They\'re packed with real action and genuine inspiration. They\'re filled with raw emotions and extended montages. Football movies can change your life. They can teach you about love, teach you about success and they can even teach you a thing or two about yourself. Here are the top 25 football movies of all time, in order of awesomeness:\r\n<h2><strong>25. The Blind Side</strong></h2>\r\nTo be honest, this movie sucked. Yea, I said it. The film portrayed Michael Oher as a jumbo moron whose super-sweet, inner-city innocence was matched only by his inability to comprehend the purpose of blocking. The whole thing just felt so exploitative on too many levels. But hey, Sandra Bullock won an Academy Award for that accent, and that should count for something.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/i1hG_mjQojw&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/i1hG_mjQojw&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"> </embed></object>\r\n<h2><strong>24. Heaven Can Wait</strong></h2>\r\nIt’s hard for this generation to remember what a badass Warren Beatty used to be (it’s also hard to remember that the Rams once hailed from Los Angeles). This movie has to be one of Kurt Warner’s favorites – it’s got the Rams, the romance, an injured QB, a dude who uses his millions to do the right things and lots of angels and heaven and other Christian stuff.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/o4ZVb_l5zDc&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/o4ZVb_l5zDc&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"> </embed></object>\r\n<h2><strong>23. Radio</strong></h2>\r\nYea, Radio made the list. But why not, right? Ed Harris is a coach who really cares about football and making a difference. Cuba Gooding Jr. is a special person who loves listening to his radio and overcoming adversity. Spoiler alert: Ed Harris retires from coaching in the end, thus showing he cares more about making a difference than he does about football.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/Gca8-s097jA&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/Gca8-s097jA&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"> </embed></object>\r\n<h2><strong>22. Lucas</strong></h2>\r\nLucas is Corey Haim’s hit flick about geekiness, romance and how it all ties together with football. Haim is the weakling who can’t defend himself. Charlie Sheen is the standup captain of the football team who protects Haim. Everything changes when new girl Kerri Green arrives at school and the nerd and the jock battle for her affections.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/LgR0tF1XXRQ&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/LgR0tF1XXRQ&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"> </embed></object>\r\n<h2><strong>21. Jerry Maguire</strong></h2>\r\nThis movie seems kinda dated now. Although it’s starting to be okay to like Tom Cruise movies again, it’s hard to think back to a time when Renee Zellweger was attractive and Drew Beldose was the biggest thing in the NFL. Gushy love story and annoying spiky-haired kid aside, this film is still a worthy addition to the list.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/onRbNsxRBVQ&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/onRbNsxRBVQ&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"> </embed></object>\r\n<h2><strong>20. The Waterboy</strong></h2>\r\nMay not have much rewatchability, but this movie served its purpose. It was the gridiron Happy Gilmore, and it accomplished what it set out to do. Before The Blind Side melted people’s hearts, this film was the highest grossing sports movie of all time. Seriously.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/uGPYYnA6UD8&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/uGPYYnA6UD8&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n<h2><strong><!--more-->19. Johnny Be Good</strong></h2>\r\nThis 80s classic stars AMH (Anthony Michael Hall), RDJ (Robert Downey Jr), a very young Uma Thurman and that hall monitor guy from the Breakfast Club. AMH is Johnny Walker, the most highly coveted high school football player in the country. When his high school playing days are over, Walker has to decide whether we wants to pursue his dream or give up everything to go to some crappy local college to be with his chick.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/wmeUpG2hXBE&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/wmeUpG2hXBE&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n<h2><strong>18. Brian’s Song</strong></h2>\r\nThis is the kinda film you watch when you need a good cry, but you just can’t stand to see Demi Moore with that ridiculous haircut in Ghost. Billy Dee plays Gale Sayers and James Caan is Brian Piccolo. The two guys get along swimmingly until Piccolo finds out he’s dying, and it’s just one big, true-story downer from there.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/Lnt-BqOjaTQ&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/Lnt-BqOjaTQ&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n<h2><strong>17. Friday Night Lights</strong></h2>\r\nIt\'s not quite as good as Varsity Blues and not as memorable as Remember the Titans, but Friday Night Lights (or as it’s known in Germany, <a href=\"http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friday_Night_Lights_%E2%80%93_Touchdown_am_Freitag\" target=\"_blank\">Touchdown am Freitag</a>) is a serviceable teenage football flick that makes use of Billy Bob Thornton and a bunch of teenage actors I can’t remember to showcase the local obsession/expectations of a Texas High School football team in the late 80s.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/Qzyp4qOW0F0&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/Qzyp4qOW0F0&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n<h2><strong>16. Gridiron Gang</strong></h2>\r\nThe Rock takes a bunch of prison punks and uses football to teach them about self-respect and responsibility.

The Longest Yard</strong></h2>\r\nYea, I know they made two of ‘em. Maybe they shouldn’t be lumped together, but Burt Reynolds appears heavily in both, so to me they’re like the same movie. The first one doesn’t have Chris Rock or Terry Crews stuffin\' burgers down his pants, so I think the edge goes to the remake. And good gad damn,  Courtney Cox looks way too hot in this movie.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/SpuLoSTcGRs&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/SpuLoSTcGRs&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n<h2><strong>14. All the Right Moves</strong></h2>\r\nWe’ve all faced the difficult choice of pursuing our football dreams or working in the local steel mill. Well, Tom Cruise ain’t about to work in no steel mill. So instead, he uses all the right moves to show Coach Craig T. Nelson what’s what.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/eS5MtPXo13k&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/eS5MtPXo13k&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n<h2><strong>13. We Are Marshall</strong></h2>\r\nSuper-inspirational movie that would have been way better without McConaughey (who – spoiler alert – plays Coach Matthew McConaughey in the film). Still a crazy true story that scores pretty high on the inspirmotional meter.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/ocOiIdnlsjw&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/ocOiIdnlsjw&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n<h2><strong>12. Invincible</strong></h2>\r\nYea, it’s a Disney movie, but it’s got a Wahlberg brother in it so you know it’s worth watching. Greg Kinear as a young Dick Vermeil was a nice touch, too.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/Aux_hRJYED8&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/Aux_hRJYED8&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n<h2><strong>11. The Express</strong></h2>\r\nHere’s another Disney movie that’s still worth your time. It’s the story of Ernie Davis, the first African American player to win the Heisman trophy. Dennis Quaid plays Syracuse coach Ben Schwartzwalder, and Saul Rubinek is good as Art Modell. Kind of ridiculous to think that the Cleveland Browns could’ve had Ernie Davis and Jim Brown in the same backfield...\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/-gdiHS__LyQ&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/-gdiHS__LyQ&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n<h2><strong>10. School Ties</strong></h2>\r\nAntisemitism is best served… on a football field! Brendan Frasier is just one of the guys - going to an elite prep school, playin’ ball and <a href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AYh386SHVU\" target=\"_blank\">singin’ with boys in his PJs</a>.  But what Cole Hauser, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck don’t know is that Brendan Frasier is a Jew. They find out.

The Last Boy Scout</strong></h2>\r\nDude, the L.A. Stallions? Willis and Wayans (the good one) on the same screen? Halle Berry playing a stripper? Billy Blanks shooting people on the field? This movie has it all – solid banter and one-liners from Willis and Wayans, dramatic, tell-all villains and lots of ultra-violence. It’s like a lost Die Hard movie with extra football references. Well worth watching again if it’s been awhile. Best intro scene ever:\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/VVrsGHs2MCk&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/VVrsGHs2MCk&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n<h2><strong>8. The Replacements</strong></h2>\r\nDon’t let anyone tell you this movie isn’t awesome. Johnny Utah plays Shane Falco, a washed up QB who lives on a boat, but can still fling it as a replacement player. Gene Hackman plays the coach with the straw hat who knows about heart. Massively underrated Brooke Langton is the hot cheerleader/bartendress who brings it all together. Hands down the best football movie with a choreographed Gloria Gaynor prison dance routine.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/4fan97hHZcM&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/4fan97hHZcM&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n<h2><strong>7. Knute Rockne All American</strong></h2>\r\nBefore Rudy, this was the last film to be shot at Notre Dame. If you don\'t enjoy this film, you don\'t like America.

Any Given Sunday</strong></h2>\r\nThis film was made to showcase the real realness of the NFL, and it was made by Oliver Stone so it\'s gotta be true. Pretty sure this was Al Pacino’s last good movie. Think about it. He did not-so-bad with that recent HBO Jack Kevorkian thing, but Al’s made some very trash films over the last decade or so. I think it\'s the yelling. The older he got, the more he sounded like a Pacino impersonation. I think he gives a convincing Pacino in this speech:\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/WO4tIrjBDkk&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/WO4tIrjBDkk&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n<h2><strong>5.

Okay okay, just seeing if you\'re paying attention. This movie is great for repeat viewing. Denzel and Will Patton coach togetherness, teens learn lessons and everyone learns more about themselves.

But hey, Sandra Bullock won an Academy Award for that accent, and that should count for something.\n\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/i1hG_mjQojw&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/i1hG_mjQojw&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"> </embed></object>\n\nHeaven Can Wait\nIt’s hard for this generation to remember what a badass Warren Beatty used to be (it’s also hard to remember that the Rams once hailed from Los Angeles). This movie has to be one of Kurt Warner’s favorites – it’s got the Rams, the romance, an injured QB, a dude who uses his millions to do the right things and lots of angels and heaven and other Christian stuff.\n\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/o4ZVb_l5zDc&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/o4ZVb_l5zDc&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"> </embed></object>\n\nPaper Lion\nFrom 1968, Paper Lion has Alan Alda playing sportswriter George Plimpton. Plimpton’s all about writing authentic sports pieces, so he convinces the Detroit Lions to let him attend training camp. As he struggles to learn the game and not get himself killed, Plimpton must also hide his true identity as an undercover journo. Hilarity and mutual respect ensue. This film features lots of NFL players and some awesome quotes from Vince Lombardi.\n\nRadio\nYea, Radio made the list. But why not, right? Ed Harris is a coach who really cares about football and making a difference. Cuba Gooding Jr. is a special person who loves listening to his radio and overcoming adversity. Spoiler alert: Ed Harris retires from coaching in the end, thus showing he cares more about making a difference than he does about football.\n\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/Gca8-s097jA&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"640\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/Gca8-s097jA&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"> </embed></object>\n\nLucas\nLucas is Corey Haim’s hit flick about geekiness, romance and football. Haim is the weakling who can’t defend himself. Charlie Sheen is the standup captain of the football team who protects Haim.

Although it’s starting to be okay to like Tom Cruise movies again, it’s hard to think back to a time when Renee Zellweger was attractive and Drew Beldose was the biggest thing in the NFL.

Stallions? Willis and Wayans (the good one)? Halle Berry playing a stripper? Billy Blanks shooting people on the field? This movie has it all – solid banter and one-liners from Willis and Wayans, dramatic music and ultra-violence. It’s like a lost Die Hard movie with extra football references. Well worth watching again if it’s been awhile.

Maybe they shouldn’t be lumped together, but Bert Reynolds appears heavily in both, so to me they’re like the same movie. The first one doesn’t have Chris Rock or Terry Crews stuffin burgers down his pants, so I think the edge goes to the remake.

It’s the story of Ernie Davis, the first African American player to win the Heisman trophy. Dennis Quaid plays Syracuse coach Ben Schwartzwalder, and Saul Rubinek is good as Art Modell. Kinda ridiculous to think that the Cleveland Browns could’ve had Ernie Davis and Jim Brown in the same backfield.\n\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/-gdiHS__LyQ&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/-gdiHS__LyQ&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\n\nGus\nDon Knotts is the head coach of the L.A.

Johnny Utah plays Shane Falco, a washed up QB who lives on a boat, but can still fling it as a replacement player. Gene Hackman plays the coach with the straw hat who knows about heart. The underrated Brooke Langton is the hot cheerleader/bartendress who brings it all together. Hands down the best football movie with a choreographed Gloria Gaynor prison dance routine.\n\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/4fan97hHZcM&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/4fan97hHZcM&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\n\nKnute Rockne All American\nWatch it for the Gipper!\n\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/NIHNUt1gw7A&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/NIHNUt1gw7A&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\n\nAny Given Sunday\nPretty sure this was Al Pacino’s last good movie.

All this and James Caan is the coach.

Yea, I said it. The film portrayed Michael Oher as a jumbo moron whose super-sweet, inner-city innocence was matched only by his inability to comprehend the purpose of blocking. The whole thing just felt exploitative on too many levels. But hey, Sandra Bullock won an Academy Award for that accent, and that should count for something.\n\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/i1hG_mjQojw&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/i1hG_mjQojw&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"> </embed></object>\n\n<strong>Heaven Can Wait</strong>\nIt’s hard for this generation to remember what a badass Warren Beatty used to be (it’s also hard to remember that the Rams once hailed from Los Angeles). This movie has to be one of Kurt Warner’s favorites – it’s got the Rams, the romance, an injured QB, a dude who uses his millions to do the right things and lots of angels and heaven and other Christian stuff.\n\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/o4ZVb_l5zDc&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/o4ZVb_l5zDc&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"> </embed></object>\n\n<strong>Paper Lion</strong>\nFrom 1968, Paper Lion has Alan Alda playing sportswriter George Plimpton. Plimpton’s all about writing authentic sports pieces, so he convinces the Detroit Lions to let him attend training camp. As he struggles to learn the game and not get himself killed, Plimpton must also hide his true identity as an undercover journo. Hilarity and mutual respect ensue. This film features lots of NFL players and some awesome quotes from Vince Lombardi.\n\n<strong>Radio</strong>\nYea, Radio made the list. But why not, right? Ed Harris is a coach who really cares about football and making a difference. Cuba Gooding Jr. is a special person who loves listening to his radio and overcoming adversity. Spoiler alert: Ed Harris retires from coaching in the end, thus showing he cares more about making a difference than he does about football.\n\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/Gca8-s097jA&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/Gca8-s097jA&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"> </embed></object>\n\n<strong>Lucas</strong>\nLucas is Corey Haim’s hit flick about geekiness, romance and football. Haim is the weakling who can’t defend himself. Charlie Sheen is the standup captain of the football team who protects Haim. Everything changes when new girl Kerri Green arrives at school and the nerd and the jock battle for her affections.\n\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/LgR0tF1XXRQ&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/LgR0tF1XXRQ&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\n\n<strong>Jerry Maguire</strong>\nThis movie seems kinda dated now. Although it’s starting to be okay to like Tom Cruise movies again, it’s hard to think back to a time when Renee Zellweger was attractive and Drew Beldose was the biggest thing in the NFL. Gushy love story and annoying spiky-haired kid aside, this film is still a worthy addition to the list.\n\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/onRbNsxRBVQ&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/onRbNsxRBVQ&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\n\n<strong>The Waterboy</strong>\nMay not have much rewatchability, but this movie served its purpose. It was the gridiron Happy Gilmore, and it accomplished what it set out to do. Before The Blind Side melted people’s hearts, this film was the highest grossing sports movie of all time. Seriously.\n\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/uGPYYnA6UD8&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/uGPYYnA6UD8&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\n\n<strong>Little Giants</strong>\nRick Moranis, Ed O’Neil and a bunch of kids prove that when players believe in their coach, underwhelming athletic ability can defeat evil.

Billy Dee plays Gale Sayers and James Caan is Brian Piccolo. The two guys get along swimmingly until Piccolo finds out he’s dying, and it’s just one big, true-story downer from there.\n\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/Lnt-BqOjaTQ&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/Lnt-BqOjaTQ&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\n\n<strong>Friday Night Lights</strong>\nNot quite as good as Varsity Blues and not as memorable as Remember the Titans, Friday Night Lights (or as it’s known in Germany, Touchdown am Freitag) is a serviceable teenage football flick that uses Billy Bob Thornton and a bunch of teenage actors I can’t remember to showcase the local obsession/expectations of a Texas High School football team in the late 80s.\n\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/Qzyp4qOW0F0&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/Qzyp4qOW0F0&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\n\n<strong>North Dallas 40</strong>\n--\n\n<strong>The Last Boy Scout</strong>\nDude, the L.A. Stallions? Willis and Wayans (the good one)? Halle Berry playing a stripper? Billy Blanks shooting people on the field? This movie has it all – solid banter and one-liners from Willis and Wayans, dramatic music and ultra-violence. It’s like a lost Die Hard movie with extra football references. Well worth watching again if it’s been awhile.

Maybe they shouldn’t be lumped together, but Bert Reynolds appears heavily in both, so to me they’re like the same movie. The first one doesn’t have Chris Rock or Terry Crews stuffin burgers down his pants, so I think the edge goes to the remake. And good gad damn,  Courtney Cox looks way too hot in this movie.\n\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/SpuLoSTcGRs&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/SpuLoSTcGRs&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\n\n<strong>All the Right Moves</strong>\nWe’ve all faced the difficult choice of pursuing our football dreams or working in the local steel mill.

It’s the story of Ernie Davis, the first African American player to win the Heisman trophy. Dennis Quaid plays Syracuse coach Ben Schwartzwalder, and Saul Rubinek is good as Art Modell. Kinda ridiculous to think that the Cleveland Browns could’ve had Ernie Davis and Jim Brown in the same backfield.\n\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/-gdiHS__LyQ&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/-gdiHS__LyQ&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\n\n<strong>Gus</strong>\nDon Knotts is the head coach of the L.A. Atoms, and only a mule from Yugoslavia named Gus can help his team’s kicking game. Gus and his loveable foreign handler Andy use long distance field goals to win their way into our hearts. Ed Asner, Dick van Patten and Tim Conway are in there too. Oy-etch!\n\nhttp://www.moviegoods.com/large_detail.asp?http://www.moviegoods.com//Assets/product_images/1020/175835.1020.A.jpg\n\n<strong>The Replacements</strong>\nDon’t let anyone tell you this movie isn’t awesome. Johnny Utah plays Shane Falco, a washed up QB who lives on a boat, but can still fling it as a replacement player. Gene Hackman plays the coach with the straw hat who knows about heart. The underrated Brooke Langton is the hot cheerleader/bartendress who brings it all together. Hands down the best football movie with a choreographed Gloria Gaynor prison dance routine.\n\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/4fan97hHZcM&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/4fan97hHZcM&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\n\n<strong>Knute Rockne All American</strong>\nWatch it for the Gipper!\n\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/NIHNUt1gw7A&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/NIHNUt1gw7A&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\n\n<strong>Any Given Sunday</strong>\nPretty sure this was Al Pacino’s last good movie.

Yea, I said it. The film portrayed Michael Oher as a jumbo moron whose super-sweet, inner-city innocence was matched only by his inability to comprehend the purpose of blocking. The whole thing just felt exploitative on too many levels. But hey, Sandra Bullock won an Academy Award for that accent, and that should count for something.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/i1hG_mjQojw&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/i1hG_mjQojw&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"> </embed></object>\r\n\r\n<strong>Heaven Can Wait</strong>\r\nIt’s hard for this generation to remember what a badass Warren Beatty used to be (it’s also hard to remember that the Rams once hailed from Los Angeles).

Plimpton’s all about writing authentic sports pieces, so he convinces the Detroit Lions to let him attend training camp. As he struggles to learn the game and not get himself killed, Plimpton must also hide his true identity as an undercover journo. Hilarity and mutual respect ensue. This film features lots of NFL players and some awesome quotes from Vince Lombardi.\r\n\r\n<strong>Radio</strong>\r\nYea, Radio made the list. But why not, right? Ed Harris is a coach who really cares about football and making a difference. Cuba Gooding Jr. is a special person who loves listening to his radio and overcoming adversity. Spoiler alert: Ed Harris retires from coaching in the end, thus showing he cares more about making a difference than he does about football.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/Gca8-s097jA&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/Gca8-s097jA&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"> </embed></object>\r\n\r\n<strong>Lucas</strong>\r\nLucas is Corey Haim’s hit flick about geekiness, romance and football.

Johnny Utah plays Shane Falco, a washed up QB who lives on a boat, but can still fling it as a replacement player. Gene Hackman plays the coach with the straw hat who knows about heart. The underrated Brooke Langton is the hot cheerleader/bartendress who brings it all together. Hands down the best football movie with a choreographed Gloria Gaynor prison dance routine.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/4fan97hHZcM&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/4fan97hHZcM&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n\r\n<strong>Knute Rockne All American</strong>\r\nWatch it for the Gipper!\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/NIHNUt1gw7A&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/NIHNUt1gw7A&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n\r\n<strong>Any Given Sunday</strong>\r\nPretty sure this was Al Pacino’s last good movie.

Yea, I said it. The film portrayed Michael Oher as a jumbo moron whose super-sweet, inner-city innocence was matched only by his inability to comprehend the purpose of blocking. The whole thing just felt exploitative on too many levels. But hey, Sandra Bullock won an Academy Award for that accent, and that should count for something.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/i1hG_mjQojw&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/i1hG_mjQojw&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"> </embed></object>\r\n\r\n<strong>Heaven Can Wait</strong>\r\nIt’s hard for this generation to remember what a badass Warren Beatty used to be (it’s also hard to remember that the Rams once hailed from Los Angeles). This movie has to be one of Kurt Warner’s favorites – it’s got the Rams, the romance, an injured QB, a dude who uses his millions to do the right things and lots of angels and heaven and other Christian stuff.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/o4ZVb_l5zDc&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/o4ZVb_l5zDc&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"> </embed></object>\r\n\r\n<strong>Paper Lion</strong>\r\nFrom 1968, Paper Lion has Alan Alda playing sportswriter George Plimpton. Plimpton’s all about writing authentic sports pieces, so he convinces the Detroit Lions to let him attend training camp. As he struggles to learn the game and not get himself killed, Plimpton must also hide his true identity as an undercover journo. Hilarity and mutual respect ensue. This film features lots of NFL players and some awesome quotes from Vince Lombardi.\r\n\r\n<strong>Radio</strong>\r\nYea, Radio made the list. But why not, right? Ed Harris is a coach who really cares about football and making a difference. Cuba Gooding Jr. is a special person who loves listening to his radio and overcoming adversity. Spoiler alert: Ed Harris retires from coaching in the end, thus showing he cares more about making a difference than he does about football.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/Gca8-s097jA&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/Gca8-s097jA&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"> </embed></object>\r\n\r\n<strong>Lucas</strong>\r\nLucas is Corey Haim’s hit flick about geekiness, romance and football.

This movie has it all – solid banter and one-liners from Willis and Wayans, dramatic music and ultra-violence. It’s like a lost Die Hard movie with extra football references.

Maybe they shouldn’t be lumped together, but Bert Reynolds appears heavily in both, so to me they’re like the same movie. The first one doesn’t have Chris Rock or Terry Crews stuffin burgers down his pants, so I think the edge goes to the remake. And good gad damn,  Courtney Cox looks way too hot in this movie.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/SpuLoSTcGRs&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/SpuLoSTcGRs&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n\r\n<strong>All the Right Moves</strong>\r\nWe’ve all faced the difficult choice of pursuing our football dreams or working in the local steel mill.

Johnny Utah plays Shane Falco, a washed up QB who lives on a boat, but can still fling it as a replacement player. Gene Hackman plays the coach with the straw hat who knows about heart. The underrated Brooke Langton is the hot cheerleader/bartendress who brings it all together.

This film features lots of NFL players and some awesome quotes from Vince Lombardi.\r\n\r\n<strong>Radio</strong>\r\nYea, Radio made the list. But why not, right? Ed Harris is a coach who really cares about football and making a difference. Cuba Gooding Jr. is a special person who loves listening to his radio and overcoming adversity. Spoiler alert: Ed Harris retires from coaching in the end, thus showing he cares more about making a difference than he does about football.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/Gca8-s097jA&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/Gca8-s097jA&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"> </embed></object>\r\n\r\n<strong>Lucas</strong>\r\nLucas is Corey Haim’s hit flick about geekiness, romance and football.

But hey, Sandra Bullock won an Academy Award for that accent, and that should count for something.\n\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/i1hG_mjQojw&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/i1hG_mjQojw&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"> </embed></object>\n\n<strong>Heaven Can Wait</strong>\nIt’s hard for this generation to remember what a badass Warren Beatty used to be (it’s also hard to remember that the Rams once hailed from Los Angeles).

Plimpton’s all about writing authentic sports pieces, so he convinces the Detroit Lions to let him attend training camp. As he struggles to learn the game and not get himself killed, Plimpton must also hide his true identity as an undercover journo. Hilarity and mutual respect ensue. This film features lots of NFL players and some awesome quotes from Vince Lombardi.\n\n<strong>Radio</strong>\nYea, Radio made the list. But why not, right? Ed Harris is a coach who really cares about football and making a difference. Cuba Gooding Jr. is a special person who loves listening to his radio and overcoming adversity. Spoiler alert: Ed Harris retires from coaching in the end, thus showing he cares more about making a difference than he does about football.\n\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/Gca8-s097jA&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/Gca8-s097jA&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"> </embed></object>\n\n<strong>Lucas</strong>\nLucas is Corey Haim’s hit flick about geekiness, romance and football.

Yea, I said it. The film portrayed Michael Oher as a jumbo moron whose super-sweet, inner-city innocence was matched only by his inability to comprehend the purpose of blocking. The whole thing just felt exploitative on too many levels. But hey, Sandra Bullock won an Academy Award for that accent, and that should count for something.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/i1hG_mjQojw&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/i1hG_mjQojw&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"> </embed></object>\r\n\r\n<strong>Heaven Can Wait</strong>\r\nIt’s hard for this generation to remember what a badass Warren Beatty used to be (it’s also hard to remember that the Rams once hailed from Los Angeles). This movie has to be one of Kurt Warner’s favorites – it’s got the Rams, the romance, an injured QB, a dude who uses his millions to do the right things and lots of angels and heaven and other Christian stuff.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/o4ZVb_l5zDc&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/o4ZVb_l5zDc&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"> </embed></object>\r\n\r\n<strong>Paper Lion</strong>\r\nFrom 1968, Paper Lion has Alan Alda playing sportswriter George Plimpton. Plimpton’s all about writing authentic sports pieces, so he convinces the Detroit Lions to let him attend training camp. As he struggles to learn the game and not get himself killed, Plimpton must also hide his true identity as an undercover journo. Hilarity and mutual respect ensue. This film features lots of NFL players and some awesome quotes from Vince Lombardi.\r\n\r\n<strong>Radio</strong>\r\nYea, Radio made the list. But why not, right? Ed Harris is a coach who really cares about football and making a difference. Cuba Gooding Jr. is a special person who loves listening to his radio and overcoming adversity. Spoiler alert: Ed Harris retires from coaching in the end, thus showing he cares more about making a difference than he does about football.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/Gca8-s097jA&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/Gca8-s097jA&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"> </embed></object>\r\n\r\n<strong>Lucas</strong>\r\nLucas is Corey Haim’s hit flick about geekiness, romance and football.

Everything changes when new girl Kerri Green arrives at school and the nerd and the jock battle for her affections.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/LgR0tF1XXRQ&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/LgR0tF1XXRQ&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n\r\n<strong>Jerry Maguire</strong>\r\nThis movie seems kinda dated now. Although it’s starting to be okay to like Tom Cruise movies again, it’s hard to think back to a time when Renee Zellweger was attractive and Drew Beldose was the biggest thing in the NFL. Gushy love story and annoying spiky-haired kid aside, this film is still a worthy addition to the list.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/onRbNsxRBVQ&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/onRbNsxRBVQ&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n\r\n<strong>The Waterboy</strong>\r\nMay not have much rewatchability, but this movie served its purpose. It was the gridiron Happy Gilmore, and it accomplished what it set out to do. Before The Blind Side melted people’s hearts, this film was the highest grossing sports movie of all time. Seriously.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/uGPYYnA6UD8&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/uGPYYnA6UD8&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n\r\n<strong>Little Giants</strong>\r\nRick Moranis, Ed O’Neil and a bunch of kids prove that when players believe in their coach, underwhelming athletic ability can defeat evil.

Billy Dee plays Gale Sayers and James Caan is Brian Piccolo. The two guys get along swimmingly until Piccolo finds out he’s dying, and it’s just one big, true-story downer from there.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/Lnt-BqOjaTQ&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/Lnt-BqOjaTQ&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday Night Lights</strong>\r\nNot quite as good as Varsity Blues and not as memorable as Remember the Titans, Friday Night Lights (or as it’s known in Germany, Touchdown am Freitag) is a serviceable teenage football flick that uses Billy Bob Thornton and a bunch of teenage actors I can’t remember to showcase the local obsession/expectations of a Texas High School football team in the late 80s.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/Qzyp4qOW0F0&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/Qzyp4qOW0F0&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n\r\n<strong>North Dallas 40</strong>\r\n--\r\n\r\n<strong>The Last Boy Scout</strong>\r\nDude, the L.A. Stallions? Willis and Wayans (the good one)? Halle Berry playing a stripper? Billy Blanks shooting people on the field? This movie has it all – solid banter and one-liners from Willis and Wayans, dramatic music and ultra-violence. It’s like a lost Die Hard movie with extra football references. Well worth watching again if it’s been awhile.

Maybe they shouldn’t be lumped together, but Bert Reynolds appears heavily in both, so to me they’re like the same movie. The first one doesn’t have Chris Rock or Terry Crews stuffin burgers down his pants, so I think the edge goes to the remake.

It’s the story of Ernie Davis, the first African American player to win the Heisman trophy. Dennis Quaid plays Syracuse coach Ben Schwartzwalder, and Saul Rubinek is good as Art Modell. Kinda ridiculous to think that the Cleveland Browns could’ve had Ernie Davis and Jim Brown in the same backfield.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/-gdiHS__LyQ&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/-gdiHS__LyQ&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n\r\n<strong>Gus</strong>\r\nDon Knotts is the head coach of the L.A.

Johnny Utah plays Shane Falco, a washed up QB who lives on a boat, but can still fling it as a replacement player. Gene Hackman plays the coach with the straw hat who knows about heart. The underrated Brooke Langton is the hot cheerleader/bartendress who brings it all together. Hands down the best football movie with a choreographed Gloria Gaynor prison dance routine.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/4fan97hHZcM&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/4fan97hHZcM&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n\r\n<strong>Knute Rockne All American</strong>\r\nWatch it for the Gipper!\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/NIHNUt1gw7A&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/NIHNUt1gw7A&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n\r\n<strong>Any Given Sunday</strong>\r\nPretty sure this was Al Pacino’s last good movie.

Yea, I said it. The film portrayed Michael Oher as a jumbo moron whose super-sweet, inner-city innocence was matched only by his inability to comprehend the purpose of blocking.

This film features lots of NFL players and some awesome quotes from Vince Lombardi.\r\n\r\n<strong>Radio</strong>\r\nYea, Radio made the list. But why not, right? Ed Harris is a coach who really cares about football and making a difference. Cuba Gooding Jr. is a special person who loves listening to his radio and overcoming adversity. Spoiler alert: Ed Harris retires from coaching in the end, thus showing he cares more about making a difference than he does about football.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/Gca8-s097jA&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/Gca8-s097jA&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"> </embed></object>\r\n\r\n<strong>Lucas</strong>\r\nLucas is Corey Haim’s hit flick about geekiness, romance and football.

Plimpton’s all about writing authentic sports pieces, so he convinces the Detroit Lions to let him attend training camp. As he struggles to learn the game and not get himself killed, Plimpton must also hide his true identity as an undercover journo. Hilarity and mutual respect ensue. This film features lots of NFL players and some awesome quotes from Vince Lombardi.\n\n<strong>Radio</strong>\nYea, Radio made the list. But why not, right? Ed Harris is a coach who really cares about football and making a difference. Cuba Gooding Jr. is a special person who loves listening to his radio and overcoming adversity. Spoiler alert: Ed Harris retires from coaching in the end, thus showing he cares more about making a difference than he does about football.\n\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/Gca8-s097jA&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/Gca8-s097jA&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"> </embed></object>\n\n<strong>Lucas</strong>\nLucas is Corey Haim’s hit flick about geekiness, romance and football.

Johnny Utah plays Shane Falco, a washed up QB who lives on a boat, but can still fling it as a replacement player. Gene Hackman plays the coach with the straw hat who knows about heart. The underrated Brooke Langton is the hot cheerleader/bartendress who brings it all together.

This movie has to be one of Kurt Warner’s favorites – it’s got the Rams, the romance, an injured QB, a dude who uses his millions to do the right things and lots of angels and heaven and other Christian stuff.\n\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/o4ZVb_l5zDc&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/o4ZVb_l5zDc&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"> </embed></object>\n\n<strong>Paper Lion</strong>\nFrom 1968, Paper Lion has Alan Alda playing sportswriter George Plimpton. Plimpton’s all about writing authentic sports pieces, so he convinces the Detroit Lions to let him attend training camp. As he struggles to learn the game and not get himself killed, Plimpton must also hide his true identity as an undercover journo. Hilarity and mutual respect ensue. This film features lots of NFL players and some awesome quotes from Vince Lombardi.\n\n<strong>Radio</strong>\nYea, Radio made the list. But why not, right? Ed Harris is a coach who really cares about football and making a difference. Cuba Gooding Jr. is a special person who loves listening to his radio and overcoming adversity. Spoiler alert: Ed Harris retires from coaching in the end, thus showing he cares more about making a difference than he does about football.\n\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/Gca8-s097jA&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/Gca8-s097jA&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"> </embed></object>\n\n<strong>Lucas</strong>\nLucas is Corey Haim’s hit flick about geekiness, romance and football.

Although it’s starting to be okay to like Tom Cruise movies again, it’s hard to think back to a time when Renee Zellweger was attractive and Drew Beldose was the biggest thing in the NFL. Gushy love story and annoying spiky-haired kid aside, this film is still a worthy addition to the list.\n\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/onRbNsxRBVQ&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/onRbNsxRBVQ&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\n\n<strong>The Waterboy</strong>\nMay not have much rewatchability, but this movie served its purpose. It was the gridiron Happy Gilmore, and it accomplished what it set out to do. Before The Blind Side melted people’s hearts, this film was the highest grossing sports movie of all time.

Stallions? Willis and Wayans (the good one)? Halle Berry playing a stripper? Billy Blanks shooting people on the field? This movie has it all – solid banter and one-liners from Willis and Wayans, dramatic music and ultra-violence. It’s like a lost Die Hard movie with extra football references.

Maybe they shouldn’t be lumped together, but Bert Reynolds appears heavily in both, so to me they’re like the same movie.

It’s the story of Ernie Davis, the first African American player to win the Heisman trophy. Dennis Quaid plays Syracuse coach Ben Schwartzwalder, and Saul Rubinek is good as Art Modell. Kinda ridiculous to think that the Cleveland Browns could’ve had Ernie Davis and Jim Brown in the same backfield.\n\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/-gdiHS__LyQ&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/-gdiHS__LyQ&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\n\n<strong>Gus</strong>\nDon Knotts is the head coach of the L.A.

Johnny Utah plays Shane Falco, a washed up QB who lives on a boat, but can still fling it as a replacement player. Gene Hackman plays the coach with the straw hat who knows about heart. The underrated Brooke Langton is the hot cheerleader/bartendress who brings it all together.

Yea, I said it. The film portrayed Michael Oher as a jumbo moron whose super-sweet, inner-city innocence was matched only by his inability to comprehend the purpose of blocking. The whole thing just felt exploitative on too many levels. But hey, Sandra Bullock won an Academy Award for that accent, and that should count for something.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/i1hG_mjQojw&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/i1hG_mjQojw&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"> </embed></object>\r\n\r\n<strong>Heaven Can Wait</strong>\r\nIt’s hard for this generation to remember what a badass Warren Beatty used to be (it’s also hard to remember that the Rams once hailed from Los Angeles). This movie has to be one of Kurt Warner’s favorites – it’s got the Rams, the romance, an injured QB, a dude who uses his millions to do the right things and lots of angels and heaven and other Christian stuff.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/o4ZVb_l5zDc&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/o4ZVb_l5zDc&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"> </embed></object>\r\n\r\n<strong>Paper Lion</strong>\r\nFrom 1968, Paper Lion has Alan Alda playing sportswriter George Plimpton. Plimpton’s all about writing authentic sports pieces, so he convinces the Detroit Lions to let him attend training camp. As he struggles to learn the game and not get himself killed, Plimpton must also hide his true identity as an undercover journo. Hilarity and mutual respect ensue. This film features lots of NFL players and some awesome quotes from Vince Lombardi.\r\n\r\n<strong>Radio</strong>\r\nYea, Radio made the list. But why not, right? Ed Harris is a coach who really cares about football and making a difference. Cuba Gooding Jr. is a special person who loves listening to his radio and overcoming adversity. Spoiler alert: Ed Harris retires from coaching in the end, thus showing he cares more about making a difference than he does about football.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/Gca8-s097jA&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/Gca8-s097jA&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"> </embed></object>\r\n\r\n<strong>Lucas</strong>\r\nLucas is Corey Haim’s hit flick about geekiness, romance and football.

It’s the story of Ernie Davis, the first African American player to win the Heisman trophy. Dennis Quaid plays Syracuse coach Ben Schwartzwalder, and Saul Rubinek is good as Art Modell.

Johnny Utah plays Shane Falco, a washed up QB who lives on a boat, but can still fling it as a replacement player. Gene Hackman plays the coach with the straw hat who knows about heart. The underrated Brooke Langton is the hot cheerleader/bartendress who brings it all together. Hands down the best football movie with a choreographed Gloria Gaynor prison dance routine.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/4fan97hHZcM&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/4fan97hHZcM&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n\r\n<strong>Knute Rockne All American</strong>\r\nWatch it for the Gipper!\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/NIHNUt1gw7A&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/NIHNUt1gw7A&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n\r\n<strong>Any Given Sunday</strong>\r\nPretty sure this was Al Pacino’s last good movie.

As he struggles to learn the game and not get himself killed, Plimpton must also hide his true identity as an undercover journo. Hilarity and mutual respect ensue. This film features lots of NFL players and some awesome quotes from Vince Lombardi.\r\n\r\n<strong>Radio</strong>\r\nYea, Radio made the list. But why not, right? Ed Harris is a coach who really cares about football and making a difference. Cuba Gooding Jr. is a special person who loves listening to his radio and overcoming adversity. Spoiler alert: Ed Harris retires from coaching in the end, thus showing he cares more about making a difference than he does about football.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/Gca8-s097jA&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/Gca8-s097jA&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"> </embed></object>\r\n\r\n<strong>Lucas</strong>\r\nLucas is Corey Haim’s hit flick about geekiness, romance and football.

They\'re packed with real action and genuine inspiration. They\'re filled with raw emotions and extended montages. Football movies can change your life. They can teach you about love, teach you about success and they can even teach you a thing or two about yourself. Here are the top 25 football movies of all time, in order of awesomeness:\r\n\r\n<strong>25. The Blind Side</strong>\r\nTo be honest, this movie sucked. Yea, I said it. The film portrayed Michael Oher as a jumbo moron whose super-sweet, inner-city innocence was matched only by his inability to comprehend the purpose of blocking. The whole thing just felt so exploitative on too many levels. But hey, Sandra Bullock won an Academy Award for that accent, and that should count for something.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/i1hG_mjQojw&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/i1hG_mjQojw&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"> </embed></object>\r\n\r\n<strong>24. Heaven Can Wait</strong>\r\nIt’s hard for this generation to remember what a badass Warren Beatty used to be (it’s also hard to remember that the Rams once hailed from Los Angeles). This movie has to be one of Kurt Warner’s favorites – it’s got the Rams, the romance, an injured QB, a dude who uses his millions to do the right things and lots of angels and heaven and other Christian stuff.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/o4ZVb_l5zDc&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/o4ZVb_l5zDc&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"> </embed></object>\r\n\r\n<strong>23. Radio</strong>\r\nYea, Radio made the list. But why not, right? Ed Harris is a coach who really cares about football and making a difference. Cuba Gooding Jr. is a special person who loves listening to his radio and overcoming adversity. Spoiler alert: Ed Harris retires from coaching in the end, thus showing he cares more about making a difference than he does about football.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/Gca8-s097jA&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/Gca8-s097jA&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"> </embed></object>\r\n\r\n<strong>22. Lucas</strong>\r\nLucas is Corey Haim’s hit flick about geekiness, romance and how it all ties together with football. Haim is the weakling who can’t defend himself. Charlie Sheen is the standup captain of the football team who protects Haim. Everything changes when new girl Kerri Green arrives at school and the nerd and the jock battle for her affections.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/LgR0tF1XXRQ&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/LgR0tF1XXRQ&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"> </embed></object>\r\n\r\n<strong>21. Jerry Maguire</strong>\r\nThis movie seems kinda dated now. Although it’s starting to be okay to like Tom Cruise movies again, it’s hard to think back to a time when Renee Zellweger was attractive and Drew Beldose was the biggest thing in the NFL. Gushy love story and annoying spiky-haired kid aside, this film is still a worthy addition to the list.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/onRbNsxRBVQ&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/onRbNsxRBVQ&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"> </embed></object>\r\n\r\n<strong>20. The Waterboy</strong>\r\nMay not have much rewatchability, but this movie served its purpose. It was the gridiron Happy Gilmore, and it accomplished what it set out to do. Before The Blind Side melted people’s hearts, this film was the highest grossing sports movie of all time. Seriously.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/uGPYYnA6UD8&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/uGPYYnA6UD8&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n\r\n<strong>19. Johnny Be Good</strong>\r\nThis 80s classic stars AMH (Anthony Michael Hall), RDJ (Robert Downey Jr), a very young Uma Thurman and that hall monitor guy from the Breakfast Club. AMH is Johnny Walker, the most highly coveted high school football player in the country. When his high school playing days are over, Walker has to decide whether we wants to pursue his dream or give up everything to go to some crappy local college to be with his chick.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/wmeUpG2hXBE&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/wmeUpG2hXBE&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n\r\n<strong>18. Brian’s Song</strong>\r\nThis is the kinda film you watch when you need a good cry, but you just can’t stand to see Demi Moore with that ridiculous haircut in Ghost. Billy Dee plays Gale Sayers and James Caan is Brian Piccolo. The two guys get along swimmingly until Piccolo finds out he’s dying, and it’s just one big, true-story downer from there.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/Lnt-BqOjaTQ&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/Lnt-BqOjaTQ&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n\r\n<strong>17. Friday Night Lights</strong>\r\nIt\'s not quite as good as Varsity Blues and not as memorable as Remember the Titans, but Friday Night Lights (or as it’s known in Germany, <a href=\"http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friday_Night_Lights_%E2%80%93_Touchdown_am_Freitag\" target=\"_blank\">Touchdown am Freitag</a>) is a serviceable teenage football flick that makes use of Billy Bob Thornton and a bunch of teenage actors I can’t remember to showcase the local obsession/expectations of a Texas High School football team in the late 80s.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/Qzyp4qOW0F0&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/Qzyp4qOW0F0&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n\r\n<strong>16. Gridiron Gang</strong>\r\nThe Rock takes a bunch of prison punks and uses football to teach them about self-respect and responsibility. True story premise makes the stale formula a bit more inspiring.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/fToHmc4sHjk&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/fToHmc4sHjk&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n\r\n<strong>15. The Longest Yard</strong>\r\nYea, I know they made two of ‘em. Maybe they shouldn’t be lumped together, but Burt Reynolds appears heavily in both, so to me they’re like the same movie. The first one doesn’t have Chris Rock or Terry Crews stuffin\' burgers down his pants, so I think the edge goes to the remake. And good gad damn,  Courtney Cox looks way too hot in this movie.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/SpuLoSTcGRs&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/SpuLoSTcGRs&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n\r\n<strong>14. All the Right Moves</strong>\r\nWe’ve all faced the difficult choice of pursuing our football dreams or working in the local steel mill. Well, Tom Cruise ain’t about to work in no steel mill. So instead, he uses all the right moves to show Coach Craig T. Nelson what’s what.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/eS5MtPXo13k&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/eS5MtPXo13k&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n\r\n<strong>13. We Are Marshall</strong>\r\nSuper-inspirational movie that would have been way better without McConaughey (who – spoiler alert – plays Coach Matthew McConaughey in the film). Still a crazy true story that scores pretty high on the inspirmotional meter.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/ocOiIdnlsjw&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/ocOiIdnlsjw&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n\r\n<strong>12. Invincible</strong>\r\nYea, it’s a Disney movie, but it’s got a Wahlberg brother in it so you know it’s worth watching. Greg Kinear as a young Dick Vermeil was a nice touch, too.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/Aux_hRJYED8&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/Aux_hRJYED8&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n\r\n<strong>11. The Express</strong>\r\nHere’s another Disney movie that’s still worth your time. It’s the story of Ernie Davis, the first African American player to win the Heisman trophy. Dennis Quaid plays Syracuse coach Ben Schwartzwalder, and Saul Rubinek is good as Art Modell. Kind of ridiculous to think that the Cleveland Browns could’ve had Ernie Davis and Jim Brown in the same backfield...\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/-gdiHS__LyQ&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/-gdiHS__LyQ&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n\r\n<strong>10. School Ties</strong>\r\nAntisemitism is best served… on a football field! Brendan Frasier is just one of the guys - going to an elite prep school, playin’ ball and <a href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AYh386SHVU\" target=\"_blank\">singin’ with boys in his PJs</a>.  But what Cole Hauser, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck don’t know is that Brendan Frasier is a Jew. They find out. Maturity ensues.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/_9NyfV1QsrU&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/_9NyfV1QsrU&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n\r\n<strong>9. The Last Boy Scout</strong>\r\nDude, the L.A. Stallions? Willis and Wayans (the good one) on the same screen? Halle Berry playing a stripper? Billy Blanks shooting people on the field? This movie has it all – solid banter and one-liners from Willis and Wayans, dramatic, tell-all villains and lots of ultra-violence. It’s like a lost Die Hard movie with extra football references. Well worth watching again if it’s been awhile. Best intro scene ever:\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/VVrsGHs2MCk&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/VVrsGHs2MCk&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n\r\n<strong>8. The Replacements</strong>\r\nDon’t let anyone tell you this movie isn’t awesome. Johnny Utah plays Shane Falco, a washed up QB who lives on a boat, but can still fling it as a replacement player. Gene Hackman plays the coach with the straw hat who knows about heart. Massively underrated Brooke Langton is the hot cheerleader/bartendress who brings it all together. Hands down the best football movie with a choreographed Gloria Gaynor prison dance routine.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/4fan97hHZcM&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/4fan97hHZcM&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n\r\n<strong>7. Knute Rockne All American</strong>\r\nBefore Rudy, this was the last film to be shot at Notre Dame. If you don\'t enjoy this film, you don\'t like America. Ronald Reagan, the human embodiment of freedom, really shows off his range in this movie. If for no other reason, watch this one for the Gipper!\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/NIHNUt1gw7A&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/NIHNUt1gw7A&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n\r\n<strong>6. Any Given Sunday</strong>\r\nThis film was made to showcase the real realness of the NFL, and it was made by Oliver Stone so it\'s gotta be true. Pretty sure this was Al Pacino’s last good movie. Think about it. He did not-so-bad with that recent HBO Jack Kevorkian thing, but Al’s made some very trash films over the last decade or so. I think it\'s the yelling. The older he got, the more he sounded like a Pacino impersonation.

AMH is Johnny Walker, the most highly coveted high school football player in the country. When his high school playing days are over, Walker has to decide whether we wants to pursue his dream or give up everything to go to some crappy local college to be with his chick.\n\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/wmeUpG2hXBE&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/wmeUpG2hXBE&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"> </embed></object>\n\n<strong>The Blind Side</strong>\nTo be honest, this movie sucked. Yea, I said it. The film portrayed Michael Oher as a jumbo moron whose super-sweet, inner-city innocence was matched only by his inability to comprehend the purpose of blocking. The whole thing just felt so exploitative on too many levels.

But why not, right? Ed Harris is a coach who really cares about football and making a difference. Cuba Gooding Jr. is a special person who loves listening to his radio and overcoming adversity.

Although it’s starting to be okay to like Tom Cruise movies again, it’s hard to think back to a time when Renee Zellweger was attractive and Drew Beldose was the biggest thing in the NFL.

This movie has it all – solid banter and one-liners from Willis and Wayans, dramatic, tell-all villains and lots of ultra-violence. It’s like a lost Die Hard movie with extra football references.

Maybe they shouldn’t be lumped together, but Bert Reynolds appears heavily in both, so to me they’re like the same movie.

Gud want kick the ball until he hears the magic word -- Oy-etch!\n\n<strong>The Replacements</strong>\n\nDon’t let anyone tell you this movie isn’t awesome. Johnny Utah plays Shane Falco, a washed up QB who lives on a boat, but can still fling it as a replacement player. Gene Hackman plays the coach with the straw hat who knows about heart. Massively underrated Brooke Langton is the hot cheerleader/bartendress who brings it all together.

Yea, I said it. The film portrayed Michael Oher as a jumbo moron whose super-sweet, inner-city innocence was matched only by his inability to comprehend the purpose of blocking. The whole thing just felt so exploitative on too many levels.

This movie has it all – solid banter and one-liners from Willis and Wayans, dramatic, tell-all villains and lots of ultra-violence. It’s like a lost Die Hard movie with extra football references.

Maybe they shouldn’t be lumped together, but Bert Reynolds appears heavily in both, so to me they’re like the same movie. The first one doesn’t have Chris Rock or Terry Crews stuffin\' burgers down his pants, so I think the edge goes to the remake.

It’s the story of Ernie Davis, the first African American player to win the Heisman trophy. Dennis Quaid plays Syracuse coach Ben Schwartzwalder, and Saul Rubinek is good as Art Modell. Kind of ridiculous to think that the Cleveland Browns could’ve had Ernie Davis and Jim Brown in the same backfield...\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/-gdiHS__LyQ&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/-gdiHS__LyQ&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n\r\n<strong>Gus</strong>\r\nDon Knotts is the head coach of the L.A. Atoms, and only a mule from Yugoslavia named Gus can help his team’s kicking game. Gus and his loveable foreign handler Andy use long distance field goals to win their way into our hearts. Ed Asner, Dick van Patten and Tim Conway are in there too. The best thing about this movie... Gud want kick the ball until he hears the magic word -- Oy-etch!\r\n\r\n<strong>The Replacements</strong>\r\n\r\nDon’t let anyone tell you this movie isn’t awesome. Johnny Utah plays Shane Falco, a washed up QB who lives on a boat, but can still fling it as a replacement player. Gene Hackman plays the coach with the straw hat who knows about heart. Massively underrated Brooke Langton is the hot cheerleader/bartendress who brings it all together. Hands down the best football movie with a choreographed Gloria Gaynor prison dance routine.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/4fan97hHZcM&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/4fan97hHZcM&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n\r\n<strong>Knute Rockne All American</strong>\r\nBefore Rudy, this was the last film to be shot at Notre Dame.

Pretty sure this was Al Pacino’s last good movie. Think about it. He did not-so-bad with that recent HBO Jack Kevorkian thing, but Al’s made some very trash films over the last decade or so.
