Friday Night Lights is so far the best football movie that I ever seen.

i have...\n\nI guess the best joke could be found at the beginning of the movie. In the airplane a black gentleman, played by Drew Barrymore, says to the passenger next to him (her): "Oh, another movie from an old TV show." when the movie T.J. Hooker, the movie is shown. \n\nI would like to say that I guess that I belong to the wrong demographic to fully appreciate this movie. I think this movie will be loved most by young males in their puberty. Another possibility is of course that I ask too much of a movie. Up to you to decide which of the two is true... I gave it a 5/10 (only because of the ladies, LOL)

No I havent seen it...whyd you ask this in the football section anyway??  The  first movie has about a minute of Sid playing running back vs. the dodo birds.  Hows #2?

Football is the best sport ever -- what other sport can you see somebody get hit every play -- even the bad ones and then they get right up and do it again!!!

Yep, It is the best quarterback ever to play the game, Steve Young the former quarterback of the San Francisco 49ers. It was when he totally killed the Vikings with an 80 yard touchdown run. YAY!!!!\n\nGO NINERS!!!!!

If by the, "big dance" you mean the playoffs, then yes definitely. As a matter of fact, I picked them to represent the NFC in next year's Super Bowl. They have talent at each major position including QB, RB, WR, and they also have a stingy defense.

I'm glad to see someone else interested in this film!  I've actually heard really good things about it, and i just bought it.  I'm planning on watching it later today based on all the reviews I read, which were very favorable.  On IMDB (which I consider to be a very very good resource for film info), they gave it an average rating of 7.3 out of 10.  \n\nOne of the reviewers made this comment:\n"Without revealing too much of the story, Elijah Wood's character gets kicked out of Harvard for a drug offence he didn't commit. He flies to London to visit his sister and quickly gets caught up in a small group of West Ham United supporting hooligans called the Green Street Elite.\n\nThe film does slightly glamorise the violence, but ends on a moralising note. An engaging storyline, good cinematography and decent cast performances make this a very enjoyable film."\n\nAnyway, I don't know just how violent it is yet, and it's fiction after all, but I'm really looking forward to watching it.  I'll give you an update after I've seen it.  Also, have you seen Football Factory??  Here's a snippet from the summary: "The Football Factory is more than just a study of the English obsession with football violence, its about men looking for armies to join, wars to fight and places to belong."\n\nI figure if I like Green Street Hooligans I might like Football Factory, so I might get that one, too.\n\nHere's a link for Green Street Hooligans:\nhttp://www.imdb.com/title/tt0385002/\n\nHere's one for Football Factory:\nhttp://www.imdb.com/title/tt0385705/

Absolutely love it.  As a USAian, I only get one or two live matches per week during the season, plus some highlights (all on Setanta Sports.  Love it.  Watching UEFA Cup on there right now...)  Anyway, I can't get enough of it, really.  I'd rather watch it than any other type of football, though I love them all...  Except for League Rugby.  League sucks.  Pansies, all of 'em.\n\nOh, I barrack for Collingwood.  Go Pies!

Footloose also, because I'm a straight guy! But seriously it's amazing,i don't care how people go on about it being a cheesy 80's movie it rocks, the music is something everyone can dance to (look at Willard on the football pitch, cracks me up every time!)\n\nBut yeah, i get a lot of funny looks when people find that out, like i should be watching gangsters and car chases :P

It's absolutely my favorite movie! The story is great, the actors, special effects, soundtrack...everything was so well, I just can't describe it. Certainly the best movie ever made, but I couldn't choose my favorite, they are all THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!

Well I wont say football but sport in general makes the world go round. There is nothing more exciting than watching your fav team win and do it in style. Sport has everything it can possibly need. \n\nThere is drama comedy action and horrors. Its better than any movie they can ever make, its like a story that has no ending. I really am a sportsnut though i make time for other things sport is what makes this world a place worth living.\n\nI arrange my schedule so that i can watch all my sport I just cant help thinking about my teams, upcoming matches and who will win the trophies this year.\n\nIn football I support Chelsea, Liverpool, and Barcelona. I dont like Arsenal and M United I only like if they lose. I also like Brazil and Argentinia. Fav players are Ronaldinho, Lampard, Gerrard and Terry.

Yep!!!!  Another way to exclude 75% of the country from great football games every week.  I say, put it on CBS, NBC, or FOX, so those of us with out NFL Network, or even cable, can enjoy a nice thursday night game.
