Really Great 83 Points 2014

When the Game Stands Tall pegs several meters: football movies – coach movies – Bay Area movies. Arguably the greatest Football Movie ever, it is surely the first great Bay Area Football Movie. It profiles an all-time great football coach: Coach Bob Ladouceur of Concord’s legendary De La Salle…

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…

The Replacements
Barely OK 83 Points 2000

The dramatic depth of a lite beer commercial, egregious stereotyping and one-note performances consign The Replacements to cellar-dweller status. Even the great Gene Hackman can’t rescue it from ridiculousness, triteness and mean-spiritedness. Consider it a weak replacement for a quality foot…

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…
