Coach Gary Gaines: Being perfect is not about that scoreboard out there. It's not about winning. It's about you and your relationship with yourself, your family and your friends. Being perfect is about being able to look your friends in the eye and know that you didnt let them down because you told them the truth. And that truth is you did everything you could. There wasnt one more thing you could've done. Can you live in that moment as best you can, with clear eyes, and love in your heart, with joy in your heart? If you can do that gentleman - you're perfect(Friday Night Lights)...Best football movie ever...end of story

[dannyj]

i think remember the titans was the best one then the longest yard

what about north dallas 40?

North Dallas 40 would have had my vote if it had been listed.  It was excellent!  "Any Given Sunday," while cinematographically better, was done before in the form of "North Dallas 40."

-------------------------

Bleachers by Grisham would have made a better movie than Friday Night Lights.  Perhaps someone will make it in to a movie someday.

-------------------------

Friday Night Lights was a better book than movie.  The movie just didn't capture the essence of the book, it was poorly done when with better screenwriting and direction it could have been very good drama.

------------------------

Where was "Everybody's All American" in the poll?  Another one that would have had my vote!  Made in 1988 and starring Dennis Quaid, Jessica Lange, John Goodman and Timothy Hutton, its story is about a Louisiana football legend struggling to deal with life's complexities after his college career is over.  This was a great football movie too.

[dannyj]

Remember the Titans is my favorite movie between those movies

[Super Scrapper]

While many of them are really good movies and are entertaining.  "Brian's Song" is REAL.

It is a true story about a REAL football player.  One of the greatest of all time, and his

best friend, their trials and eventual death.  How can this not be the #1 of all time?  This

is no Fairy Tale and has no fancy end zone dance crap.  It is simply the BEST.  SS

"Brian's Song" was good!  Forgot about that one.  And, like you say SS, it was true.

[Texarkana_Piggie]

i loved everybody's all american.  great movie.  i also loved the book bleachers.  i read that last summer then i saw varsity blues for the first time a few weeks ago.  i saw shades of varsity blues in bleachers.  brian's song is a great movie too.  it's so heart breaking though, i sometimes don't really see it as a "football" movie.  it was just a great movie period.

[dannyj]

are they coming out with any more football movies

[Guetz]

are they coming out with any more football movies

[sarcasm] No, its a shop worn subject in which there is no more interest.  They are also going to stop making baseball movies, sad movies about horses and little girls, comedies about odd pairings of seemingly opposite personality types, rags to riches movies, sequels to Halloween and Nightmare on Elm Street and Hellraiser and any movies dealing with aliens, demonic possession and precocious kids in precarious positions or CGI cartoon movies about "oh so cute" little critters in crazy, contrived patch work plots.  All of those themes are just too worked over to ever garner a reasonable audience again.  So sorry, no more football movies.... ever.[/sarcasm]*

I feel like I'm following you around on the board right now.


I love sarcasm.  It gets me.  Therefore, I'm going to provide the above post with a bit of praise.
