Top 10 Greatest Football Movies Ever Made


Rush23

Recommended Posts

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 ;)

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.

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? ;)

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.

:cheers2:

    • Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways. 
    • Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season. 
    • Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
