Best Football Movie Ever

[CowboyMike]

Yes!!!!

I have never seen the remake. I don't know that I ever will.

It's nearly a word for word remake. Pretty true to the original. Just updated as far as settings and humor goes. Plus it has Michael Irvin in it, which is worth it in itself.

I need to check if I can find that on netflix.

This scene is one of the beautiful pieces of art ever created by man. I get goosebumps every time I see it.

It is great, and Burt Reynolds is in it too.

Some really good ones mentioned here...

There is also a movie from 1969 called "Number One"... it stars Charlton Heston as the aging QB of the New Orleans Saints...

The Cowboys are featured prominently in the movie as well...

I watched the 2001 remake version of Brian's Song, with Sean Maher and Mekhi Phifer in the lead roles, based on your positive feedback. Like you, I thought it represented itself pretty well.

Talk about, "It's nearly a word for word remake. Pretty true to the original." Certainly applies here, too, w/ very few variations.

I watched the remake last night. It is good, but the original showcases Piccolo's humor more.

I agree. No disrespect to the solid effort Sean Maher turned in, but James Caan was much more charismatic in the role of Brian Piccolo, IMO ... hands down.
