Seriously, the all caps thing in your posts or titles is really annoying.

All caps is usually looked at on the Internet as shouting. Unless you have a headline like "AD Traded To Dallas" there really isn't any reason to shout.

There isnt a caps big enough, a font large enough or an emoticon that could ever capture the feeling a Viking fan would have should something like that happen!

Caps aside, my favorite football movie of all time, and one of my all time favorites period, is Remember the Titans. A true story, inspirational, awesome IMO.

Remember the titans is a great one. Varsity Blues was pretty good too. Rudy. The Program.

Friday Night Lights is my favorite. Remember the Titans, Rudy, Longest Yard (the original), and The Last Boy Scout would round out the top 5 (that I can think of at the moment anyways.)

I have seen many football movies, but none of them are that great. Some are fine, but none are movies that I'd like to see many times.

Jerry Maguire was good, but the football wasn't really the prime focus. Agents are a scourge, but I guess they are needed for players not to get duped. At least the McGuire character had quan.

Remember the Titans was all right, but it was more about race relations than football.

Friday Night Lights is more about football, but I wanted more character development.

Fast Times at Ridgemont High had some football, but hey Bud, I would have rather stayed at the pool on my time.

I guess H.O.T.S. is pretty good for a T & A film, which means it was pretty bad but had nice babes.

Brian's Song ... tough guys do cry.

Invincible was pretty good but really predictable even if one didn't know the story.

We Are Marshall is a nice story, but there isn't much character development of the players.

North Dallas Forty shows the dirty side of football.

All The Right Moves is about high school football in a steel town. It was good.

Radio had football, but it wasn't about football. It was a good film though.

Gridiron Gang is based on a true story, but do we really want gang members to outplay students that are playing by the rules on and off the field?

M*A*S*H had some football. That was fun.

Horse Feathers was a laugh. Not realistic, but who cares; it was the Marx Brothers after all.

Miniman's list of more obscure movies got me to recall a couple. Not what I would call favorites, but I liked them the first time I saw them when I was about 10...

The Monkey's Uncle (boy genius saves football team by helping them pass classes by learning in their sleep)
Son of Flubber (Flubber gas helps float final kick through the uprights)
Francis Goes to West Point (talking mule kicks footballs...)

I think my favorites have to be those already mentioned-- 'Remember the Titans', Invincable, and as a guilty pleasure The Replacements
