Stomp the Yard

Stomp the Yard is a 2007 drama and dance film produced by Rainforest Films and released through Sony Pictures' Screen Gems division on January 12, 2007. Directed by Sylvain White, Stomp the Yard centers around DJ Williams, a college student at a fictional historically Black university who pledges to join a fictional Greek-letter fraternity. The film's central conflict involves DJ's fraternity competing in various stepping competitions against a rival fraternity from the same school. The film's script was written by Robert Adetuyi, working from an original draft by Gregory Ramon Anderson. The film was originally titled Steppin', but to avoid confusion over the 2006 film Step Up, the title was changed.

  Stomp the yard and I really liked the dance fascinates me, especially the one shown in the movie, the songs are also very good and blend well with the type of dance they perform.

The movie is mainly a young group competing against other groups from street dance to see who are the best, so show how to train, practice over and over again.

 The Longest Yard

  The Longest Yard is a 2005 American sports comedy film remake of the 1974 film of the same name. Adam Sandler plays the protagonist, Paul Crewe, a disgraced former professional football quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers of the NFL, who is coerced to form a team from the prison inmates to play football against their guards. 

Burt Reynolds, who played Adam Sandler's role in the original, plays a major role as Nate Scarborough, the head coach and a former Heisman Trophy winner for Oklahoma in 1955, and Chris Rock as Crewe's cell neighbor and friend known as Caretaker.

The film was released in North America by Paramount Pictures and worldwide by Columbia Pictures (the latter of which has released the majority of Sandler's films since the early 2000s).

The Longest Yard is basically a group of convicts who face guards in a football game. The convicts are led by a former NFL professional quarterback who is forced to choose between his freedom or be loyal to his friends. I really liked the movie, because the background music is very good, also the actors, but when the protagonist decides to be faithful to his friends shows that friendship is present even in the most "evil" of the planet.
