Remember the Titans- if I had a #1 this is it.
Varsity Blues
The Program

It's funny as I've aged and watch these again I have to just laugh at some of the overplayed "acting".

Oh shit I didn't follow the Dudeism's Rules, rank those top 3 only. Oh well I already typed this out and I'm blazed and it's our fuk up day w/o repercussions. :mrgreen:

Forgot about this movie. I actually liked this one a lot. And I'm not a big Tom Cruise fan either.

The Longest Yard, was THE film that introduced me to American football, whereas the following week I took out Heaven Can Wait from the Video Shop - and that wasn't even on VHS, it was Video 2000....

So I'd have to say that:

1=The Longest Yard
1=Heaven Can Wait

and I can't recall the others.....

You can't recall the others, or you haven't seen the others?

It's been a very long time since I've seen North Dallas Forty & Brian's Song.... I really can't remember them. Any Given Sunday (didn't see that on the list first time!) would have to be my no. 3 movie, behind the joint firsts as mentioned above...

Not seen Rudy, Varsity Blues or Remember the Titans and i've not heard of The Program and Friday Night Lights - not sure they ever reached our shores ;)

Radio has been on my to watch list for a long time!

"The Longest Yard" was called "The Mean Machine" in the UK :)
ohh and how come you left off Leatherheads :p

I hate sports movies. Most of them are just sap story fests and try to be inspirational.

Longest Yard (both versions) are probably the ones I'd rather watch, but the rest..ehh.

Remember the Titans is number 1 for me. I'm also a big fan of Any Given Sunday.

For me its...
The Longest Yard(original)...and its not even close. Its a great movie despite the football backdrop.

I've seen most of the others mentioned and the majority of them just dont do much for me.
North Dallas Forty was good.

Gonna have to go with:

#1 and always #1 - Heaven Can Wait. Loved Julie Christie (sp?) in the day.

#2 - Brian's Song. *sniff*

#3 - Remember the Titans. Thought it was one of Denzel's better roles.

I liked Titans... My #1b.

But if you haven't seen Rudy you need to see it.
