Top 10 Greatest Football Movies Ever Made

[Rush23]

Dell's recent list was the Top 10 Greatest Football movies ever. Wanted to get everybody's thoughts on the list, do you agree with it? What movies should be higher? What movies should have been included in the Top 10?

Personally, I think Varsity Blues should be a little higher. Easily my favorite football movie, high school Quarterback who faces the adversity of "high school politics" in Texas football. Plus the blonde chick's whipped cream bikini

I think The Program should be a little lower but thats just my opinion.

The Express

The best

Where the hell is "Semi-Tough"?

I saw it a couple of years ago, and I think they edited the ending - I swear the first time I saw it that the wierd foreign kicker pulled down some girls halter top and started fondling her, I was 12 or something and that scene is burned into my memory...

The Express is a newer release, but I think it should have been in the top ten. Get rid of Radio.

[Nytrogen]

The Blind Side should easily be top 5. Also I think Remember the Titans should be number 1.

[STIFFPAWED]

1. Friday Night Lights

2. The Blindside

3. Invincible

4. The Express

5. Brian's Song

6. We Are Marshall

7. Remember The Titans

8. Any Given Sunday

9. The Longest Yard

10. The Waterboy ( How could you forget that one)

Any Given Sunday No.8 is way to high it should easily be to 3 it was not only a great football movie but a great movie period. Friday Night lights should move up a spot to No.2 and Rudy was good but not No.1 in my book. I would give that to The Blindside.

My fave is We Are Marshall... it's the only one that actually evoked emotion in me, imagining what it would be like to lose all those kids, and how to pick up the pieces afterwards.

How come no one ever mentions "The Best Of Times" on these lists? That is, in my opinion, the FUNNIEST football movie ever. Robin Williams and Kurt Russell are a hoot in it. If you haven't ever seen it, make it a point to rent it. The Encore movie channels are good for running it several times a year.

"Necessary Roughness" was pretty good too.

The Express suffers from a storyline that has been done 1 million times already.

Haven't seen The Blindside yet, but no doubt in my mind, it doesn't matter how many more football movies come out, Rudy will always be #1. That is one of my favorite movies ever.

I've heard great things about The Blindside as well.

Also, I thought Gridiron Gang was garbage when the previews first came out but one of my friends told me about it, so I checked it out and it is a great movie as well... I think it should be Top 10.

Both great movies. It's more of what makes it a better movie for each viewer, comedy that makes you bust a gut, or drama that moves you.

But you get different opinions in a subjective "top ten" post like this, no?

[SMACKDAB]

It's not out yet, but I'm betting the farm it will be a doozie!

It's about the Cowbitches, and how they have fallen upon a 100 year streak without winning a Super Bowl. Starts off with them on a 14 year skid with no play off wins, tide turns a little, yet still no Super Bowl.

Not gonna spoil the ending for you guys.....but....100 year streak should give you some insight. It's kind of a softhearted merger of Brokeback Mountain, and the Dallas Cowboys. It could actually be considered a love story.

Coming soon to a theater near you.
