Watch Movies Like a Texan: Rent 8 Seconds

8 Seconds  is a 1994 biopic about American rodeo legend and world bull riding champion Lane Frost. The film details his life from his youth learning how to ride bulls, until his death in 1989. 8 Seconds stars Luke Perry as Lane Frost, Stephen Baldwin as real life rodeo legend Tuff Hedeman, and Red Mitchell as cowboy poet Cody Lambert. The title refers to the length of time a bull rider is required to stay on for a ride to be scored.

If you know/care nothing about rodeo, then you will still love this film.  It's the story of a good man, who falls in love with and marries a good Texas girl, and the struggles that come with fame.
