The best Football movie to own on Blu? - Blu-ray Forum

MD-Blu · 08-28-2010, 04:44 PM

With the Football Season just a week or 2 away, I'm wanting to get a Football movie on Blu which I haven't gotten yet. I know there's quite a few that are on Blu-ray and I just want your all opinions on which one are the best picture and audio to own.

Remember the Titans, although that's not a bad idea, I will probably watch all the football movies I own soon.

especially during the field scenes, the cuts were quick and sharp and vary from shaky handheld cam to extreme close ups to slow motion to and odd angles.
an example, starting at :36
It was done in a way to emulate if you were actually on the field and it works, and Stone hit a nice stride with this film, however it takes a little getting used to as it is not filmed or edited conventionally by any stretch of the imagination.

Rudy and Remember the Titans are also based on a true story.

My vote goes to Rudy and Remember the Titans.

WolfmanOz · 08-31-2010, 03:07 AM

Well for gridiron Football I'd go for Any Given Sunday.

As for soccer Football it would have to be The Damned United.
