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:

    • 6 pages of tuka and Seltzer arguing is actually 97 pages long
    • 100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.  
    • "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
