Americans love sports movies. Whether it’s rooting for the underdog team to make the big comeback or cheering on the boxer as he takes on his rival, we get hooked by sports movies because they represent so much more than just a game. They often represent the power of the human spirit to overcome physical, mental, and emotional obstacles. And in some cases, sports flicks just give us a good laugh.

But did you know your favorite sports film might be influenced by where you live? Sounds crazy, but it’s true.

Using data from IMDb, we put together a list of the 200 most popular sports movies of all time. We then worked with the team at Mindnet Analytics and used Google Trends data to identify which sports movie each state was most interested in relative to other states.

The results might be more shocking than the Little Giants’ 99-yard game-winning touchdown on their fumblerooski trick play.
