Football movies

[r8rh8rmike]

So many great football movies that each have a unique appeal, message and point of emphesis. It's going to be hard to pick the best, at least for me.

The best has to be remember the titans, followed by friday night lights and invincible. I've still yet to see Gridiron gangs even though i have it on dvd

I don't think this is about picking the best, Mike, rather just vreating a list...

anyone add "Heaven Can Wait" yet? Warren Beatty as an L.A. Rams QB

That's not the impression I got R&D....

Lets try to compile a list of all the football movies we can think of. After, I will compile a list and the Clan will decide which of the great flicks are the best of the best.

All the movies I can think of have been mentioned already. Oh wait a minute I think I have one?

JAWS!

If I remember correctly there were a couple of kids throwing a football around on the beach before the big attack.

Does "Going Greek" count? I catch a football in that movie! totally make a great play 'Avery' style and streak down the sideline. its about a blue chip HS recruit that blows his knee so Notre Dame drops his scholarship. He ends up at a regular college playing flag football for his frat house.

Thank you KoaKoi??

I love it too Randy, and I'm a Notre Dame hater. If someone claimed this was the greatest football movie ever, I'd have a hard time disputing it. And like you, no matter how hard I try, I can't stop from crying at the end. As a control freak, it's not a good feeling.

semantics, maybe? First a compilation, then a poll?

No matter, amigo. It's the offseason... Yawn.
