There are tons of football movies, your thread is poorly researched

Friday Night Lights and Rudy are kino.

>Why is a sport about individual triumph more translatable to film than a sport involving dozens of people?

boxing used to be way more popular than football back in the day. I think it was boxing baseball and horseracing as the big three

this, it's obviously way more visceral and visually ripe

This. Boxing has a more obvious character arc to write than "guy trains to catch ball occasionally if everyone around him succeeds too"

Who will play him in the inevitable biopic?

>Catch Ball
>in Football

Uh... are you an Ameritard? You know that you play football with the... you know... foot?

Bend it like Beckham was the first capitalist film to be permitted into North Korea (with the opiate of the masses, homosex and interracial edited out). Quite an achievement. If only our talented filmmakers were allowed to flourish under the Juche system, we would see more like it.

it's real simple

Only in irrelevant countries.

It's one on one.

That's made for film. While football can be made into movie and quite well you have to focus on a team and then make that team and a least a few people in it likeable and follow all those plotlines.

In a boxing movie you've got way more time to flesh out each character or make the opposing character just be a robot for the good guy to punch the shit out of.

Way, way easier to do a multitude of narratives with.

Because covering a team requires you to introduce and develop a whole slew of characters, which has only been done successfully in a few films.

Also I'm assuming you mean real (American) football, not that foot fairy trash that would put anyone in their right mind to sleep.

>gentleman's sport
Compares african monkey howling and aboriginese spear chucking to it. You don' goof'd

I love every part of that scene aside from them asking for divine intervention at the end. It's such good advice.

Praying for holy intervention in a fucking game is either retarded if you don't believe or blasphemy if you do. Don't bring God into a fucking petty game of people slamming their skulls into oblivion.

One on one, very physical, seen as "classic."

We'll start to see an influx of MMA movies in the 2020s.

Is Moneyball the best baseball kino?

>football
>not feetball

Rob Lowe

The Pride of the Yankees and The Natural are better.

it's shit

No.

Boxing is one of the worst, ugliest sports on the planet and should have been banned like foxhunting decades ago and it only still exists because of a disgusting craving for bloodsports.

That so many films glorify it as a noble sport is vile.

...

lmao that movie is barely even about baseball

go watch the ken burns documentary you absolute philistine

Do you get a good internet connection from your cuckshed?

redbelt is already MMAkino

Because you can train any actor to pretend to box, but it takes years to learn how to control a football.

like that shit film Warrior?

>Friday Night Lights
Football, not handegg

it's incredibly simple to do a boxing film

>guy has dream of kicking ass
>guy finds crusty old trainer
>train and work way up in ranks
>fuck some bitch somewhere in there
>get big fight
>win big fight while hero music plays

Cause football is for poofs.

Well Raging Bull is nothing like what you just mentioned

Raging Bull is hardly about boxing though.

Easier to film.

>2016+2days
>not calling it the anatomically correct name of 'feetball'

Rudy is the shittiest sports film of all time.

North Dallas Forty was kino. Nick Nolte kino at that.

it would be interesting to see a director make a movie about an american football trying to make it.

a lot of football players go through a lot.

it suck how they always focus on the team aspect instead of the individual

Rudy isn't a football movie, it's a Notre Dame wankfest explaining to everyone no matter how great your life is, being a loser at Notre Dame would be better

This is an American website, Mohammed. Your """sport""" is a children's game here.

>posts a picture of dez "chimpout" bryant

name a cooler chimp senpai

>We won because of meme tactics and not because of having an all star rotation and a roided MVP
No, The Natural, Field of Dreams, Major League and Bull Durham are better.

Boxing/ man fighting is essentially the only sport, people watch football, hockey, basketball always hoping that a fight will breakout, and if it does the crowd goes wild and its the main part of the match talked about after.

no ones ever watched a boxing match and hoped for a game of football to break out
