OT-Best football movies

While looking for something to watch while waiting for the rain delay to end for the AAC T&F championship, I started watching “We Are Marshall”. Very good movie. Got me to thinking of which football movies are the best. Below is a pretty good list. My only real disagreement is “The Waterboy”, it is a better comedy than football movie.

It’s cheating, but I would throw the tv series of Friday Night Lights in there.

I agree with several listed….I’ll throw in 12 Mighty Orphans.

Draft Day is a guilty pleasure. So much wrong with it, but never miss it when it comes on.

I’ll toss this one out there that most people won’t think of, but I still watch it when it comes on the telly. Heaven Can Wait, with Warren Beaty, Julie Christie (ooh la la), James Mason and Dyan Cannon (another ooh la la).

Very underrated.

A buddy of mine was going to Notre Dame when Rudy was filming….got to be an extra.

Said Sean Astin was quite a jerk.

Rudy, Friday Night Lights, Varsity Blues, Remember the Titans, Little Giants.

What was the movie about the Texas longhorns or the Texas a&m aggies, i cant remember. Its set in the early 1900s, and the movie takes place during a brutal summer training camp.
