Looking at the previews for “Friday Night Lights,” the fall’s new TV series based on the 2004 movie, we started to wonder what a list of the 10 best high school football movies ever would look like. Was the series’ namesake the best ever? Which ones might push it for the top spot? Or the most common question we got: “Are there 10?” As your resident movie guru and high schools football writer, I was asked to give my take on which films score a touchdown and which ones barely make it onto the field. Along the way, I’ll answer the most important question: “Yes, there are 10.”

7. The Slaughter Rule (2002): This recent independent film was an impressive writing/directing debut for Andrew and Alex Smith. David Morse and Ryan Gosling are excellent as a high schooler (Gosling) who finds solace in six-man football after the death of his dad, and the coach who he becomes close to (Morse).
