The Greatest Football Movies You Should Be Streaming Right Now

It might seem strange that Oliver Stone would direct a football movie, but this is one of his more successful films. This compelling drama explores the behind-the-scenes realities of a professional football team.

Based in part on the novel On Any Given Sunday by NFL defensive end Pat Toomay, the film’s cast comprises a long list of Hollywood stars including Al Pacino, Cameron Diaz, Dennis Quaid, James Woods, LL Cool J, Jamie Foxx, and many more—even Charlton Heston.

The title is based on a line from Tony D’Amato, the head coach played by Al Pacino, who says that any football team can lose on any given Sunday.
