Friday Night Li...
Great 17 Points 2004

The movie that sparked the highly successful TV series did so for a reason. Immersion in to small town football drama is like no other. Let Billy Bob Thornton and cast take you away for a while in to the land of Texas gridiron.

The Longest Yard
Good 17 Points 2005

Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, and Burt Reynolds (as a reprise) star in this fun prisoners v Guards football classic. Not as notable as it’s 1974 predecessor, but there is plenty of raunchy humor and brute tactics you wish your favorite team could employ from tine to time to make the film an entertain…

We Are Marshall
Really Great 66 Points 2006

Arguably the best football movie ever, We Are Marshall is about much more than sports. Don’t shy away because 75 people – including dozens of collegiate football players – died in the horrific plane crash that forms its centerpiece. The movie is about what led up to the tragedy and mostly abo…

Invincible
Great 83 Points 2006

That said, excellent performances by Rob Brown, Dennis Quaid and others, top notch production values, and first-rate football action do this i…

Leatherheads
Good 17 Points 2008

I was excited to see a movie about Football’s early years, a time when professional football wasn’t taken seriously, and many teams were in danger of failing. Slapstick ruled the day, fights ended up in closer friendships, Clooney uses the period as a significant source of the comedy, and Randy N…

The Blind Side
Very Good 86 Points 2009

A three hanky weeper of the best kind – uplifting and funny. I was fortunate to watch it in the darkened cabin of an overnight flight to London, otherwise the tears streaming down my face would have been noticeable to others. But a good man-cry
