Name your favorite football movie

[husker_fan_from_sweden]

I know this might be retreading water under the bridge to a topic already posted, but I want to know what kind of football films huskerboard members are into. What is your favorite football film or top three if you are unable to pick just one?

Mine would be hands down Remember the Titans for Coach Yoasts speech scene

 

[Count 'Bility]

I've always been a fan of Necessary Roughness. Maybe because it was the first football movie I ever saw.

 

[Landlord]

Friday Night Lights and it's close but not very close.

That movie is vastly underrated in my book. Especially if you've read the book. True to the source material, incredible attention-to-detail (you forget it's a film and not real football so easily), a gripping and relevant story and the best soundtrack I've ever heard on a sports movie.

Ah hell here I go watching it again. Literally happens at least once a month.

Little Giants.

"The acquisition of Puerto Rico"...one of the best moments in any movie...something the T.O. or the Bob Father would have run.
