Gridiron Still Lacking A Great

In recent times, American football has been a popular theme for sport films. A lot have been made in the last 20 years including hits such as Jerry Maguire, The Blind Side and the inspirational television series, Friday Night Lights. The first great film on the sport came in 1974’s The Longest Yard starring Burt Reynolds. The 2005 remake starring Adam Sandler and a cast of ex-wrestlers was a forgettable experience. Other notable flops include Leatherheads, Little Giants, Quarterback Princess, and Hometown Legend to name a few off a long list. American football seems to be a tough topic to master, and only 2000‘s Remember The Titans seems to stand out from the crowd as the only good representation of the sport.
