6. The Longest Yard (1974)
This 1974 film tells the story of a group of prisoners, led by football player-turned-convict Paul Crewe (Burt Reynolds), who are forced into a game against the prison guards, a game they are not suppose to win. But boy you really want them to beat the pants off those nasty guards, led by the sadistic warden (Eddie Albert). One of the better underdog-wins-all gridiron flicks.
