I know there are others that should be on this list, but ran out of poll options.
OT: Poll :which one of these football movies did you like the best?
- Thread starter Pennstate4life
- Start date
Paul Blake was that QB that got away from Joe - could have put PSU over the top.
Isn't The Blind Side based on the true story of Michael Oher?
HEY !!!! What about *The Best of Times*... Reno Hightower was a hell of a QB
You missed the best one imho - North Dallas Forty
It's based on the book based on the story of Michael Oher.
That's if you believe these wealthy Ole Miss boosters just took in a young boy because he was nice and invited them into their family.
It was a sort of joke.

Also, Johnny Be Good is probably the only movie about football recruiting out there. Has a very young Uma Thurman and an appearance by a Penn State recruiter too...

One big omission. Something For Joey.
At the close of Heisman Trophy ceremony in December 1973, Venerable Fulton J. Sheen, well-known because of his radio and TV apostolate, provided the final words:
Tonight, for perhaps the first time in your lives, you have heard a speech from the heart, rather than from the lips. You have heard too that triumph is made from sorrow. That John was made in part by Joseph. I was supposed to pronounce the blessing at this point. But you do not need a blessing tonight. God has blessed you, in the person of John Cappelletti.

Anyone on this board who doesn't agree can go back to the Lair.
Look at those field conditions. Modern day we would have at least 5,000 posts about drainage, turf repair and how the conditions benefited the home team.

I went with Rudy, the only thing that sucks about that movie is it happens at Notre Dame. I do like the story behind Remember the Titans but the dialog in it and some of the other things that had nothing to do with the story make it hard to watch sometimes.
6-2 Stack Monster, 6-2 stack Monster, ready, break!
at the end of the day, isnt Napoleon Dynamite a football movie??
It's not necessarily a football movie.....but before every football season I enjoy watching "The Fortune Cookie" with Jack Lemmon and Walter Matheau. For some reason, gets me pumped for football.
Voted for "Remember the Titans" One of those movies that when I see it on the listings, I can't go past.
I pt in a plug for "We Are Marshall"
My favorite character in all these movies is Billy Bob, the "heavy set" offensive lineman in "Varsity Blues". Had his pet pig, Bacon, in the truck, driving to school eating a rolled up pancake and sucking maple syrup from the squeeze bottle. Got to love the writer who thought of all this.

Yes and no. It was the Disneyfication of Oher.......book wasn't bad but her husband who had a very significant role in the whole thing was basically a nothing in the movie. I have a real problem when movies like this ,the Express and Secretariat (gawd awful) get Disneyfied
HOLY CRAP!!!! I take back my vote for Rudy. You need to add INVINCEABLE to that list!!
We are Marshall. Should have been on the original list. I don’t think most kids have even seen The Program. I remember when it came out a couple of kids died reenacting the scene in the street. But I don’t know the last time I saw that it was on. Many of these others are on fairly often.
