What is your favorite football movie, or sports movie?

I haven't seen any of those. Remember the Titans is the only football movie that comes to my mind. Not my favorite kind of film, but it was good.

Oh and 'The Little Giants.' I don't think I could stomach it as an adult, but I freakin' loved it as a kid. Almost as good as The Mighty Ducks.
 
Paper Lion with Allen Alda was pretty good.

The original Longest Yard.

Varsity Blues

I'll think os some more before its through.
 
No love for "On Any Given Sunday"? It's not my favorite, but it's worth mentioning.

"Rudy" and "Remember the Titans", as have been mentioned, are very deserving. What about "Friday Night Lights"? "The Blind Side"? "We are Marshall"? "Varsity Blues"?

By far, though, the number-one movie that was glaringly left of this list, as it is a generational classic --

"Water Boy"!!!!!!

+1 Waterboy.
 
Ok, so for some reason, I only noticed "football" in the title, the first time I read this. Now that we're including all sports movies, geez. I'm not sure if I've got time for a list like that. Just a few off the top of my head.

Million Dollar Baby
Cinderella Man
Rocky (all of them, except 5)
Dodgeball
Hoosiers
Bad News Bears (both, but I actually like the remake better, sue me)
Major League
Bull Durham
Field of Dreams
Coach Carter
When We Were Kings
Tin Cup
Happy Gilmore
Seabiscuit
Billy Elliot (sports movie?)
Legend of Bagger Vance (seriously underrated)
Kingpin
Cool Running
Bend it Like Beckham
Talledega Nights
Invictus
Karate Kid (even the remake is good)
Miracle

Okay, I started by listing them off the top of my head, but then I got into it and googled. If there are any big ones that you think I left off, it probably means I haven't seen it (Raging Bull being one such glaring example). Anyway, these are the ones that I particularly like.
