1. North Dallas Forty

Seriously underrated.

Has a lot of good messages about the hypocrisy and exploitation of the NFL, mixed in with some truly funny but tasteless humor.

How can you not love the team prayer scene followed by the exhortation to "Let's Go Kill Those Cocksuckers"

3. Made for TV but "Brian's Song" other than that "We are Marshall"

There are some good ones listed here even if they did leave off "Gus"
http://www.sportsinmovies.com/football-movies.asp

Longest Yard-Good movie
Horsefeathers
Everybody's All-American
and, of course, Garbage Picking Field Goal Kicking starring TONY DANZA

I'll take a pass on
Paper Lion
Jerry Maguire -they really gave someone an Oscar for that?
and Remember the Titans (how formulatic can you get?)

5. Can't recall the Name

but it featured Mark Wohlberg playing a walkon for the Eagles back in the 70's. Not a technical gem of a movie but very nice for an Eagle Fan.

7. I enjoyed Any Given Sunday

Not a favorite, but because they filmed The Waterboy at my college, I have a soft spot for it, all inanities aside.
