Canadian Bills Fan Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 They already had a Bills related movie a few years back, right? Something about a replacement team? I don't think football related movies are very good except Rudy and the original Longest Yard. Friday Night Lights Blind Side Varsity Blues Any Given Sunday just to name a few.

Marv's Neighbor Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Eh, I guess I might be overreacting a tad. As long as it ends well and we win the superbowl! It's Comedy, not Fantasy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SF Bills Fan Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 I forgot Friday Night Lights. That was good and the TV show was as well. The other movies I didn't care for much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRAWNDO Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Friday Night Lights Blind Side Varsity Blues Any Given Sunday just to name a few. Good list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 I forgot Friday Night Lights. That was good and the TV show was as well. The other movies I didn't care for much. I'm with you, Friday Night Lights was pretty good but the rest of that list is more Hollywood phony-drama than anything else. My short list of very good football movies: North Dallas Forty Everybody's All American Heaven Can Wait Best of Times All The Right Moves Longest Yard Brian's Song Rudy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hplarrm Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Sadly, the project was canned when Reitman realized that the man he envisioned to play Buddy Nix, Slim Pickens, died in 1983...... Some would say that hiring a guy who died in 83 to play Nix is fairly accurate type casting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My short list of very good football movies: North Dallas Forty Everybody's All American Heaven Can Wait Best of Times All The Right Moves Longest Yard Brian's Song Rudy Personally, I HATED North Dallas Forty. I'm old enough that I saw that one in the theaters and quickly regretted wasting my money. I have no problems with the rest of your list. Brian's Song wasn't a great big Hollywood movie but I'll confess my eyes watered when first seeing it (the original) on TV. Rudy wasn't fascinating every minute but the ending was very moving and inspirational. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buftex Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 (edited) Don't know if it would be considered a "football" movie, more about football fans...but I thought "Big Fan" was one of the funnier movies I have seen in a while...not a "big fan" of Patton Oswald, so I wasn't expecting to like it...the ending was, IMO, one of the best movie endings ever. Great, dark humor. Also, I loved "Everybody's All American". Edited June 23, 2012 by Buftex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drewgetz Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 (edited) Second String The only Buffalo Bills movie you need. I love this movie. It has everything you need including Angelina Jolie('s dad). Besides, having Doug flutie (edit) and Van Miller on the big screen is always a treat. They should have used bad chicken wings instead of oysters tho'.

BillyBaroo Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Buffalo 66 was pretty wild. Yes! No matter what this movie will not top Buffalo 66 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Poojer Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 private parts? This thread made me think about the last movie Reitman directed that anybody cared about. Haven't heard that guy's name in a long time. funny??? yikes... loved the movie, just not sure i would ever use funny when talking about it...dark, yes...funny? may have to rewatch it Don't know if it would be considered a "football" movie, more about football fans...but I thought "Big Fan" was one of the funnier movies I have seen in a while...not a "big fan" of Patton Oswald, so I wasn't expecting to like it...the ending was, IMO, one of the best movie endings ever.

Juron yes, Chan, not so much maybe we can get Sasha Cohen (borat) to play chan....or even better Will Ferro as Rickey Bobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan89 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 I forgot about second string, although I must say that while I don't think this movie will be any good I don't care if they use the Bills as their whipping boys or not. Once we get good again its not going to matter if some crappy film makes fun of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffaloboyinATL Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 (edited) Ralph is in on this idea! Didn't they already make a movie about the Bills. I think it was about wide right. Buffalo 66. Synopsis: Only one thing could bring Billy's mom any joy: an NFL championship for the Bills. She missed the last championship because she went into labor with Billy. Billy's dad snapped his dog's neck to teach him responsibility. Billy bet ten grand on the Bills to win in the Super Bowl five years before only to lose that bet on a missed field goal. He did five years in prison taking the fall for the bookie he can't repay. Now he's out. He has to do two things while he's out: visit his parents before killing the kicker who not only lost the Super Bowl for the Bills but also put him away. The only problem is he has to pee. He kidnaps a girl from a dance studio where he goes to pee so that she can pose as the fictitious wife from the fictitious life he invented in his letters to his parents from jail. She falls for him instantly. He makes the audience uncomfortable as he ignores her advances as he uses her in his plans to eventually kill the kicker while convincing his parents that he lives far away with his beautiful wife. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118789/plotsummary Edited June 26, 2012 by buffaloboyinATL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
