Invincible (2006)
Mark Wahlberg plays the all-star of armchair athletes, Vince Papale, a 30-year-old fan of the Philadelphia Eagles who earns a roster spot after a public tryout. Papale's real-life success (he stuck around in the NFL for three seasons as a special-teams star) inspired plenty of imitators ... and one of the best episodes of "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia," too. Now that's an MVP performance.
