While talking about this movie once, I got into an argument about whether this was a sports movie.  And while the answer is yes: this is in fact a movie revolving around a sport, it has much more to offer than your average sports movie.  The management aspect of baseball and the way Billy Beane changed it forever is incredibly interesting and made entertaining by the great drama and acting shown on screen, the drama especially.  While the movie suffers a teensy bit by being based off of a true story, I think that this story could not have been told any better.  Engaging, interesting, and tense would all be adjectives that I would not hesitate to use when talking about this astoundingly great movie.
