to watch to help make it through the grueling summer offseason as we anxiously await kickoff?

Pre-Disclaimer; I'm addressing football fans that are not interested in other sports on here, so don't waste your typing energy attacking me for being a UGA fan wanting attention.


Remember the Titans; Part of it was filmed at the Highschool (Paulding county) that I went to.

'The Best of Times' has to be watched by football fans if you really are a true fan of the game.
Best line from Robin Williams; 'But this town is still headed towards the bowels of Hell and only a great victory can act as an enema for it's soul.'

Waterboy is a classic. I watch it every year. Not sure it’s my favorite but I sure do watch it a lot.

Henry Winkler watching the game film there at the beginning cracks me up every time.

Friday Night Lights

Based on a "true story" (there were a few embellishments in certain games to make the story more dramatic) and the music is fantastic.

Personally, I liked the movie a lot more than the show. But the show was good, too

What part of 'football fans not interested in other sports...' was unclear to you?

You're a Mississippi State fan? Uh, since you have a much longer football offseason than some other schools, I'd think you would appreciate this thread...

'The Best of Times'



Crap...when the OP already lists my favorite...I don't know what to post.

"You'd better watch out, Dr. Death. I'm pretty damn fast for a Caucasian"

The intro to The Best of Times is one of the greatest movie intros...ever. "I was that son of a bitch".

That really is a movie I can just watch over and over. The scene in that opening part where they are taking down the town name sign 'Moron', just cracks us up every time.

We have a long streak of being in bowl games. Yeah not NC’s but hey it’s postseason.

most football movies are propaganda to hit you in the fee fees about hard situations. Realistically many are exaggerated from the real story to entertain thus changing real historical context.
