The Little Giants didn't even get a mention

Radio didn't get mentioned on the list either.

Well Radio and Little Giants I don't think were very serious football films. This was (with the exception of the Replacments and the Waterboy) a poll for serious football films.

They forgot the most important serious football film of all time: <a href="http://www.ultimatedisney.com/endzone.html">Angels in the Endzone</a>.

Who could forget such a timeless classic?

And what about Gus? I'm tired of field goal kickers getting no respect.

Yeah, seriously. What about The Garbage Picking, Field Goal Kicking, Philadelphia Phenomenon?

NO RESPECT!

And Radio isn't on the list because it sucked ass.

The Little Giants, though? C'mon.

IMO I think they both sucked ass.

They may have left some good movies off the list but I definitely think Remember the Titans and Rudy deserve to be at the very top of the list (right where they are).

I liked (The Program) the best.

Varsity Blues was pretty good also.

Hey, what about (Wildcats) with Goldie Hawn. Remember that one?

Oh ya and, Jonny Be Good!

I miss the 80's...

I was just looking at the list again and Lucas was left off. Lucas is a really cute football movie. For those who have never seen it, it has a young Corey Haim, Charlie Sheen, Kerri Green and Winona Ryder.

I HATE all the sport-movies, but Remember the Titans was okay, the best sport-movie I have ever seen.
