Its a pretty interesting read on the real story of Herman Boone and the football team.

Remember the Titans is easily the best football movie ever. Basically the

I am in the minority in that I do not like that movie nor Rudy.

You don't like overcoming racial adversity and championships?

Supercoug

It's not the message I don't like, it's the execution.

You think Denzel is ugly?

Supercoug

I don't like it

Agree on Titans--way too melodramatic. And the language & interactions are

I'm with you. I actually liked Remember the Titans OK, but it's not a football

The actual football scenes are horrible

Not to mention a 7 year old girl breaking down game film,

If you read about the real events you'd learn those were factual.

Supercoug

Again, no issue with the story or message, just the execution.

All the Right Moves was a good one

It lacked the "magic" that RTT had. If you could walk immediately after

Lea Thompson left an impresson on me in that movie

OpusX

Too bad she died later in Red Dawn

TNT

9/17/14 8:54pm

That was Jennifer Grey. Ruined her career.

D'oh. 80s movie history fail

TNT

Did Lea Thompson survive?

TNT

9/17/14 8:58pm

She did, and thank goodness, because Space Camp ROCKED!

I'd take Friday Night Lights and The Longest Yard over it in a heartbeat

Brian's Song is pretty good.

I think it's completely overrated. It is just a mash up of good ideas from

So basically the "All Stars" of football movies?

Re-runs or cliches would be more appropriate

Rudy?

Mantis Mutu

Rudy has since been discovered to largely be a fabrication.

Supercoug

No worse than most of the Hollywood hero "histories".

Mantis Mutu

9/17/14 8:47pm

Same with Remember the Titans. Nobody liked the coach either.

RTT is the ABC Afterschool Special of sports movies, just one vacuous cliche

The new one about De La Salle HS 150 W streak is also a true story....

Best ever? No. Friday Night Lights is the best ever.
