Yeah, they'll be making inside jokes with each other for years after watching a movie like that.
Dude, nice INT! VERY VERY NICE I LIKE!

Miracle has a great scene about forgetting who you are as an individual and focusing on who you represent. Then of course the story is a great example of what a united, focused group can accomplish.

For all of you 80s fans, who can pass up Ampipe football "All the Right Moves."

I second "Facing the Giants". The ideal thing would be if you could edit clips from various movies together into kind of a montage of sorts.
Here is a list of a few scenes I have cued up for my teams:
1. Miracle--"Again!" scene when Eurruzione finally says "I play for the United States of America" and Herb Brooks finally lets them stop skating.
2. Rocky--Take your pick of scenes
3. Remember the Titans--Scene when the team finally comes together at practice. The whole "left side--strong side" deal brings tears to my eyes every time.
4. Rocky II--"What have we been waiting for purpose!" when Adrian wakes up from her coma.
5. Friday Night Lights "Perfect Speech".
6. Braveheart--When the armies are lined up right before battle and William Wallace is giving his pep talk. I show that scene and later ask then "Who is going to be William Wallace?" Every team needs a William Wallace.
I'm sure I am forgetting a few but those were pretty good. Especially the Braveheart one.

may sound a little corny... but i like The Last Samurai. you can play up on certain messages thorughout the movie.... second chances, humility, facing impossible odds, honor, being your brothers keeper, and warrior spirit - when tom cruise continues to try to get up after being beaten over and over by the samurai. also can taqlk about those who came before you and carrying on tradition. also really enjoyed Go Tigers! - documentary about massilon,oh high school program

I agree 100% with Remember the Titans on the unity theme, but I still get goosebumps when I watch We Are Marshall:
"My shoulder's fine, coach"
"This shoulder, here?" (Slaps it, hard)
"My shoulder's fine."
"Can you take a hit?" (Slaps it again, harder)
(Almost screaming through clenched teeth)
"MY SHOULDER'S FINE."

lionhart' I too enjoyed "Go Tigers", But with the drinking scenes, and swearing, do you think it is a good one to show the kids? Or do you use it as a teaching tool, of how not to be.

film montage --- Stripes "lean mean fighting machine" -- Animal House "Did we quit when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?" -- History of the world part one "Its good to be the king"
-- Young Frankenstein - "what hump?" - Blazing Saddles - "Mongo like candy" and Caddy Shack - "So I got that going for me"

I'd recommend the documentaries "1" or "Perfect Effort" about De La Salle football. Both are well done and feature real kids making sacrifices and giving extra effort for the good of the team.

I think people are limiting themselves when they only think of football movies as team movies. If the movie gets your 'team" together more, and gets them cooperating/having fun together, then it is a team movie IMO.
