Three excellent free movies to watch this weekend (February 7-9)

      This weekend brings one of the year’s largest sporting events, the Super Bowl. The Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles will face off in Super Bowl LIX, taking place in New Orleans, Louisiana. This match is a rematch of Super Bowl LVII, where the Chiefs narrowly defeated the Eagles with a score of 38-35. The Eagles will aim to avenge their previous loss and stop the Chiefs from achieving three consecutive Super Bowl victories.

      Typically, the Super Bowl ranks as the most-viewed television event of the year. Even those uninterested in football often tune in for the entertaining commercials. To prepare for the game, FAST services offer a broad selection of football films available for free streaming. Our suggestions include a comedy featuring a team of substitutes, a comedy from the 1990s, and an inspiring underdog story.

      Additionally, we provide guides to the best new films to stream, along with lists of the top movies available on Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, Max, and Disney+.

      **The Replacements (2000)**

      *Warner Bros. Pictures*

      Everyone enjoys a good redemption tale. For the players in The Replacements, this is their opportunity to become football heroes. Following a player strike, the Washington Sentinels find themselves without a team. The Sentinels need to win three out of their last four games to reach the postseason. Owner Edward O’Neil (Jack Warden) hires former coach Jimmy McGinty (Gene Hackman) to assemble a team of replacement players for the remainder of the season.

      McGinty takes on the job and builds the team his way. The key player on the new roster is quarterback Shane Falco (Keanu Reeves), a former All-American whose career faltered after a significant loss. Under Falco’s leadership, McGinty recruits a group of misfits and unknowns. Eventually, the team unites and develops camaraderie over their shared setbacks. Who knows? Perhaps a squad of benchwarmers can achieve greatness.

      **The Waterboy (1998)**

      *The Waterboy (1998) Trailer | Adam Sandler | Kathy Bates*

      Remember when Bobby Boucher appeared at halftime and led the Mud Dogs to victory in the Bourbon Bowl? We certainly do! Adam Sandler created one of the most unconventional linebackers in The Waterboy, a highlight of his 1990s comedies. Bobby Boucher Jr. (Sandler) has been brought up to love and obey only one thing: his overly protective mother, Helen (Kathy Bates).

      In his spare time, the 31-year-old Bobby serves as the water boy for the struggling South Central Louisiana State University Mud Dogs, directed by the downcast Coach Klein (Henry Winkler). After being mocked by the team’s quarterback, Bobby reacts in anger and knocks him out cold. Impressed by his fierce demeanor, Coach Klein recruits Bobby onto the team as a linebacker. With Bobby anchoring the defense, South Central begins to thrive. However, Bobby’s mother, who disapproves of football, may be the only obstacle between them and a championship.

      **My All American (2015)**

      *Clarius Entertainment*

      Everything is indeed bigger in Texas, especially football. The Texas Longhorns gained fame in the 1960s under the leadership of coach Darrell Royal (Aaron Eckhart). Freddie Steinmark, a former player for Royal, serves as the inspiration for My All American. Despite his smaller size, Steinmark (Finn Wittrock) earns a chance to play for Royal (Aaron Eckhart) in the late 1960s.

      Freddie ascends to the varsity team and finds success on defense. Just as he begins to establish himself, he starts experiencing knee pain. Freddie's injury takes a tragic turn during the 1968 season, preventing him from playing. Nevertheless, Freddie’s journey motivates the team as they prepare for the 1969 Cotton Bowl Classic. My All American is a tribute to Steinmark, the quintessential teammate.
