What is your all time favorite football movie? Why do you enjoy it?


"Longest Yard" -- "I think I broke his ****** neck."

[TheKey]

My Favorite football movie is:



The Dallas Cowboys: A complete history 1960-2003
2 disc set

or


Dallas Cowboys: How the east was won.

[Hostile]

My all time favorite is Brian's Song. The original by the way. There is just something about it that makes it a great story. The fact that it is true just makes it even better.

You have 2 rookies struggling to make it together. To defeat racial tensions then overcome so much. Just an all around great movie.

Remember the Titans is a very close 2nd for me.

[BrownSugar]

Remember the Titans is my favorite on that list, because I absolutely love everything that Denzel Washington is in....I also like The Program, especially the part that they took out of the movie, where the guys lay down in the middle of the street...

Good idea, Hos!

I'm with you on Denzel. One of 3 actors/actresses that I think everything they do is top notch.

[BrAinPaiNt]

"Longest Yard" -- "I think I broke his ****** neck."


Love it too....such a great movie.

[Yeagermeister]

The Replacements

Madden: I love it when a fat scores
Summerall: Why?
Madden: First you get a fat guy dance then you get a fat guy spike.

[Yeagermeister]

I'm with you on Denzel. One of 3 actors/actresses that I think everythign they do is top notch.

He's had a few stiffs like all actors but for the most part he's great.

[BrownSugar]

He's had a few stiffs like all actors but for the most part he's great.
And what might those be :p ??

[Duane]

He's had a few stiffs like all actors but for the most part he's great.
When the two guys shoot up the other QBs car is absolute movie gold...My personal fave is The Longest Yard though.

[TheSkaven]

My Favorite football movie is:

The Dallas Cowboys: A complete history 1960-2003
2 disc set


Speaking of which.. the Cowboys 2003 yearbook is finally coming, it's on the NFL Network this year (channel 212) at 8:30am EST on 7/5/04.

I voted for the Waterboy though Longest Yard is a close second. Waterboy was just an excellent all around flick.

[Hostile]

"Longest Yard" -- "I think I broke his ****** neck."
I love this movie too. My favorite scene is where the guy asks if he gets to hit the walking boss. I also like the wreslting match in the swamp where they are filling each other's boots and pants with mud. The broken neck scene is an all time classic. X-rays of the guards injuries so they can focus on them is just great too.

I had a gut feeling this movie would win, and that few if any would vote for North Dallas Forty.

[Hostile]

Anyone taking odds that Ben_n_Austin's favorite is Knute Rockne All American?

:D

[Rude]

Most people hate it, but I like it........ Any Given Sunday. Then the Program. and then the movie named after me ;) Rudy

[JBRockBottom31]

those movies rocked!

[LaTunaNostra]

Quarterback Princess.

For obvious reaaons.

[BrownSugar]

Most people hate it, but I like it........ Any Given Sunday. Then the Program. and then the movie named after me ;) Rudy
I liked Any Given Sunday, too....Willie Beamin!!

[TruBlueCowboy]

What? No one liked this movie? :D

One of my favorite scenes in a comedy is when the prison team gets off the bus to scrimmage the college team and the prison players are all NFL Hall of Famers like Randy White. BTW, that movie was shot north of Dallas too.

[Boom]

And what might those be :p ??

Virtuosity was pretty bad.

[Rude]

I liked Any Given Sunday, too....Willie Beamin!!

My name is Willie........ Willie Beamin lol. I like that song :D

[Hostile]

What? No one liked this movie? :D
I love that movie. My favorite scene is where he meets his roomate, the great big Samoan guy. "My name is Manu Manu, it means runt of the litter. The men in my family are very large."

[Tio]

Titans

"ya killin me petey, ya killin me!!"

[Yeagermeister]

I love that movie. My favorite scene is where he meets his roomate, the great big Samoan guy. "My name is Manu Manu, it means runt of the litter. The men in my family are very large."
and Rob Scheinder calling him Manu Manu the slender

and Kathy Ireland racking the guy and saying "welcome to foot balls" and then him screaming like a little girl

and my other fav line....Sinbad "It's time to patay"!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

[BrownSugar]

Virtuosity was pretty bad.
So what, :p , he still looked good!!

I keep the ladies.....creamin

Except for the nasty rickey williams dreads lol

[TruBlueCowboy]

http://www.amber-net.de/img/dvd/cover/v/virtuosity.jpg

I actually liked Virtuosity. I dig any Denzell movie. That dude is so intense, he could play a janitor and I'd still think he was in the jungles of Nam.

[BrAinPaiNt]

The Replacements

Madden: I love it when a fat scores
Summerall: Why?
Madden: First you get a fat guy dance then you get a fat guy spike.


Oh...forgot about that one....that movie is pretty funny.

The kicker just kills me.

I was goin to mention this one. May be a bit embarrassing, but I enjoyed it. I liked Any Given Sunday, but the eyeball scene just ruined it for me. I think Oliver Stone could use a good kick to the head.

If I were a ND fan then Rudy would be up there, but I'm not so...


From the list, I'd go with Brain's Song. Good movie.

[ABQCOWBOY]

Brian's Song.

1971 version. James Caan and Billy Dee Williams.

[DallasCowpoke111]

Without a doubt, "Brian's Song" w/ James Caan and ("The Denzel" b4 there was a Denzel) Billy Dee Wiliams , not to mention Abe Gibron, Jack Concannon, Ed O'Bradovich, Dick Butkus and Harold 'Happy' Hairston.

... There's not even a close second!!

[blindzebra]

Tu's coaches line at the end of North Dallas 40 was classic.

I thought Remember the Titans was too syruppy, it was trying too hard to pull at your heart strings. Rudy with racial tensions.

Any given Sunday was terrible. Stone was taking some serious medication during filming. Let's have 3 million close ups, he managed to make Cameron Diaz look bad.

The longest Yard in a landslide.

[DallasCowpoke111]

Ohhhh, wait.... I FORGOT this one....!!!!













http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B00007GZZU.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg

Disregard my earlier statements.

:p

Don Knotts always made me laugh...But that was not one of his funnier ones IMO.

[Rude]

We also forgot little giants :p

[cowboy101]

I am an Any Given Sunday movie lover

[stag hunter]

what about MASH??

my favorite was the longest yard. for NFL documentaries, i think the best ever done was "75 seasons of the nfl" back in 94-95. I can never get tired of watching that.

[ABQCOWBOY]

Bingo Long Traveling All Stars and Motor Kings.

Not a real sophisticated production but I liked it. Thought it was funny.

It is but what the hey, if I can't bait and switch on this board.........

[BulletBob]

As much as I hate ND, Rudy is my favorite.

By the way, what's wrong with you guys?

All the Right Moves doesn't make the list?

Did any of you guys play High School Football?

The sheot-faced Tom Cruise soliloquy at the party is a classic, "... and on the seventh day, they all played football. 6-2 STACK MONSTER; 6-2 STACK MONSTER !!!!"

Lea Thompson in the flesh? Fugetaboudit!

Pervert ;)

How about the cheerleader scene in the Replacements where they do that act to make the opposing team mess up :eek:

The coach yelling at the ref.....She was smacking the other girls....

[DallasCowpoke111]

I think that's a baseball movie.

:p

A young ABQCOWBOY was always disheartened when the Junior High football coach sent him home from spring tryouts clutching his new, but never used helmet, shoulder pads and first baseman's mit. ;)

I used to like breathing. Now I find that I can't breathe but I'm smiling. I like it.

[Hostile]

I like the scene where they start throwing up in the huddle and they move the huddle.

Haha...I think I am going to have to break out the DVD and watch that again tonight.

As I type this Ness Roughness is playing on HBO...but it is at the end.

The speech the Assistant coach gives at halftime kills me....Let's analyze what works for us...then all hell breaks loose as he goes ape . lol

DC, your reply reminds me of one of my favorite Deep Thoughts by Jack Handy:

I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?" "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times." It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach. He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

See, that's what I'm talking about. That's how rumors get started right there.

ROFL........

GAWD, that cracked me up!!

[jterrell]

1. North Dallas Forty. Actually the book is better but what can ya do.

2. The Longest Yard. Classic Burt.

3. The Program. True portrayal of college programs.

4. Remember the Titans. Desegregation did more for football than any other factor.

[stag hunter]

haha does anyone remember that movie "lucas?" it seemed like that ran on a loop on cable a couple years ago.. weird flick but had its moments.

[Cajuncowboy]

I have to say Remember the Titans but it is closely followed by Brian's Song ans my new #3 with a bullet.....Radio. I don't know about you guys but I just loved Radio. Seems like all of my favs are true stories. Go FIgure.

Kurt Russell and Robin Williams.

[jamez25]

my fave is "The Longest Yard" : All I'm saying is you could of robbed banks, sold dope, stole your grandmother's pension check and none of us would have mind. Shaving points off a football game, man that's unamerican.
