Best Football Themed Movie?

[ekywildcat]

The original The Longest Yard, is the clear winner. Charlie Brown and Lucy is a close second.

Johnny Be Good!!! Funny 80s movie shows how the colleges drool over the stud High School QB.

Of all mentioned so far Game Plan was the best for me..

Love the inspirational ones - Brian's Song, Rudy, Radio, Remember the Titans, etc...

Brian's Song is especially memorable. "I love Brian Piccolo...."

But Blindside is the only one that puts that "awful orange" in its rightful place.

Robert Downey Jr was amazing in that one, “I proceeded to take a putrid asparagus piss on the menuire...”.

The cheerleader from “The Replacements” rockets that film right to the top!

 

[Cawood86]

North Dallas Forty

Yep. Most realistic imo.

I still pull up that speech on YouTube on occasion. That’s my favorite part of the movie and there are a LOT of good parts in that movie.

Jerry McGuire

Invincible

I would put Invincible up there with the 5 in the OP - all 6 of those are just great movies. A lot of other good ones mentioned but those are the best IMO. Hard to pick just one.

 

[KyCatFan]

I will throw a little different one out there.

The Last Boy Scout

1. Varsity Blues
2. Little Giants

Just wanted to add that Herman Boone the inspiration behind Remember the Titans passed away today at the age of 84....

RIP Herman Boone..

Lost him & Radio in the same week.....

The Best of Times

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

One of my most favorites ever! So many excellent quotes.....
"Are you horny to win?"
"You were wearing the home whites, Gigi loved you in the home whites!"
"You ready for this Dr. Death? I'm pretty dang fast for a caucasian?"

 

[jpbky2]

Not in the top 6, but "When the Game Stands Tall" is an underrated, good movie.

M*A*S*H

Rudy is TERRIBLE. It shouldn’t make anyone’s list. The kid played mop up in one game because he pissed and moaned his way onto the team

Knute Rockne

Knute Rockne, All-American.

The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, muted with a 12-pack.

Youngblood was pretty good, especially the nude scene starring Cynthia Gibb.

Oh wait...that's hockey.

Oh well, I still submit it.
