I really like Any given sunday (Cameron Diaz), The Program, Friday Night Lights and
Varsity Blues. Waterboy, The replacements and The longest yards are good for laughing.

Not a movie, but the Friday Night Lights television show was excellent. I actually prefer that over any football movie I've seen. That's saying a lot for me, because I am a big fan of Remember the Titans, The Replacements, Brian's Song, and The Last Boy Scout.

Friday Night lights is also a movie, it was before the TV show. You may want to catch it, pretty good flick about Texas football in the Midland/Odessa area.

Seen it. A few times. Didn't care for it nearly as much as I did the series. Don't get me wrong, I liked it. Just liked the series even more.

Never missed an episode. Friday Night Lights was good tv drama and well done.

I actually didn't watch it while it was on air. I hadn't gotten into a weekly television show since my sophomore year in high school when I watched SNL all the time until this season of The Walking Dead. I took a stab at Friday Night Lights on Netflix and was immediately hooked. It's one of the few shows I've ever seen where you get an emotional attachment to the characters. I would have loved to been attached to Minka Kelly, Adrienne Palicki, and Connie Britton in other ways, too.

For me it is North Dallas 40 and the rest are somewhere in the distance in the rear view mirror. I love the part when the 'Tuz, playing a lineman for the Cowboys...a real football player...goes off on one of the coaches. "When we call it a game, you call it a business. When we call it a business, you call it a game!" I particularly like the part when, at the end of the rant, Nick Nolte says, "Far out!"

It is interesting to note that this movie was based on the real story of Pete Gent, played by Nick, and his issues with Coach Landry and the FO, and his friend Don Meredith, played by Mac Davis.

Great movie and one of the most realistic professional football movies I've ever seen.

Here's a sample, for those who haven't seen it...

Whether you think you can or think you can't...you're right!

I love Remember the Titans, We are Marshall and The Express.

I don't think anyone has mentioned Hose Manning, played by Joe Kapp.
