The movie "Friday Night Lights" from 2004, is hard to beat.

It's based off true story - if you haven't seen it, I highly recommend.

Good movie but the book is way better.

Fantastic movie, I was looking for someone to post this.

It’s really not at all. It’s pretty terrible. That doesn’t mean I don’t love it, though. Own it on DVD. Just watched it this weekend as a matter of fact!

I’d have to go with Rudy. Worked on a movie with Sean Astin in 2011 and he autographed my copy.

Ah... you were in final season huh? A guy I played slowpitch with was one of the outfielders in that movie.

I also vote Rudy. I HATE ND but I love the message of that movie.

The other two are good as well!

Invincible has does not even warrant an honorable mention?

I like that one too!

Too bad the real Rudy is a grade A tool.

EDIT: Also he was offsides.

North Dallas Forty

• 1) North Dallas Forty <== My all time favorite
  
• 2) Any Given Sunday
• 3) Rudy
  
• Invincible
  
• Heaven can wait
• Remember the Titans
• Brian's Song
• We Are Marshall
  
• The Longest Yard (the original with Burt)
• Semi-tough
  
• The Water Boy
• Leather Necks
• Maybe these two (the football parts)
  Against all Odds
  Jerry McGuire

Not sure how to rank these, some drama, some comedy, some pure football....

 

[EarlHawk]

It's maybe not as well known as some of the other movies listed, but I have to go with We Are Marshall, based on the true story of rebuilding the Marshall University football team after the team plane crashed in 1970 killing about 75 people.

 

[Hwkfn1]

All the Right Moves might be the most realistic football movie in terms of capturing the emotions of small town football. Tom Cruise, Lea Thompson, Craig T. Nelson, Sean Penn.

 

[Kinnick.At.Night]

The Program! Lattimer puts on 35 pounds of muscle in one off season. Coach is cool with it. No problem. lol

 

[iahawkeyes17]

The Program!

This article came out last September. Kind of a long read but enjoyable for anyone who is a fan of The Program which also tops my list along with Varsity Blues.

Still hoping to get together and visit about the biz, Flick.

True Romance. They did show an Iowa game in the background in one of the opening scenes. All the Right Moves, Brian’s Song, North Dallas Forty and the original The Longest Yard.

 

[IowaNiceHawk]

The Water boy

Without a doubt, Waterboy is every Hawkeye fans favorite!

My next fave is definitely Rudy, rooting for the underdog is fun.
Ruetteger had some guts and toughness, to be sure. Go Hawks !!

Was that Burlsworth? It was about Brandon Burlsworth or something like that. I really did like that movie.
