I put it together before when someone was thinking out loud about football films. I searched through IMDB (the internet movie database) on different keywords, and put together the list. There were a lot more listed, but I figured they were European football, or only had a character related to football without any football content (i.e. Girl dates the quarterback).
I know there is a wonderful book from Leonard Maltin (sp?) that lists movies, and clasifies them - it had subsections just like this and I wouldn't be surprised if it had a sections for Sports-Football, but I don't have it anymore :-( There are also more documentaries out there, and videos of particluar games, but I tried to keep them to a minimum on the list (except for the REALLY early ones, 10 minutes of Arm-Navy 1911 must be really cool to watch, maybe even some penalty enforcement!) Some on the list might be wrong, and I'm sure there are some missing. By the way the German one (Vorspiel mit Nachspiel) is to my knowledge not released, but I'm in it (11 hours of filming for a QB sack, a sweep for 0 yardage, and a pass TD pass from the 30). I read that someone here is in Firday Night Lights, but I have no idea who. James

Talking about movies. Can anyone help me with a movie I watched at the theaters as a kid. It must have been released late 70' to early 80's.... If I had to guess a year, I would say 1979.
It was a documentary on The Bear Bryant. It showcased a preseason of football... the only thing I can remember is it showed two football players in a pit with o ne ladder... the first one out got to seelp in his bed and eat witht he rest of the football team... the other guy was to stay in the pit for the night.

Movies about Bryant...
The Bear (1984) The Bear: The Legend of Coach Paul Bryant (2001) (TV) The Junction Boys (2002) (TV) Looks like there are a LOT more movies too! Just on one name I added a few movies to the list. The '84 movie stars Gary Busey Would anyone think including Forrest Gump (1994) as a football movie - from his college years, or is that sort of stuff too short? I ask because Bryant was listed as a character in that movie too... James

On the less serious side, if you want any movies that include any football--MASH has a football scene in it.
Plus this is really a stretch, but its one of my favorite movies--Airplane! has a rendition of the "Gipper" speech (in this case, its the "Zipper" speech).
