Best Sports Movie Ever!

Rating: 10/10 (13 January 2011)

Friday Night Lights definitely exceeded my expectations. I did not think much of this film because I thought it would be similar to Remember the Titans. This movie is nothing like that at all. When this movie was finished, I just sat there stunned on how great this movie is.
This movie is based off the real life events that happened to one football team in Odessa, Texas in 1988. There is hype surrounding the team that the Panthers will win the state championship.
The acting is very good. Billy Bob Thornton is a great coach with a different personality than the coach he played in Bad New Bears. The young cast featuring Lucas Black and Garrett Hedlund were excellent.
Overall, this is the best sports movie ever made. I think it was snubbed at the Oscars. I rate this film 10/10.
