Might have been better in the off season but just wanted to see what you all think is the best football themed movie ever.

My hands down pick is The Best of Times with Kurt Russel and Robin Williams. It is set in the area I grew up in, its hilarious and pretty much sums up the football at all costs mentality I grew up around.

The Longest Yard, original.

Loved that movie as a kid. Burt Reynolds drilling the CO in the nards was one of the greatest cinematic moments ever in my young mind. Maybe they do another remake but with Maziel as Crewe

I think i gotta say remember the titans. Rudy is close. I only saw it once shortly after it came out but the Express was a real good one too

I don't really consider Rudy a football movie. So, I'll go with Remember the Titans.

Just because I don't think it's ever really mentioned, I love the movie Radio.

This X 1000000000000000000

Saw it for the first time in Theology class last spring. Fantastic movie, not sure why it's didn't get more critical acclaim.

I'll have to check Radio out. Never bothered with Remeber the Titans. I'll have to check that out too. Seriously though. Watch The Best of Times. This movie captures Cali football in the Central Valley to a tee and dispels the misconceptions of California being all Hollywood and palm trees and is funny to boot.

Rudy not a football movie?

You just summed up your entire sorry career here in one sentence! If you had a tenth of the heart Ruettiger, you'd have made All-American by now! As it is, you just went from third team to prep team! Get out of here!
