Best football movie...

Valorin · 08-15-2002, 06:56 AM

With the season fast approaching, and getting a little more detailed then just "Best Sports Movie", I'd like to know what some of you feel is the best football movie.

Taking into account "realisitc and believable" on field action, acting, and story, I'd have to say Rudy ranks as my top football movie.

Others I give high marks to:

Remember the Titans
The Longest Yard
All the Right Moves

Those are the more serious ones (save for Longest yard), but if you like some of the more light hearted ones (Necessary Roughness, the Replacements) say so...

Remember the Titans was so chock full of cheesey preachy shit that it was very difficult to watch, at least for me.

I thought Any Given Sunday was pretty damn good actually. Maybe it wasn't incredibly realistic, but it was entertaining. The Program was good as well.

The beginning of the Last Boy Scout. Woo!

"The Replacements" was pretty entertaining. I still can't watch a movie with Keanu Reeves without halfway expecting him to bust out with an "Excellent!" at some point.

My favorite, though, would have to be "Any Given Sunday". I'm a sucker for Oliver Stone. Al Pacino was great, and Cameron Diaz played an excellent bitch.

Best football move by far is Rudy.

Voron · 08-15-2002, 10:07 AM

Sports movies in general are some of the worst. Any Given Sunday was only worth watching for Al Pacino and James Woods.

Necessary Roughness
The Program ...just because of the steroid guy lol
Varsity Blues ...come on it invented the whip cream bikini =/
