Best football movie ever?
- Thread starter Bkmtnittany1
- Start date
Not the greatest but highly underrated - Necessary Roughness.
Kathy Ireland and a mention of Penn State in it. Bonus points for both

You gentlemen are showing your age with the North Dallas Forty ire......
For me, it was either Remember the Titans or Any Given Sunday. I also really liked Draft Day

Good one. McConaughey and Ian McShane were good in that one.
Never saw it, but heard great things about Brian's Song as well
All The Right Moves.
Stefan Djordevick is the kind of football player coaches can only dream of. Joe missed out on this kid. He would have made a difference.

Joe never recruited Ampipe. I never understood that.
It was Scrap and Franny's territory, and they never felt Ampipe could send players that could compete at the top level. But they should have taken a flier on Djordjovick. Last I heard, this Djordjovick kid had joined the military or some version of the CIA. Not bad, but think how his life would have turned out if he had been at PSU.
I think they used the last scholarship that year on some kid from Western New York named Conlan. Not really sure what happened to him.

I’m not a big movie guy in general, sports movies in particular. That said, I really enjoy the original Longest Yard. Another one I haven’t seen mentioned here is Brian’s Song. I saw my father cry twice. Once at my mother’s funeral and the other time watching Brian’s Song.
I would like to go on record as saying Leatherheads was not a good football movie.
Maybe not the best, but highly underrated - The Waterboy.
Horsefeathers...
This works so well with the current and past BOT....

Best one about college football recruiting - Johnny Be Good...get Anthony Micheal Hall at his peak, a very young Uma Thrman, and Robert Downey Jr. throwing heaters in every scene. Also, Penn State mentions....(one of the first recruiters to his house is from Penn State).
And, Judas Priest did a cover of 'Johnny B. Good' for the film. Yes.

Hmmm, I find it hard to pick the best one because they each have a good story.
Rudy has always been my favorite its just too bad it is about Notre Lame.
Invincible - I am an Eagles phan and this movie was fantastic!! Marky Mark though as a football player?? Couldn't they find someone bigger and who was not in Boogie Nights?
Brian Song - very sad story line
Something for Joey - always up there because it is PSU related, very sad as well
We Are Marshall - just sad but great telling the story
The Longest Yard - "I think I broke his effin neck!!" - nuff said
The Program - don't know how realistic it is to college football but I enjoy it.
Necessary Roughness - funny movie, Cathy Ireland in half shirt!!
The Replacements - strippers as cheerleaders!! Deebob from Rudy as a Dlineman. Enjoyable movie.
Remember the Titans - the more I watch it the more I question some of the dialog as it doesn't make sense. Also, I think Disney threw some things in that are just dumb.
All the Right Moves - I like it but the part with him getting kicked off the team and then trashing the coaches house just doesn't seem realistic to me
The Blind SIde - good story line but I read where Oher was upset with the hollywood story because they added things that were not true as usual
Draft Day - I enjoyed that movie. They needed Jennifer Garner to put on some of her outfits from Alias though.
Any Given Sunday - not a fan as Al Pacino as a head coach
Waterboy - enjoyable but comedy
Friday Night Lights I was never a fan of.
Gridiron Gang - good story line but how realistic would that be. I heard St Gabes(bad boy school near Oaks, PA used to have a football team but they got out of hand and stopped the program).
Little Giants - good movie because I hear the play Annexation of Puerto Rico was used a lot in pee wee football when that movie came out

I need to get me a copy of that book!Maybe not the best, but highly underrated - The Waterboy.
If they remake the movie they’ll have to get the newest edition of this book. Authored by Pat Narduzzi.Maybe not the best, but highly underrated - The Waterboy.

How about Everybody's All-American? Maybe not the best football movie, but it does have the extremely hot Jessica Lange. Oh, and some dudes named Dennis Quaid, Timothy Hutton, and John Goodman.
You win!! The 2 and 7 Man Sled movie is the best I have ever seen too!! That was feckin' awesome!!!
