Remember the Titans (2000)
Remember the Titans (2000)
This is easily my favourite in the list and that is because of how many different issues it comes up against, something that is truly outstanding from start to finish. We will remember the titans!

Rudy (1993)
A young man who dreamed of nothing more than playing football for Notre Dame and it really does have such an incredible ending.
03
Concussion (2015)
Concussion (2015)
An in-depth look at concussion and how a Doctor fought to change the rules to help protect the players. Something which has seen transferred to many different sports.
04
Any Given Sunday (1999)
Any Given Sunday (1999)
This has quite possibly one of the best speeches in a sports film, it’s truly incredible and inspirational. So much so that I have heard it played on many different coaching courses.
05
The Blind Side (2009)
The Blind Side (2009)
A family coming together to help the young man out, Bullock receiving an Oscar for her efforts (in all honesty didn’t think she was that good) but an inspiring film.

Draft Day (2014)
I found this one a very interesting look behind the scenes at the draft and how dodgy it all is, we don’t have anything like this in the UK.

Jerry Maguire (1996)
A look into the agents in the game and how they do everything for the players they represent.
What are your favourite American Football films?
Great list! I am also a fan of “Invincible” from 2006, about the guy who makes the team even though he wasn’t drafted…all of these are terrific films
Oh, I am pretty sure I have seen that on Netflix but never actually watched it. I will have to add it to my sports films list!
It’s a well done TRUE story, which I like…also, not an NFL film but the original “Friday Night Lights” film with Billy Bob Thornton is also a great football movie
Love Remember the Titans!
Friday Night Lights is one that didn’t make your list that I like a lot. Great original soundtrack on that one too.
I haven’t seen that one, will have to add that to my watch list!
It’s one of those films that I cannot help but watch whenever it’s on!
Concussion is the only one there I haven’t seen – I will have to check it out! Great list 🙂
It really is worth watching!
