Game films




OK, I've actually watched  movies that were not made in the 1970s. Here's one. "Wedding Crashers." Vince Vaughn at his best. Classic Christopher Walken performance. And one of the funniest football scenes ever filmed.

It's a great look at both backyard football and eccentric, dysfunctional upper class families. Both are so much fun to watch. It's the best touch football scene in movie history along with the one from "The Big Chill.'' One has Rachel McAdams, the other has Meg Tilly. That's a toss-up.

Bradley Cooper became a star in this scene. Unfortunately I couldn't find a clip that had the entire football game so here's the best line from the movie uttered by one of the funniest actors I've seen. Crabcakes and football. That's what Maryland does. OK, Ravenstown, Md. Let's see what you've got.
