Best Football movie.

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

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

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.

Its not a movie either, but I was a fan of the show Playmakers on ESPN. Really wish they wouldn't have cancelled it. Friday Night Lights is a good show too, had me hooked.

My top 5 movies would be,
5 Friday Night Lights
4) Gridiron Gang
3) We Are Marshall
2) Remember The Titans
1) Any Given Sunday
