A Sports Fan's Guide To The Most Realistic Sports Films Of All Time

By Brian Mercer


Over the years, there have been some incredible football movies. Football is a sport that requires teamwork, sacrifice and enormous dedication, and when a film can encompass all of these elements, and more, it usually results in a great and memorable movie.

In my opinion, here are the greatest football films of all time.

I will put The Blind Side on this list due to the sheer fact that it is an unbelievable true story. If you want to know the whole story about Michael Oher and his journey from the streets of Memphis to a star NFL offensive lineman.

The Program is a movie that shows audiences everything that the NCAA does not want us to see. Issues such as steroids, bribes, drugs, and covering up failed tests are all brought up in this movie, so it may not be the best film to watch with the family.

Another film that definitely has to make my list is Friday Night Lights. I have been meaning to start watching the television series, which many of my friends swear by, and if its anything like the movie, then consider me in.

Rudy is another football movie that 100 percent makes the cut. Rudy takes us back to a different time in Notre Dame football history and through one man's remarkable journey to conquer his goals. Another movie that is suitable for the whole family.

Remember The Titans may oddly enough be my favorite Disney film of all. This movie is just awesome. If you have never seen this one, you are missing out. This film is one of Denzel Washington's best performances as Herman Boone.

The aforementioned films are truly some of my favorites. There are others that are worth mentioning, but these films I remember more than any other football movies.
