattering in the right places. Comfortable, soft and looks more high-end than the price tag.”

“I love this sweater! It is great for a layered, casual look,” another happy shopper shared. “The material is thick, and it is perfectly oversized. I ordered my normal size (medium) and it still looks nicely oversized without drowning in it.”

It’s not difficult to find a cable-knit sweater, but to find a cable-knit sweater that gives Lopez-worthy vibes for under $50? Now that’s a true must-have!

Editor’s note: The below contains spoilers for the Fallout Season 2 finale.

There are many twists in the Season 2 finale of Fallout, “The Strip,” but none is more surprising than Hank MacLean (Kyle MacLachlan) and Steph Harper (Annabel O’Hagan) being married. This particular bomb is initially dropped in a flashback to before the actual bombs are dropped, as the characters meet and get married in Las Vegas after Cooper Howard (Walton Goggins) inadvertently sets them up during his investigation into Vault-Tec and cold fusion. Once the cat is out of the bag, however, all the pieces of the Hank/Steph puzzle suddenly come together, which, according to Fallout showrunner Geneva Robertson-Dworet, was the intention all along.

‘Fallout’ Showrunner Geneva Robertson-Dworet Explains That Hank/Steph Reveal

Image via Prime Video

Halfway through Season 1, some details are revealed about Hank, Steph, and other older residents of Vault 33, like the fact that they secretly come from Vault 31. By the end of that season, we learn that these people were actually Bud’s Buds before the war, and as of Season 2, Hank and Steph’s ties are revealed to go even further back. Robertson-Dworet tells Collider they “were always excited to play with that” idea upon realizing that “Hank and Steph would have actually gone into cryo when the bombs dropped as young people, roughly the same age, in their 20s or early 30s.”

From then on, Hank and Steph’s arc begins to unfold, although not quite as star-crossed lovers, with Robertson-Dworet raising the question: “Wouldn’t that maybe be interesting if they’d had some sort of past together?” That’s what we’d expect, since everyone at Vault 31 was part of Bud Askins‘ (Michael Esper) management development program, and, naturally, relationships form in such contexts.

MacLachlan and O’Hagan themselves may not have been in on it from the beginning, but they enjoyed the twist, as they revealed in a separate Collider interview. “It’s such a treat and so delightful to be surprised as the actor when you get a script,” O’Hagan said. “I think we both were like, ‘Oh, this was another spin on these characters,’” added MacLachlan, highlighting also the “backstory, where they came from, and how much influence they had on each other.”

‘Fallout’ Has Been Teasing the Truth About Hank and Steph’s Relationship Since Season 1

The notion of Hank and Steph being married may feel weird at first, given their apparent age gap, but that’s due to how long they were kept in cryosleep. As Robertson-Dworet mentions, they were around the same age in the past, but there’s more than 20 years between their reawakening in the Vaults, as revealed in Season 1, making Hank biologically older in the series’ present timeline. The current status of their marriage is unclear, but everything that happened in their 200-year slumber and afterward concerning them actually makes sense when put into perspective.

A source of confusion may be the fact that Hank was married to Rose MacLean (Elle Vertes) and has two children, Lucy (Ella Purnell) and Norm (Moisés Arias). Rose and Steph never meet, however, as Hank leaves Rose for dead in Shady Sands, nuking the city shortly after. By the time Steph is reawakened, she and Lucy are the same biological age, and Hank is a widower. Shortly after, Steph marries Bert (Diego Borborema), who dies in the series premiere and is supposedly the father of her child. Steph mentions Bert’s “lack of stamina” in bed, though, which now leads us to wonder if her child might actually be Hank’s.

The MacLean family ties also become entangled with the reveal. Steph and Lucy are best friends at the beginning of Fallout Season 1, but it turns out that she is actually Lucy’s stepmother. Steph also hurries to marry Chet (Dave Register) in Season 2, who is Lucy’s cousin (probably on her mother’s side), and Steph’s child could very well be Lucy’s half-brother. Suddenly, the whole in-breeding plot of Season 2 just got a whole new layer.

Hank and Steph Are Destined for a Reunion in ‘Fallout’ Season 3

Another great twist in the Season 2 finale is the reveal that both Hank and Steph are also working for the Enclave, the secretive faction that is being set up as the great villains in the series. Although it isn’t clear when exactly they started working for the Enclave, their present-day actions are still tied to the faction, between Hank developing the mind-control chip in New Vegas and Steph triggering a mysterious “Phase 2,” which is likely tied to what Norm discovers about F.E.V., a biological weapon tied to the Enclave in the games.

With all that going on, Hank and Steph are bound to reunite eventually. The Enclave is now aware that both of them are operational, even if Steph is more focused on her own survival for the moment. Still, when saying his goodbyes to Lucy, Hank lets it slip that Steph may know too much about their mission, which makes her a target, too. The big question now is when and where this reunion could happen, with Hank’s memory seemingly erased and Steph trapped in Vault 32. Hopefully, Fallout Season 3 brings more answers.

HBO Max has so many critically acclaimed movies in February that some of the newly arrived films are bound to get lost in the shuffle.

A low Rotten Tomatoes score doesn’t mean a film can’t be entertaining or worthwhile.

That’s why Watch With Us has brought together three underrated HBO Max movies you should watch in February 2026.

Our picks include a sports romance, a cult classic comedy and a supernatural horror thriller starring a Gladiator actor

HBO Max is playing it lowkey in February — there’s no gay hockey dramas for people to obsess over or Game of Thrones spinoffs for fans to nitpick to death. Instead, the Warner Bros Discovery streamer offers an eclectic lineup of high-quality classics and new content that spotlights movies and shows you’d normally overlook. At […]

‘Love & Basketball’ (2000)

Love & Basketball is an aptly named movie because the passion that Quincy McCall (Omar Epps) and Monica Wright (Sanaa Lathan) have for the game is what brings them together in the first place. It’s also their shared passion that may drive them apart when their fortunes in the sport go off in different directions.

Writer and director Gina Prince-Bythewood structures this film like a four-quarter basketball game. The first quarter chronicles the way that Quincy and Monica meet as children, while the remaining quarters follow them through high school, college and into pro sports. There’s definitely a strong bond of love between Quincy and Monica that takes shape over the years, but it just may not be enough to make them last as a couple.

Love & Basketball is streaming on HBO Max.

‘MacGruber’ (2010)

Saturday Night Live spinoff movies are becoming an endangered species in cinemas, largely because most of them can’t sustain their comedic momentum for the length of a film. MacGruber stands out from the pack because Will Forte‘s title character is a hilariously inept and unlikable action hero who was inspired by Richard Dean Anderson‘s MacGyver TV series from the ’80s.

For the feature film, the late Val Kilmer portrays MacGruber’s personal nemesis, Dieter Von Cunth. To defeat Dieter, MacGruber will need to assemble a new team. And once he gets that team killed due to his carelessness, MacGruber will just have to settle for Vicki Gloria St. Elmo (Kristen Wiig) and Lieutenant Dixon Piper (Ryan Phillippe) as the fate of the world lies in their hands.

MacGruber is streaming on HBO Max.

‘The Pope’s Exorcist’ (2023)

If you’re looking for the movie where Russell Crowe plays an actor who is portraying a priest who battles demons, that one’s called The Exorcist. The Pope’s Exorcist is an entirely different movie starring Crowe as Father Gabriele Amorth, a rockstar among exorcists due to his reputed ties to the Pope. This film is loosely based on Amorth’s biography, with what we suspect to be a lot of embellishment.

For his latest case, Father Gabriel is teamed with a younger priest, Father Esquibel (Daniel Zovatto), as they face a demon that possesses a young boy named Henry Vasquez (Peter DeSouza-Feighoney). The demon’s reach extends to Henry’s sister,
Amy Vasquez (Laurel Marsden), and the investigation by the two priests uncovers some secrets that the Catholic Church would probably wish to remain hidden.

The Pope’s Exorcist will stream on HBO Max on February 12.

Brantley Gilbert is standing by his decision to perform in Turning Point USA’s rival halftime show.

“For those asking ‘who is Brantley Gilbert?’ and ‘why is he playing this event?’” the country singer, 41, wrote in a lengthy statement shared via X on Friday, February 6. “I’m a songwriter who grew up, and still lives in Jackson County, GA, whose goal in the music business was to sell out the local theater a few miles from my house and somehow make a living writing songs.”

Gilbert added he is a “recovering addict with the history of making bad choices that come with it.”

“I’m not proud of those choices, but I am proud of the choice I made to live in another direction,” he continued. “I share my story through my music, in hopes that it may help and inspire others in their darkest hour.”

Gilbert also explained that his “Christian” faith, “love” for the United States and being a dad are major parts of his identity.

However his decision to say yes to Turning Point USA’s concert was due to the fact a county artist hasn’t performed at the Super Bowl’s halftime show in the past two decades.

“We’re celebrating 250 years as a country, and it’s been more than 20 years since a country artist has been asked to play the Super Bowl halftime show. I respect that some people may see this differently, but I’m not playing this show to be divisive,” he explained. “I was offered this opportunity and imagined my kids watching their daddy perform at halftime during the biggest game in American Football. Everything I do, I do for them.”

Gilbert continued, “The way I treat people isn’t conditional based on what our differences may be. I believe ‘United we stand, divided we fall,’ and my prayer for our country is that we stand united.”
