The Bobcat Nation

This thread will likely die early, but after reading the "thanks" thread, I felt compelled to inquire about which movie bobcat nation feels is the best football movie of all time.
So feel free to discuss....or not....

As for me: The Program

necessary roughness....

1) North Dallas Forty
2) The Blind Side
3) The Longest Yard

Remember the Titans!

Waterboy

Rudy
(but consideration for The Program and Necessary Roughness)

Remember the Titans.

I would have to go with RUDY. It is a true story about a great young man. All other Football movies are fake compared to RUDY!!!

Rudy is my favorite.

The Program, Remember the Titans, and what the hell, The Replacements.

Rudy.

and I don't want to hear any crap BAC

Those are all good. My new favorite is actually the documentary "The Boys of Fall."

Brian's Song

Rudy, Blind Side, Any Given Sunday, Longest Yard, and They Call Me Sirr (not well known but an amazing movie)

No love for Friday Night Lights?

naughty cheerleaders 7

Friday Night Lights is probably near the top, but there really isn't a football movie that I really like. Just my thoughts.

#4.Rudy


The Hollywood Version:
It seems that back in the '70s, there was a plucky little football player who dreamed of nothing other than playing for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. Unfortunately for young Rudy, his support system consisted of people who went out of their way to point out his flaws, of which there were many, and let him know repeatedly that dreams are the main ingredient in the devil's pudding.

Thankfully, Rudy's best friend from back home got blown right the ****** up in a freak accident, inspiring him to play football for some reason. And play he did, no thanks to the evil scheming of Notre Dame coach Dan Devine, who only allowed Rudy on the field after the entire team threatened to walk out otherwise.

In reality ...
The real life Dan Devine was actually the one who insisted on playing Rudy in his final game. Hell, even when the movie was being made, Devine gave the filmmakers permission to turn him into the film's villain in order to help Rudy, who he considered a good friend.

Devine sounds like one helluva guy, right? So naturally he was repaid for his kindnesses by being turned into the Snidely ****** Whiplash of college football (sans mustache), and forever being remembered as the crotchety coach to whom winning football games was more important than anything. Anything other than ensuring that Rudy's dream would die.


By the way, ever wonder who saw Rudy play that day and got so inspired he just had to make it into a movie? Nobody. It was Rudy himself who spent a full decade trying to convince studios that his life was so awesome it deserved a movie, before one of them finally relented. That's the spirit, little guy!
