Best Football Movie Ever Made

Rating: 10/10 (21 September 2009)

This movie is the best football movie i have ever seen. The thing that makes it so great is that it is not about one player's struggle or a coach trying to pull his team together or even about racial segregation. It is just about a group of players and what it is like to play high school football in west Texas.
The movie strays just a little bit from the truth, but no more than We are Marshal, or Remember the Titans did, however the writers keep the story believable unlike in Varsity Blues or All the Right Moves. The film editors and director also do an excellent job of keeping most of the action during the plays believable and not exaggerating the violence of the sport. In addition the soundtrack is amazing, nothing gets me more excited then the pre-game scene before the state championship with the Disturbed music playing
Overall the movie is one of my all time favorites and something i watch often just to get excited about football, especially high school football because there is really no better form of pure passion and desire then the kind you find in high school football, especially in states such as Texas or Florida or Georgia.
