Having a hard time thinking what the best football movie would be.  Lots are good, none really great.

This board probably thinks its something like Concussion.

FNL.  

Remember the Titans was a great story that was turned into horrible Disneyfied schlock.

Somewhere between Brian's Song and The Waterboy.

 

I like RTT for what it is.  I liked how the player interaction was portrayed. The parental piece had to be total shit in real life.  I struggled with them having training camp and having rooming arrangements like a college.  AFAIK, nobody in Texas does that in High School.

Any Texan who doesn’t say, “FNL” isn’t much of a Texan.

It’s FNL. And yes I know their real season didn’t play out exactly like that. Still a great movie.

Yup. And FNL gets bonus points for Explosions in the Sky. Perfect fit for the film.

I'm pretty much a lifelong fan of Texas High school football.  Varsity Blues is a MUCH better representation of reality, IMHO.  FNL sucks.

Not sure if serious. You can argue that FNL sucks, I don’t think you can argue Varsity Blues is more realistic in any way
