"Brian's Song" (1971): A landmark television drama, this true story made stars of James Caan and Billy Dee Williams as football-playing peers Brian Piccolo and Gale Sayers, whose bond didn't waver in the face of serious illness. "The Longest Yard" (1974): The remake went for broader laughs, but director Robert Aldrich's original is a perfect blend of humor and brawn, with Burt Reynolds as a former player who coaches fellow inmates against guards. "North Dallas Forty" (1979): The screen version of Peter Gent's novel has an authenticity that lets you feel every ache of Nick Nolte's character. As a player who challenges his team's owners, he's superb, as is singer Mac Davis as the charismatic quarterback who knows how the game is played ... in every sense. Turner Classic Movies shows the picture as part of a night of football films Tues- day, Sept. 5, just before the NFL season starts. "All the Right Moves" (1983): This gritty but earnest high-school-football drama helped Tom Cruise along his road to stardom. "Rudy" (1993): Sean Astin is affecting in the title role of this true drama about an unlikely player for the Univer- sity of Notre Dame. "Any Given Sunday" (1999): Director Oliver Stone captures every crunch on the field and every maneuver in the boardroom with his saga of a pro team facing big changes, as the coach (Al Pacino) and the team's new president (Cameron Diaz) clash over everything including the latest quarterback (Jamie Foxx). "Remember the Titans" (2000): The Disney studio got on a trail of inspirational sports dramas with this true story of a new high-school coach (Denzel Washing- ton) who unites his racially divided team in early-1970s Virginia. "Friday Night Lights" (2004): A darker side of small-town high-school football comes to the fore in direc- tor Peter Berg's fine, frank drama, with Billy Bob Thornton as the coach and country-music star Tim McGraw in an impressive acting turn as a player's father. bestof ...
