[merrimanm]

Invincible

 

[gojvc]

Come on guys. How can you come to this board and list every football movie that's existed, but not mention

U-G-L-Y
You ain't got no alibi
You ugly,
what, what
You ugly

 

[SituationBlue]

Bend It Like Beckham

Hahahaha

 

[bigdaddy741]

My favorite is Remember the Titans but I pretty much love all football movies.

I haven't seen Invincible mentioned or Necessary Roughness.

 

[anon_013cn8yrfncx2]

Don’t remember the name but has to be the one where Helen Hunt was transitioning.

Looked it up. “Quarterback Princess”

 

[BigBlueFanGA]

Brian’s Song for me.

Interesting, that was one of my father's favorites.

Yes, The Longest Yard, the original, was a great movie.

The Program

Great movie although this play would now be flagged for targeting

 

[Lost In FL]

The Best of Times

Trust me on this. 80s movie with Kurt Russell and Robin Williams.

That reminds me of another 80s football themed movie... Wildcats.

Sag beat me to it. Another classic line, "do you know how to get good penetration?!?"

1. The Replacements
2. Remember the Titans
3. Varsity Blues
4. Little Giants

[jgraf_1]

did anyone ever watch the show playmakers on espn that the nfl basically forced espn to cancel? i really liked that show!

but as far as movies, i like titans, varsity blues, friday night lights, brian's song and one that hasn't been mentioned yet but i really liked growing up was gridiron gang. it came out right as my highschool career ended.

Um, Unnecessary Roughness, only the greatest pregame speech/prayer ever.
