Off Topic But Fun: Favorite Football Movies

Yes there's some brilliant stuff on Youtube, Mini documentaries, pod casts and highlight shows. The on bike camera footage is a particular favorite of mine.

As daft as it sounds, one of the Tour Stages started in York in 2014, it snaked through the city center before heading up to my side of the city and I managed to get some good photos of the top riders as they passed on the main road near my house. It was only a procession at this point, they started racing once they reached the country side. They regularly start the Tour de France outside France and ours was one of three stages in England that year.

So There was Hellfest 4 day concert. Then The La Tour and end's up with the Olympics. A very cool couple of months

Kind of surprised that no one mentioned 'Draft Day'.
Pretty unrealistic, but entertaining anyways.

I was getting there, Draft Day really is one of my favorites. I get all weepy when the pick is finally announced. It’s really pathetic.
Remember the Titans is up there for me. Does anyone else do that thing where if someone around you during any conversation says “left side”, l immediately scream “STRONG SIDE!” It’s a gag at parties.
Q: What side of the house has the restrooms?
A: Left side.
STONG SIDE!!
I’ll go with The Express to round out my top 3.
The movie Friday Night Lights is awful, but the tv show is fantastic.

The book is so damn good, but I agree, I didn't care for the movie either.

? I know what you mean about the Friday Night Lights series being way better than the movie. Billy Bob Thornton portraying a Head Coach for a high school football program in Texas is just as outrageous as Jed Clampett moving the family to Beverly Hills.
I welcome the only Defensive Coordinator to earn a Superbowl Ring in New Orleans while understanding Revenge of the Nerds is a sequel. "Come get some!" -
What's your top three favorite football movies?
I gotta go with Rudy (easily), Brian's Song and the original The Longest Yard, which barely edges out Remember the Titans.

You know what else makes a football movie good? The setting of the story and the soundtrack/musical choices within the movie for the era the story took place in. That's what makes 'Remember the Titans' stand out to me back in a time when breaking the trend of segregation was supposed to be an absolute no no. The movie captured the inevitable racial/cultural turbulence confronting the kids, coaches and community. Loved hearing the Hollies and Cat Stevens songs at just the right time...

Best Sport documentary, is Closer to the Edge about the Isle of Man TT races. This short clip covers two big crashes, Connor Cummins flips over a wall doing over 150 mph and was back racing two years later after breaking his back in five places, dislocating his knee and breaking one of his arms. And Guy Martin managed to kick himself off his bike before it hit the wall and exploded. The fire ball scenes are right at the end of this clip. This is the maddest Motor race on the planet and this short clip shows you why. Was talking to an old boy in Houston who's a big fan of this event which surprised me as I didn't think it would be known of in USA.

That and the goddamn "shaky handheld camera" cinematography that literally made me want to hurl at the movie theater...

Yes Mark Cavendish broke the number of stage wins record held by Eddie Merxs. It's a brilliant story considering it looked like his career was over a few years back. I enjoy watching the tour highlights but I've not had chance as I'm working afternoon shift. It was very well received when it came to Yorkshire, 30000 people were watching from Holme Moss which is a steep climb in the pennines and made it look like a stage in the alps. Seen some brilliant photos of it in Yorkshire one particular of the peleton doing the climb up Haworth high street (town made famous by the Bronte sisters) hundreds of riders crammed on this narrow road between the old stone houses.
