NFL Football is a sport that has drawn a number of avid fans through the years—and inspired a number of parties, and party movies, that celebrate the NFL in all its victorious glory.

A winning ‘playbook’ of NFL Football movies could include:

Brian’s Song-- directed by Buzz Kulik, starring James Caan, Billy Dee Williams, and Jack Warden
Knute Rockne All American—directed by Lloyd Bacon and William K. Howard, starring Ronald Reagan
Invincible—directed by Brad Gann, starring Mark Wahlberg, Greg Kinnear
North Dallas Forty—directed by Ted Kotcheff, starring Nick Nolte, Charles Durning, Mac Davis
Rudy-- directed by David Anspaugh, starring Sean Astin, Jon Favreau, Ned Beatty
Quarterback Princess—directed by Noel Black, starring Helen Hunt
The Replacements—directed by Howard Deutch, starring Keanu Reeves, Gene Hackman
Wildcats—directed by Michael Ritchie, starring Goldie Hawn
Lucas—directed by David Seltzer, starring Corey Haim, Kerry Green, Charlie Sheen
While many of these films concern NFL teams and games, others are fictional or biographical accounts of people who excelled at the game of football, despite insurmountable odds. All of these films are sure to score a touchdown with NFL Football party guests; especially if they’re supplemented by a full range of theme-related party supplies.

These could include football piñatas, an oversized plastic or paper mache football as a centerpiece, whistles and bouncy balls in the shape of footballs that can double as take home party favors, and wall art that depicts legendary NFL players such as Joe Namath, Rosie Grier and Joe Montana. Tableware (plates, napkins, bowls, etc.) should come in bright, festive colors that are still masculine, such as red, brown, black and dark green. And don’t forget to include small chocolate footballs and icing decorations among the refreshments! Pennants and stickers representing popular teams could adorn the walls, and also would make nice take home party favors.
