One of the best football movies ever. Varsity Blues is my favorite movie of all time. I quote the movie all the time. James Van Der Beek did a great job and it was a really different for him because he always played as Dawson Leery on Dawson Creek.

Easily one of the best football movies of recent times. Yes, it's just another teen drama, but Jon Voight brings respectability to this movie in his role and the take no b.s. head coach of the West Canann Coyotes. Really a classic sports movie.

One of the best football movies out there, imo. James Van der Beek did a great job in a very different role for him, leaving behind his naive Dawson Leery character. I love sports movies in general, and this one is great. It's surprising and fun....
