Invincible!

From your list, "remember the titans". I haven't seen game Plan yet but my daughter loved it. Invincible is her favorite of the 2.

I voted for The Replacements. All the chatter about Rudy, I gave it a watch. I enjoyed it, it was very good. But I won't change my vote.
One I thought might have got a guernsey was Friday Night Lights , I enjoyed that one (I saw the tv show in Canada but I don't think held a candle - sorry! - to the film).

But one thing. Why is it that football (American) has the ability to make such really enjoyable films? I've seen lots of basketball films (I first started playing basketball when Bob Cousy was a household name) and a few baseball films but it seems that football carries a film much better than those other sports.

That was the one set in New Orleans with the team that wasn't the Saints wasn't it?

I didn't like it but that's just a personal view. I prefer the overcoming adversity ones. Yes, I'm a big sook for that sort of message.

I also forgot The Last Boy Scout. Of course, there are only ten choices available for any poll.

Coach Carter is the only good basketball movie that I can think of.

Try Glory Road, it's a great film. There's also Hoosiers and Blue Chips.

Varsity Blues is another 'decent' one. Predictable teen movie, yes. I still liked it.

I agree, D, but every guy I know really loved Field of Dreams.
