    Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

    Lot of good choices.

    I'll take Brian's Song if I have to choose an all time favorite, especially because it's based on fact.

    Rudy is up there.

    Stir Crazy

  • erikthredderikthredd Posts: 9,012 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I liked the Vince Papale movie Invincible

    Oh geez...in Stir Crazy they did the rodeo, not football.

    I don't think I have a favorite football movie.

    Bad News Bears was the best baseball movie!

    Sorry to inform you, but mistaking Stir Crazy for a football movie is a sign of advanced Alzheimers.

    The Longest Yard (the real one, not the Adam Sandler one) is the best. After that in no particular order I like the Replacements, Remember the Titans, the Waterboy, Heaven Can Wait and, if it counts, MAS*H.

    This is for you @thisistheshow - Jim Rice was actually a pretty good player.

    Maybe....but Grossberger would have outrushed Barry, Emmitt or Mike Schmidt.

    My five greatest Football movies of all-time:

    Horsefeathers (1932)
    Three Little Pigskins (1934)
    The Longest Yard (1974)
    Brian’s Song (1971)
    Paper Lion (1968)

    Honorable Mention:
    Gridiron Gorilla (1964)

    I was going include Horsefeathers... Pleased that someone already mentioned it.

    Knute Rockne All American-1940

    There was a film done about Doc Blanchard and Glenn Davis... Unable to remember the title... It may have been The Spirit of West Point.

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
