FOOTBALL MOVIES TO FEED THE HOLE IN SUNDAYS
Football's over so maybe it's time to fill that weekend need for the game by catching up on some of the best football movies of all time.
Any Given Sunday - Oliver Stone and Al Pacino make this a good, but not great, football flick.
School Ties - Brendan Frasier is a star Jewish quarterback who, despite obvious difficulty gripping a football, is recruited to a starchy New England prep school. His well-sweatered teammates are Chris O'Donnell, Ben Affleck, Cole Hauser and a jealous, back-stabbing Matt Damon.
Jerry Maguire - Tom Cruise and Cuba Gooding Jr. in a film that's one-part football, one part romantic.
Rudy - It's the feel-good hit of every fall, starring Sean Astin and Jon Favreau.
The Blind Side - Sandra Bullock won her first Best Actress Oscar for playing Leigh Anne Tuohy, a real-life Memphis wife and mom who got future first-round NFL draft pick Michael Oher off the streets and gave him not only a home, but an adopted family.
All The Right Moves - Stuck in a hardscrabble western Pennsylvania mill town, Tom Cruise sees football as his way out. Also stars Craig T. Nelson and Lea Thompson.
Invincible - Another based-on-a-true story heartwarmer, Mark Wahlberg is Vince Papale, a real-life journeyman athlete who finally made the pros when he was in his thirties.
Varsity Blues - Released in 1999, but in some ways the first real football movie. Why? They play real football. Other than the primary actors, the on-screen players were high school stars drawn from around Texas. After a two week training camp, complete with tryouts and playbooks, the on-field sequences were shot as full-speed games.
Friday Night Lights - Billy Bob Thorton is the high school coach in football-crazy Odessa, Texas, but his then-unknown cast steals the movie: Lucas Black as the haunted quarterback, and Connie Britton, so mesmerizing as Thorton's long-suffering wife that she was brought back to anchor the TV show. The football sequences pop with authenticity.
