Was the movie that Ronald Reagen played in that they said do it for the gipper what's the name of it and was it about Football!
The Best of Times (with Robin Williams and Kurt Russell)
The Last Boy Scout
I hate putting this, cause it's really not about football, but football is a backdrop much like the actual Pearl Harbor was just a backdrop in the movie "Pearl Harbor" but Jerry Maguire is kinda about football.
The Junction Boys
I have seen every movie that has been mentioned and I would rank them like this:
1. Rudy
2. Best of Times
3. Remember the Titans
4. The Waterboy
5. The Longest Yard(2005)
6. North Dallas Forty
7. The Longest Yard(1973)
8. All The Right Moves
9. Friday Night Lights
10. The Junction Boys
-I thought Everybody's All American had a pretty good story as well.
-Another movie with football as a subplot was The Last Boyscout.
-Quarterback Princess is also pretty decent with Helen Hunt playing the starring role in a true story about a girl who tries out for the football team and is forced into the starting lineup at QB after injuries to the 1st and 2nd stringer. Not a bad flick.
-Anyone who loves the oldie classics should try "Moochie plays Pop Warner" which stars the little kid from "Old Yeller." I was surprised in this one with how much attention they paid to the X's and O's...you will see alot of the single wing offense and I saw them run the old statue of liberty a time or two. This one is from the early 50's and truly is a pretty much undiscovered classic.
The movie Ronald Reagan played in was Knute Rockne All American.
Some other movies I would recommend that I have not seen mentioned:
-Jim Thorpe All American(1951) Burt Lancaster...true story
-Saturday's Hero(1952) John Derek
-Paper Lion(1968) Alan Alda...true story
-Footsteps(1972) Richard Crenna
-Semi Tough(1977) Burt Reynolds
-Heaven Can Wait(1978) Warren Beatty
-Grambling's White Tiger(1981) Bruce Jenner...true story
-The Bear(1984) Gary Busey...true story
-Against All Odds(1984) Jeff Bridges
-The Ricky Bell Story(1991) Mario Van Peebles
-School Ties(1994) Brendan Fraser
-The Dennis Byrd Story(1995) Peter Berg
-Possums(1998) Mac Davis
-The Replacements(2000) Keanu Reeves
-Go Tigers(2001) Documentary
-Jim Brown All American(2002) Documentary
-The Second String(2002) John Voight
-Radio(2004) Cuba Gooding
Others:
Gus(1976) Don Knotts
Lucas(1988) Cory Haim
Glory Days(1989) Robert Conrad
Backfield In Motion(1991) Tom and Rosanne Arnold

I knew there was something I was missing off of his original list.
Isn't there a movie called the Ghost or something. I know it had something to do with a rb from LSU and then he went on to play in the pros for washington. But I may be wrong on that. I'm wanting the actor in it is Dennis Quaid (sp).
Air Bud.
Hey man I loved Johnny Be Good, that was my favorite movie back in the day, I aint seen it in forever though. Id like to find that on DVD
Just bought it on EBAY, cant wait to get it in ....
The movie you are remembering is "Everybody's All American." Yes it does star Dennis Quaid as Gavin Grey. His nickname in the movie is "The Grey Ghost."
Thanks man! I wasn't for sure what it was called. I think it is a pretty good movie.
Codebreakers..airs on espn pretty soon..looks pretty decent
what was the tv show on ESPN, Playmakers? I might get that dvd.
Playmakers was fantastic. I hate that the NFL thought it cast a "negative image" of them and politely asked ESPN to change it or drop it. I guess that was what it made it so good was the fact that you knew that could be happening!
What about the Disney Classic with the field goal kicking Donkey/Mule/Horse....Cant remember name came out back in the 70's.
Wasn't the name of that movie Gus
Wasn't Tony Danza the "Garbage Picking, Field Goal Kicking" or something like that?
Ace Ventura had a football backdrop (Snowflake's been taken!).
Yeah the one were he plays for the Eagles or something like that
is HBO's 1st and TEN any good? I saw it on DVD but have never seen any of the episodes. WalMart has the full 80 episodes for under $20 i think. something like $19.98
the garbage picking field goal kicking philadelphia phenomenon!
yes, 1st and 10 is great. Its a comedy drama that ran from 84-91 on HBO, it features Donald Gibb, OJ Simpson, Lawrence Taylor to name a few. Fans of the original series may be slightly disappointed as the first couple of seasons are in poor picture quality, they have added laugh tracks or "canned" laughter have no idea why, they have changed some scenes and I have no idea why, but its still worth 20 bucks for the whole series, I been waiting on this one. Also a great football movie is the biopic about legendary coach Paul Bear Bryant called, "The Bear"
Hometown Legend not on the list anywere http://ia.imdb.com/media/imdb/01/I/37/46/73m.jpg
Not to take a jab at anybody, but I just got done watching the best football movie about the best football fan I have ever seen. If you haven't seen "Shorty", you need to. It is a very moving story and there are a lot of lessons that can be learned by watching it.
