Miyagi-Do Karate Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Compared to baseball movies, a great number of football movies are lacking. I'd say Friday Night Lights was the most well done and thought provoking. Rudy and Brian's Song were both great but a little too schmaltzy to take the top spot. Agreed.

Canadian Bills Fan Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 I know its a teen movie but I liked Varsity Blue's Shows glimpses of what Im sure high school football life must be like CBF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDBillzFan Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 I thought "Invincible" with Mark Walberg was a very good flick, as was "We Are Marshall." The older stuff, "North Dallas Forty," "Brian's Song" were great flicks as well. It's easier to point out the crappy ones, like "Rudy" and "Any Given Sunday." What ridiculous films.

DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 I just saw 'remember the titans' on Tv again the other night and was reminded at how solid that movie was. Not my favorite, but very solid. thought that was good also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fan in San Diego Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 I just saw 'remember the titans' on Tv again the other night and was reminded at how solid that movie was. Not my favorite, but very solid. Great sound track in that movie as well. Ronnie Sunshine Bass! Real life character. Also Any Given Sunday is a solid choice.

Buftex Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Though technically not a "football movie", one of my favorite films of all-time is Barry Levinson's "Diner". It is set in late 1950's Baltimore, and there is a pretty funny football side-story in it. It involves one of the main characters, and obsessive Colts fan, having cold feet about getting married. He decides that his finance must pass a Colts trivia test, in order to proceed with the nuptials. Spoiler Alert: she passes, but then has to suffer through a Colts themed wedding!

That was one one of the funniest scenes ever. Diner is a great flick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Great sound track in that movie as well. Ronnie Sunshine Bass! Real life character. Also Any Given Sunday is a solid choice. Agreed! I own that soundtrack-- the score is terrific. I find Pacino to be a bit too obnoxious in "any given Sunday." Also the male nudity is a bit much to take in that one.

Tiberius Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Robin Williams and Kurt Russel in Best of Times. Really funny scene with these two football fanatics trying to get back with their wives but a football game is on tv and they get busted watching it during dinner. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Best_of_Times_(film) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
