Remeber the Titans has Hayden Panettiere! Even though she was like 11 at the time, so that's kinda creepy. It also has Ryan Gosling and Will Patton who both rock.

But the movie itself, while entertaining enough, was kinda preaching to the choir I think. But maybe that's because I'm not American.

But I think Matt is right. Sports movies, in general, are predictable. Even mroso than romantic comedies.

Here's the gist of the plot:

The team sucks.

The team gets a player/coach/cheerleader that gets them into shape.

The team overcomes internal problems and starts winning.

The team loses the player/coach/thing that got them great, or at least the team's morale drops to a all time low during the BIG GAME.

THEN Emilio Esteves gives a firebrand speech that turns the tide!

The Team wins OR learns that it's not about winning or losing, blah blah blah.


Btw. anybody seen the original ending for Dodgeball? That's one of the greatest endings of all time. Not just in a sports movie.

Again, watch the original ending for Dodgeball.

Actually - though it's never shown - the Miami Sharks loses the final game (for the pantheon cup) in Any Given Sunday.

'We Are Marshall' only wins 9 games over a period of 10 years.

I haven't seen anybody mention The Program yet, that's a good college football movie.

The best footie (soccer) movie has got to be 'There's only one Jimmy Grimble'.  It's not that well known but it's really funny and shows proper school football, all mud, sweat and tears.  Brilliant movie.


Check out my scripts...if you want to, no pressure.
