    Just wondering which do you guys think is the best ever football movie of all time.

    Remember the Titans - Denzel Washington
    Invincible - Mark Wahlberg
    We Are Marshall - Matthew McConaughey
    Friday Night Lights - Billy Bob Thornton
    Rudy - Sean Astin
    The Replacements - Gene Hackman, Keanu Reeves
    The Waterboy - Adam Sandler
    The Longest Yard (2005) - Adam Sandler
    The Longest Yard (1974) - Burt Reynolds
    Varsity Blues - James Van Der Beek
    PROGRAM - Omar Epps
    Any Given Sunday - Al Pacino, Jamie Foxx
    Wildcats - Goldie Hawn
    Gridiron Gang - Dwayne Johnson

    My View
    Personally I have seen all the listed movies except Invincible, Varsity Blues and Rudy. I have never heard of Brian's Song until now. Based on all your comments I will have to take a trip to the movie store and watch a few more. The great thing about football movies are the stories they tell combined with the action. Usually it's about togetherness and the triumphs above obstacles. Some are true moving stories, and some are ludicrously funny and entertaining. Unfortunately I can't add more movies to the list unless someone can show me how. So if I have left any out please make a comment. I'm a fan of these types of movies and would like to watch any other good ones. Personally for me it was a toss between Remember the Titans and Any Given Sunday.

    Thanks for all your input!

    Why is it that baseball movies are always better than football movies? And I don't even LIKE baseball that much?

    Remember The Titans certainly takes the cake for me.

    Denzel Washington & Will Patton stood out, but Wood Harris almost stole the show.
    (Denzel is just too good)

    Might be a loner on this one, but I didn't even like Rudy that much. 6.5-7/10.

    Remember the Titans... hands down for me. Great performances in that movie, some great action shots, and a great meaningful story line. It's easily the winner in my opinion

    Hear hear. That was a great football movie. But Remember the Titans and Rudy are certainly up there as well.

    Yeah I couldnt believe there was no Brian Song, North Dallas Forty or Necessary Roughness.

    Remember the Titans and Rudy are the best football movies by far

    IMO you just can't beat the original "The Longest Yard" with Reynolds.

    I'm partial to Necessary Roughness myself. Watched it alot last season. Satelle reminds me of the center in the movie. Manu Manu the slender.
