"The Program."

The Program was the most god awful film I have scene. Nothing about it was real. The whole premise was stupid and every character was based on a typical stereo type while trying to be a serious movie. I thought it was horrible and I walked out. I still have not finished watching that atrocity...

Rudy
Titans
Longest Yard

Those are the ones I enjoy. I enjoy the replacements as well. I equate the "football" part of that movie with The Program...but The Replacements was an comedy so it didn't come across as borderline retarded...

Not defending it as a good movie, but it had it's moments from a football perspective...as a movie it was less than average. Nothing about it was real? Care to go in to detail?

Well, I don't remember exactly. I never played pro football, but I have played a lot of football and been around a lot of football players (my dad was a high school coach for 25 years) and everything about it was fake. From the action shots to the locker room. Everything was hollywood and completely based on bullshit stereotypes. FOr example, I am not sure if this actually happened in this movie but this is an example of the kinds of things I am talking about. When a guy goes to tackle someone and just sticks his arm out to clothes line the dude and the dude does a back flip...shit like that. Plus the way the coach was and the steroid dude...it was all just fake...

By the way, The Program was about a college program, not pro.

Well, yeah, but you said you liked The Longest Yard...so your clothesline argument doesn't fly. That's Hollywood BS...stereotype shit is what they do.

Was waiting for the steroid thing...sorry, but that's real...except its not nearly as isolated as the movie would have you think...so I guess that part wasn't real either.

What is the movie with Al Pacino as coach? I thought that was The Program...

Edit* My bad, I was thinking of the wrong movie. I actually don't remember The Program. But the movie with Pacino as coach sucked ass...

This is why I don't participate when yall start quoting movies...

The Waterboy was the best football movie of all time.

and JR much like there was no sequel to Caddyshack their was no remake of The Longest Yard.

That movie was proof that ESPN needs to stay in the sports entertainment not movie production.

Might have to agree on The Waterboy...if you say so on the other.

The Longest Yard
WARNING. Contains F-Bombs

When I was a kid, I thought Necessary Roughness was one of the best movies of all time. It came on about a year ago, and I cannot believe I liked that garbage. Plastic facemasks and Robert Logia??

Most football movies are horrible, and there is always that scene where a ball carrier gets hit and does a slow-motion helicopter spin in mid air.

I like the more traditional ones. You know, the ones where someone would cut off someone else's left nut if they prevented them from heading to whatever game it was in the movie.

Varsity Blues - if only for the whip cream bikini and Tweeter's cool ass
Remember the Titans - good plot, sad ending
Radio - GREAT plot. Cuba Gooding does his best impression of Tom Hanks in "Forest Gump" (which is the Bammer #1 FB movie)
Invincible - Very Rocky-esque but not as cheesy. I think this guy inspired the Rocky movies. No joke.

Oh what the hell, I like the emotional, lay it on the line FB movies. Sheeesh.

The Program

Varsity Blues

Waterboy

and Not Another Teen Movie

*NSFW*

I'm now seeing some similarities:
*3:48 mark - Lee Ziemba*
*6:15 mark - Chris Todd*

I kept waiting for Scott Bakula to leap into a better movie. It never happened.
