Remember "Remember the Titans". Great football movie. Great movie. Definitely better than a few on here. I understand its a top 10, but, dude, your list is suspect. Look to it.

How Undefeated is not on this list boggles me mind. And Varsity Blues certainly deserves a spot as well.

Any Given Sunday is a decent film, but only if you view it as a satire of sorts. There are some scenes that are beyond ridiculous–laughable at times. And it is one of those films just does not age well because it tries too hard to be reflective the "modern times" of the era in which it was produced.

"Any Given Sunday" but not "Undefeated"? I know it's a documentary, but it's also probably the best movie about football I've ever seen. Too bad the Weinsteins buried it deep underground once they won their Oscar.

Can't believe you left off "The Best Of Times" with Robin Williams and Kurt Russell. That was one of my favorite movies when I was a kid and it has one of the greatest final football moments to be displayed on the silver screen.

Hats off to double Burt! Semi-Tough was the most underrated performance of his career.

Finally, a good list. North Dallas Forty is not just a good football movie, but one of the greatest every. Right, Poo?

I'm taking this site off my bookmarks because you've DARED to blaspheme both the great artist James Van Der Beek and his seminal work, VARSITY BLUES. When he tells his father, "I don't want your life"–chills.

No joke though, that movie is ahead of its time with its handling of concussions, injuries, and coaches who don't really know/care enough about either of them. Also, the Science Teacher moonlights as a stripper.

Nice list. I am with others – Remember The Titans is one of my favorite movies of all-time.

Will have to check out some of the others I haven't seen though!

The lack of Remember the Titans somewhere invalidates this, and no mention of The Replacements? Ugh.

1. How dare you create comparison by having Michael Vick and Aaron Hernandez in the same sentence. That's just rude.
2. I second Shane's comment, Remember the Titans is amazing.
3. Thanks for the feature, football movies are great.

How is Remember the Titans not on this list anywhere? I'm mean even leatherheads got a mention.

Does "Horse Feathers" not count? Because that's a far better movie than anything on this list. ("Any Given Sunday" is, in particular, an awful, awful movie.)

Umm..Remember The Titans? Love the list, but not sure how this was kept off!?

Also, Tom Cruise played a defensive back in All The Right Moves, not a "shot caller" (assuming you meant quarterback…)

Correction: Billy Blanks played a running back, not a linebacker.
