The 30 Greatest Football Movies Ever Made

#15 - Leatherheads (2008)

It tanked at the box office, but this lightweight comedy about the early days of professional football has its charms and a nice screwball tone. It's content to have fun and not take itself too seriously, and there's good chemistry between Renee Zellweger and the players who love her - hard-nosed George Clooney and war hero John Krasinski.

    Wow not to impressed with the list. I mean Any Given Sunday at the very least should be top 5 if not Number 1. It got beat out by Friday Night Lights and Jerry Maguire.. Jerry Maguire?? Great movie but not a football movie. Who makes these lists? I should. I made an account just to post that because this is just ridiculous. I know rudy belongs in the top and I would have to review some of the older movies but man this is just upsetting. I watch a lot of movies and the only thing I can say when i think about Any Given Sunday is how well made and emotionally appealing it is.

    I like most of the list though I'd probably throw in "The Last Boy Scout" instead of Necessary Roughness - but thats just me. My Top 10 would look more like this: 1. Brian's Song 2) We are the Titans 3) We are Marshal 4) The Longest Yard 5) Friday Night Lights 6) Rudy 7) Invincible 8) Radio 9) North Dallas Forty 10) Knute Rockne All American

    I think its was a pretty accurate list except no one can believe Adam Sandler can play football, let alone sing at a wedding.
