My NEW FAVORITE MOVIE, replaces ROBIN HOOD with Errol Flynn

Rating: 10/10 (9 October 2004)

Last night I took my youngest son, (15) to see FNL's......if you ever played football at any level and it is in your heart, I'm sure this movie will bring you to tears. I cried throughout the movie and especially at the end....when the the teamates said goodbye!!!
It's been over 40 years since I taped my ankles and put on the pads but each and every football season the fire shines bright in my heart. Football is a special game and one that changes boys into men, men that they will become as they travel down the road of life. I owe all my success to loving and playing football, the values and discipline have remained with me to this moment. I usually never write replies like this....however after the movie and I finally wiped away the tears I had a catch with my youngest son, I still could lead a wide receiver perfectly.....he caught ever one of my throws in full stride, when I attended my 40th reunion, our first and only one last year the guys all wondered why I never made the NFL....another story but maybe in 2005 I will make history as the oldest (60) year old guy to play in the pros's. I plan to tryout and make an ARENA football team....how's that for a movie script Mr Berg.!!! The movie is hopefully going to get a nomination for best picture, and Billy Bob should get the nod in the best actor category, but the supporting cast and the screenplay are also spectacular. I may be able to add more in the future, but 5 stars for a 5 star experience.......THANKS!!!!!!
