Since football season has started it got me thinking what are people’s favorite football movies. Also, my oldest son is playing jr. High football so we have watched a few recently.

Rudy
Remember the Titans

Haven’t shown him but:
Varsity Blues
The Program
Necessary Roughness

All of those are great.


I'd add Invincible to that list. Friday Night Lights, both the movie and TV show, as well.

Gridiron Gang is pretty good as well.

Was coming to say this. We should probably just leave it in our late time capsule brain how we liked it when we saw it. lol

My boys love The Waterboy. I forgot about We Are Marshall.

HBO has been showing Invincible so I should be able to catch that one.

The Replacements.

Love the John Madden scene where they make the botched TD try to look like a scripted play using his marker and trademarked football sounds

We Are Marshall is the one that holds up best over time IMO.

Matthew McConaughey's speech at the graveyard always gets me.

This is a really good movie.

I still think Rudy is the GOAT football movie though.

All those emotions at the end when he finally gets into the game. That is unmatched. Jon Favreau: "He's so little!!!"
