football movies are the best sports flicks


from what i have seen, they always have the best character development and acting and the on-the field tension is always as exciting as the off-the field tension.

Friday Night Lights
The Program
Any Given Sunday

As a writer I am inclined to agree:

Remember The Titans
Rudy
We Are Marshall

They do a wonderful job of character development and acting, and I never fail to be riveted by the game sequences.

Brian's Song is a movie that is awesome!!!

I have to disagree because I prefer boxing movies.
Raging Bull
Million Dollar Baby
Rocky Series

"I heard things." Robert De Niro as Jake La Motta (Raging Bull)

How could you put the Rocky Series in with Ragin Bull, Million Dollar Baby. Both are great movies, but I would put Cinderella Man and The Hurricane ahead of the Rocky Series. Only Rocky I and Rocky II are worth mentioning.

I have never seen The Hurricane and I forgot about Cinderella Man

Love RUDY, which I consider the male version of the ultimate "chick flick." REMEMBER THE TITANS was OK, but I didn't really care for WE ARE MARSHALL at all.

Actually haven't seen We Are Marshall, but the story in terms of the way the trailers portrayed it was appealing.

Olympic Champions should push the boundaries of their sport. Evgeni Plushenko is one such athlete.

(that goes for any champion, not just Olympic :))

The trailer for WE ARE MARSHALL is much better than the movie itself.
