The greatest college football movie of all time* is "Horsefeathers",starring the 4 Marx Bros. from 1932. It got The 4 Marx Bros. on the cover of Time. And is as true to life today,as it was then. In case you have never seen it. Or need to see it again. Here it is in 9 parts .So make some popcorn and Enjoy ! ;D *arguably.

Knute Rockne, All-American... former president pays the Gipper
The Program. Wish they'd re-release the DVD with the missing scene.
Best football scene in a movie, ever...... - MASH "spearchucker" jones... what a great (although un PC nickname.)

hey now ... let's not mess up my(not so)serious thread with Reaganomics Texxx... we need another thread for politics. ;D In the 1st article sited, a docudrama was chosen #1. the next 2 are not college football movies , and then ... 4. Horse Feathers (1932): The Marx Brothers' comedy (and musical!) classic shows that not much has changed in college football... sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2006/writers/pete_mcentegart/08/25/ten.spot/index.htmlHere we have espns take.... The best of these are the quirky satires -- "The Freshman" (1925) and "Horse Feathers" (1932). The former features the brilliant Harold Lloyd as Harold "Speedy" Lamb, a naïve, geeky figure who longs to be a big man on campus. He rides the pine -- essentially as the team's waterboy -- until, in desperation, the coach sends him in and a miracle play ensues, helping Speedy achieve his goal. In the latter, the Marx Brothers are absolutely hilarious in this witty, irreverent look at the distorted influence football had on college at the time. (It stands the test of time because in many ways that influence is still out of whack.)
The new Huxley College president, Professor Wagstaff (Groucho Marx), addressing a couple of professors standing in his office: Wagstaff: "Have we got a stadium?" "Yes." Wagstaff: "Have we got a college?" "Yes." Wagstaff: "Well, we can't support both. Tomorrow we start tearing down the college."sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=williams/080404I actually have The Freshman as #2. Superpicker. Here's another top 5 pick ... www.kcchiefs.com/news/2007/07/02/gretz_the_best_football_movies/
