Over the years, there have been some incredible football movies. Football is a sport that requires teamwork, sacrifice and enormous dedication, and when a film can encompass all of these elements, and more, it usually results in a great and memorable movie.
In my opinion, here are the greatest football films of all time.
Any best of list would have to include 2009’s The Blind Side. Sandra Bullock may have won an Oscar, but the true hero in this story is no doubt is the left offensive tackle whom which the Tuohys housed. This is a must see film for the whole family.
Another incredible football film, from a different decade is The Program. This film looks at the gritty underside of college football, and all the bad things that go along with it. I don’t think I have seen a football player as big as Latimer in this film, and this film remains one of my football favorites.
Friday Night Lights remains one of my favorite films, sports related or not. This film takes a look at high school football in Texas, where football runs through the blood of many communities. Players face the pressure of making it to the next level, and seeing a world beyond the turf.
Rudy is another football movie that 100 percent makes the cut. Rudy takes us back to a different time in Notre Dame football history and through one man’s remarkable journey to conquer his goals. Another movie that is suitable for the whole family.
This list would not be complete if I forgot to mention Remember The Titans. Based on a true story, this film tells the tale of the first integrated high school football team in the South, and the journey these players, and their coach, must endure.
These are just some of the best movies about American football to come out in recent years, but there are surely others that warrant a second article.
