Billy Bob really pulled it off, and his speech at halftime of the state game gives me the chills still.

Apparently Billy Bob ad-libbed about 80% of that speech. That whole state title game part of the movie was very well done. I didn’t really care that it differed so much from reality, as its own movie/story I loved it.

FNL is my favorite book, period.  When I saw they were making the movie, I thought, "They're going to ruin it.  I'm not going to watch that."  I was wrong.  Billy Bob really pulled it off, and his speech at halftime of the state game gives me the chills still.

FNL is also my favorite book. I've read it at least 5 times. The movie was good but the changes they made drove me nuts.

My list:
The Program
Varsity Blues (partly filmed in my hometown and I was in HS at the time)
Necessary Roughness
Rudy (I know, I know but I loved it as a middle schooler)
Any Given Sunday
Brian's Song

Good god that’s like listing some of the worst football movies.

Most sports movies suck because of the actors ridiculous attempts at looking athletic but Brian’s Song is the best clearly

Brian's Song was a great story. The movie on the other hand, not so much. I've never been a big Jimmy Caan fan though.

Remember the titans is the same as Blind Side in my eyes. Sappy, ham fisted trash. Without Denzel, that movie is a C+ at best

 

hell, any given sunday, varsity blues, and little giants are better than RTT

This is correct. Remember the Titans was pure garbage.
