The football classic North Dallas Forty starring Nick Nolte.

It's Super Bowl weekend. If you're getting geared up for the game, you might want to watch a few movies to put you in the right mood. Mark Jordan Legan has some reviews of the best and worst of the "pig skin pics." He delves into everything from the 1940's classic "Knute Rockne All American" to the 1970's oddity "Gus" about a field goal kicking mule.
