1980s-1990s High School Football Movies

can anyone recommend some high school football movies, ones with more of a light-hearted theme than serious? i have seen most recent ones, but i am looking for older ones, 1980s and 1990s maybe. football doesn't have to necessarily be the entire plot, but it should be a large part.

i am thinking of movies along the lines of:

Angus (1995)
Lucas (1986)
Varsity Blues (1999)
Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982) (minor plotline.)
Johnny Be Good (1988)
Little Giants (1994) (not high school, but close enough.)
Wildcats (1986)

not dramas like All the Right Moves (1983) or Friday Night Lights (2004), and not pro or college teams.

anyone have any i left off?

thanks.

You're welcome. It's pretty good; has its moments. Let me know how it turns out. 👍

Hello,
I know this one might be too old to be of interest for you (pre-1980), but it's a true classic of the "genre":
Bad News Bears (1976)!
