I like football movies. I like history movies. Are there any good movies about historic football? Most football movies only cover the 70s era at the earliest. Leatherheads is the only football movie I know of that has an older time setting as its set in the 1920s, but it’s a comedy and not very good. What I really want to see is an earnest biopic showing a piece of football history. There’s all these stories from Pre-War football especially in College Football history, with many of the big ticket rivalries spanning well over 100 years. Does anybody know if this has been portrayed in film?
