  • ROLLAND T.

    In 1969 a movie called Number One was better than some you listed.

  • Rufnek

    The Longest Yards (original and remake)? When did prison football teams become “professional?”
    I don’t care much for football or movies about football, but I remember a film I saw in my childhood about Leroy (?) “Crazy Legs” Hirsch.

    There have been much better films about baseball, baseball players, auto racers, hockey, and race horses.

  • Tlynette

    This wasn’t the best question for me to answer, since the wonderful “Brian’s Song” was the only one I’ve seen! How about a poll on favorite sports movies–or have I missed that one?

  • john miller

    one movie that should have been but in the poll,
    as far as i’m concerned, and was not is ” horse
    feathers ” by the marx brothers.

  • Stephen Farris

    I concur with RUFNEK, Longest Yards it ONLY HAD SOME PROS IN CAST.

  • Richard Finn

    You left out “2 Minute Warning”

  • Donald Allen

    How in the world do you leave “Rudy” off of this list, shame on whoever put this one together.

  • Luis Montero

    Rudy! Rudy! Rudy!

  • Bryan

    Well, Donald, for the same reason they put “Paper Lion” ON the list. That movies wasn’t even about pro football, it was about a reporter that “con”ed his way onto a pro team to write a story. “Rudy” was just plain goofy!

  • Al B.

    Overall good list, but where is “Remember the Titans?” I am not sure whomever created this list selected the best movies for voting. Rudy also certainly belongs on this list as was earlier documented…

  • Michael Autin

    How about M*A*S*H? though not professional, but the longest yard isn’t either.

  • DeMeio

    Sorry. Don’t care for pro football. Haven’t seen any on the list.

    With just a football theme though, I’d have to vote for LUCAS.

  • Earl Schwager

    Please add a vote button for “None of the above”. Also Rudy, being a college player was only semi-semi professional…

  • Andrew

    “Horse Feathers” dealt with college football but,
    the slapstick comedy was hilarious. Lots of funny
    lines. Professor Wagstaff (Groucho) was full of them.

  • Richard

    Most football movies folow the cliches of sports filmmaking. Leatherheads is the best for its recreation of the early days and the bizarre ending. I also liked the way it presented college football as being preferable to pro football which is still the case today.

  • Luis Montero

    Rudy!….sorry,college football movie.
    I’m brain dead, also a Notre Dame fan.

  • chris

    The Fortune Cookie with Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau

  • Seattle Cynic

    Any Given Sunday, directed by Oliver Stone, staring Al Pacino, Dennis Quaid, Jamie Fox, Cameron Diaz. Unlike the movies listed this one captured the feel of pro football and real life — brutal, sexy, thrilling and complex. Makes the the films listed look like what they are… Hollywood fantasies and wimpy wannabes.
