Let's face it...the Super Bowl was just awful and the Alliance of American Football isn’t exactly setting the world on fire. What to do? How does a football fan pass the time until pre-season kicks off again? How about football movies? Here’s a list of the Top 20, as judged by someone who thinks their opinion has more weight than yours...
20 “Friday Night Lights” (2004) – Before it was a TV show, it was a movie.
19 “The Waterboy” (1998) – Funny, whether you want to admit it or not.
18 “The Replacements” (2000) – Hackman & Reeves make it ok to root for those who cross the picket line.
17 “Concussion” (2015) – If for no other reason than it’s fun to say “Tell The Truth” to people afterwards for no reason.
16 “The Blind Side” (2009) – Sandra Bullock won an Oscar for it.
15 “Paper Lion” (1968) – Alan Alda tries to become a QB for the Lions.
14 “Invincible” (2006) – Very watchable underdog story of Vince Papale as an Eagles walk-on.
13 “Big Fan” (2009) – Creepy, hilarious, and under-rated with Patton Oswalt.
12 “Brian’s Song” (1971) – You dad wept his eyes out to this one.
11 “Semi-Tough” (1977) – The book’s better, but it’s a good “bro” movie.
10 “We Are Marshall” (2006) – Matthew McConaughey finds his depth.
9 “All The Right Moves” (1983) – Tom Cruise is just impossibly young.
8 “Any Given Sunday” (1999) – Fun and gripping, though implausible.
7 “Remember The Titans” (2000) – Everything’s better with Denzel.
6 “Silver Linings Playbook” (2012) – Football’s the background for a much deeper story.
5 “North Dallas Forty” (1979) – Violence and sex…perfect for the 70s.
4 “The Freshman” (1925) – Funny, classic slapstick.
3 “The Longest Yard” (1974) – Just ignore the Sandler version.
2 “Heaven Can Wait” (1978) – Warren Beatty at his non-political and non-preachy best.
1 “Rudy” (1993) – If your eyes don’t well-up, you’re a stone-hearted freak!
