Trouble along the way has always been an enjoyable old favorite of mine. And surprisingly relevant to today's environment.

Agree absolutely about Trouble....
Original Brian's Song is only one of two movies imo for a guy to shed a tear. The other of course is Ol Yeller, best dog gone dog in the wessttt.

Not sure if they are "football movies", but they are movies where football is a major part of them:
Necessary Roughness
The Longest Yard

The QB in the movie is a representation of Dandy Don Meredith. The author Peter Gent was a receiver for the Cowboys in the 60s that the book and movie are based upon. 2nd string religious qb is supposed to be Staubach.
