What about "Bend It Like Beckham" and "The United" ?

You know, REAL FOOTBALL, where they use their feet to move the ball.

Dude, have you ever watched Football in your entire life? “Friday Night Lights,” really? I can assure you football began well before 2006. It is quite obvious from your choices of “Rudy” and “The Last Boy Scout” that you didn’t put much thought into your article. Prisco I’m going to have to give this article 1 and a half stars on a scale of 1 to 5 with 5 being the highest.

"Rudy?" Are you fucking kidding me? That's like calling "Top Secret" one of the ten best movies about World War II.

How about "We Are Marshall" instead? Or "The Express?" Or "Everybody's All-American?" Or "North Dallas Forty?"

I mean, really. Whiskey. Tango. Foxtrot.

Oh, wait...I get it. This is irony.

But what the hell is a "FUMBLIYA?"

I was glad to see the Vikings lose last night. I hate the Vikings. The only bad part about last night, however, was that the Saints won. I don't like them much either.

I hate pretty much every NFL team, except for the Lions (sadly, my team) and the Browns (thanks to my mom's side of the family). It's not my fault. After the last 10 years with the Lions my NFL heart is a black, twisted dry husk of a thing. It knows only spite and anger. There is no joy in it. It only wants to see the NFL teams and their fans suffer as it has suffered.

As of right now, however, there is a special dark, decript little hole in my heart for the Chicago Bears. Not only are they annoying because they are the Bears and, like all other NFC North teams, beat the Lions consistently and badly, but they also have Rod Marinelli and Mike Martz. The Architects of my most painful yet of my many humiliations as a Lions' fan: The 0-16 season. Fuck those guys.

Hell yes. I'm so glad you included The Last Boy Scout on this list. "We're getting beaten up by the inventor of Scrabble!"

Man, you people are super bitchy today.

I'm glad that's why I come to this site.

I just fucking realized that Flash Gordon isn't on this list.

Bush league, sir. Bush league.

Suited up and ready to play, coach!

What about Johnny B. Good starring Anthony Michael Hall and Robert Downey?

Friendless...it's a reference to Necessary Roughness

"It's a Fumble. Fumblaya! Fumble-rooski. Sargie "Fumblina" Wilkerson fumbles the ball."

Any list of football movies that doesn't have The Longest Yard as #1 is invalid.

Yeah, PissBoy, I got it. I was being a dick.

North Dallas Forty belongs on the list.
"Every time we say its a game you say it's a business. Every time we say it's a business you say it's a game."

Yup that's pro-football.

fino35: THANK YOU! I was sitting here racking my brain trying to remember the title of The Program. That one kicked ass. Mainly because someone was dumb enough to do what Craig Sheffer did in the movie (lay down on a highway I think) and get his ass perished.

What about "The Best of Times" with Kurt Russell and Robin Williams. I liked that one a lot.

GUYS REMEMBER THE TITANS WHY IS IT NOT NUMBER ONE

Holy crap do football movies ever suck. Leatherheads could've made this list and nobody would've thought twice.

"I love Brian Piccolo, and when you hit your knees tonight, ask god to love him too..." T. Servo

Ok, So the fact that Big Fan isn't on here shows a careless disregard, not for football movies, but for rat in parking structure movies.

Lions and Red Wings? Let's see how that works out for y'all this year.

Now, now ... don't blame Prisco for the wrong video. That was my doing. I put the trailers together hastily, and on mute, because my son was sleeping next to me, because it's a Jewish holiday, and he attends a Jewish preschool, and I had to take care. So, we all know where the real blame lies: Mel Gibson.

Also: I'm totally not changing it now. Spite. It's a beautiful thing.

Kudos to Rubble44 as I find your list to be an improvement. Not saying Prisco did a bad list but aside from there already hammered over North Dallas, which might be the most love that film has seen in years.

But in defense of Last Boy Scout:

The opening scene where Billy Cole shoots his way down the field is the second best single play ever filmed. (Only the final play in the Longest Yard bests it)

Plus there is as much actual football played in TLBS as there was in Jerry Maguire but there probably more football themes in the Last Boy Scout, with legalizing gambling on football games being the main motivations for the villian.

So while I would put it in my top ten, it's a cheesiest enough movie that I could see why others would not, but The Last Boy Scout is a football movie.

What about "Invincible"? That's American Football isn't it? Hard to say when I hardly see the players use their feet :-)

"I love Brian Piccolo, and when you hit your knees tonight, ask god to love him too..." T. Servo

It's sort of a.....modern "Defiant Ones"!

Hey! Chickenhead!

And how DARE you rank "Wildcats" so low!!

No this list is right. I was worried because I didn't see Rudy or Friday Night Lights...but there they are: Number 2 and 1 respectively. As it should be.

North Dallas Forty, Yo!

Every real football fan knows this one is the deal.

"Dammit! Every time I say it's a game you say it's a business and when I say it's a business you say it's a game."

Heh, "School Ties" was on the other night and I stopped and watched it, the whole thing, and when it ended, I thought, That's it? Seemed like we were only in the second act or something.

Anyway, it's hard to find 10 football movies worth watching ("Any Given Sunday" is awful) just like it's hard to name 10 really good football writers: Because football is fucking boring as shit in a toilet.

The best line in a kids football movie, maybe any football movie.

Harry Shearer On the opening kick-off, after the holder is kicked in the crotch by the kicker

OH! Somebody's holding a pound of Aunt Betty's nut butter, and that's a live ball!

First time I heard that, I rewound the tape like 5 times...(back then, we had tapes)....couldn't believe that line was said in a kids movie. Hee larious.

BTW, I wouldn't say fuck you to Prisco, he's a drinking buddy. Just next time there's a sports related poll, drop me a line first so Air Bud isn't the best basketball movie over Hoosiers or Hardball with Keanu Reeves beats out The Natural, Bull Durham or Field of Dreams in baseball. I'll set you straight, boss. Heck, I want to do a best sports movie post right now.

I've sadly never seen North Dallas Forty, but until I do The Longest Yard has to be at the top of my list of football movies. Rudy is pap and Friday Night Lights... it was alright, but it was just a little after school special for me. Also I feel like for all his play at being a hard-nosed story chaser, Bissinger really has a penchant for over-dramatizing and glorifying things. Plus I have a natural dislike for dramatizations of true stories; it's almost always "wow, look at what these people went through," or "look how amazing these coincidences were." I like seeing how a writer's mind works in how they tell their story. If it's a true event, I'd rather see a doc or read about it.

Come on man, INVINCIBLE is fucking awesome. Boo this list.

What about Fast Times at Ridgemont High? What about the New Guy?
