who doesn’t love football movies? but they only come out once in a while, so sometimes you have to just get excited when they’re playing football in a movie. and it happens in tons of movies! but i like these ones.

football? what’s a football?

10. class act
duncan pinderhughes stumbles into the stupid people gym class (there’s more to the plot than that), where part of the curriculum for the day is every student must kick a football. and he can kick that ball as hard as happy gilmore can golf. so he’s gonna be the coach’s star player, but that never really pans out and his football career begins and ends in this scene. i guess the point of this scene was to get just some football into the mix.

9. the sure thing
john cusack does what any horny guy does. try to impress chicks by doing things, like catching a football. they’re impressed, but it doesn’t get him laid. but look how cool he looks with that ball!

8. fast times at ridgemont high
forest whitaker is ready to shit and kill lincoln because yknow the story, his car was totaled, so anyway him being a big scary dude, and having his car messed with, he takes out all that aggression on the field and shits and kills them all.

7. point break
when it gets dark and surfers can’t surf anymore for the day, they toss balls at each other and get into a game of exciting night ball. add 20 parked cars with their headlights shining for spotlight and none of them running out of battery and kind stranger johnny utah and you have the perfect night football game. just remove lori petty.

6. the brady bunch movie
marcia gets hit by a football while innocently checking on her football loving and playing brothers. they hit her beautiful nose right in the face. JUST LIKE IN THE TV SHOW. and then she has a gross bruised flat nose. and becomes much less fuckable.

5. three kings
like all dudes, when dudes are bored, they shoot and blow and throw things. so while the soldiers are bored in the desert, they strap bombs to nerf footballs and shoot them in the air and stuff. football!

4. ladybugs
jonathon brandeis :( sees his dream girl when he runs for a flying football outside of school. in lots of kid movies, a kid will be outside, and someone tosses them a ball and then they have to catch it and they fall. it’s great.

3. starship troopers
dis some crazy future world football. it’s played on what looks like a basketball court. ow, that must hurt to get knocked down. luckily, when they get knocked down most of the time it makes them like fly or something. what a fun game.

2. flash gordon
flash must fight all those dudes, but being the big dumb football player he is, he can’t unless he’s holding a football. now he’s got it! all he has to do is knock down the bad guys and pretend he’s playing football! YAY!

1. the room
#1 goes to the movie with the most random football scenes. this is not a football movie. but there are like 4 football scenes, most involving some sort of football injury. if you don’t know, now you know.

*honorable mention: sorority boys
how many football scenes involve wet hot girls with huge boobs? i couldn’t think of any besides this gem. did i mention they’re like pretty good at football too?

*honorable mention #2: the faculty
they don’t really play football because they’ve turned into the weird maggot monsters, but we know they’d like to play. they’re just too monstery and gross now.
