Top Ten Movies About Football - Quarterback Edition

Obviously there will be some debate about this, but after some research and juggling in my mind I narrowed it down to the Ten I would want to be on the field with the game on the line.

#10 - Reno Hightower - "The Best of Times"

Luther Jackson: Uh, two minutes left to kick-off. Time for my last smoke.
Reno Hightower: You lazy jive-ass! You're soft, you're slow and your hands are for shit!
Luther Jackson: Hey, who woke you up?
Reno Hightower: Get on the field and shut up, Luther!
Luther Jackson: Reno, you're a prick, and you always were a prick.
Reno Hightower: Great, great. Now get your ass on the field. NOW!!
You just can't argue with that type of leadership. Giving it and taking it. I mean the guy comes out of retirement from his auto mechanic shop to assist an old classmate, who happens to be a bit of a loser, for a rematch of a game against a cross-town rival and they pull off the upset. Classic stuff.
