14 Best Football Movies and/or T.V. Series


By Entertainment Weekly.Link

How do you leave out Knute Rockne All American (1940) but put in Little Giants? Come on.

Memorable quote: "Now I'm going to tell you something I've kept to myself for years. (pause) None of you ever knew George Gipp. (pause) He was long before your time, but you all know what a tradition he is at Notre Dame. (pause) And the last thing he said to me, 'Rock,' he said, 'sometime when the team is up against it and the breaks are beating the boys, tell them to go out there with all they've got and win just one for the Gipper. (pause) I don't know where I'll be then, Rock,' he said, 'but I'll know about it and I'll be happy.'" - Knute Rockne, to his team at halftime of a game against Army. Notre Dame won the game.

I am not a fan of Notre Dame by any means but that's football at it core.
