Friday Night Lights (2004)Starring: Billy Bob Thornton, Lucas Black, Garrett Hedlund
The only real reason Friday Night Lights made the list is because it paved the way for one heck of a television show. Although the show, the movie and Varsity Blues were all based on the HG Bissinger book that chronicled a West Texas high school football team, it was this movie that created the buzz for the serialized, scripted drama that is fantastic.
In this version Billy Bob plays the coach and he is somewhere in between Jon Voight's Varsity character and Kyle Chandler's on the show, but he's not as good as either of them. None of the players stand out to me and I can't tell you if they won or lost in the end, and that is why it is no higher than ninth.
