Take the fat uncoordinated smart ass kid and stick him in the goaltenders position, and watch the hilarity ensue. We guess that is the formula for Greg Goldberg, the unlikely backstopper for the Mighty Ducks franchise. As this is a film, we will try to forget the complete unlikelihood of this kid being able to stop a beachball let alone a puck.

In the paper thin characters given in the 1986 Football film, Wildcats, you would hope that the Quarterback would stand out a little bit. He does, but only marginally. Levander ‘Bird’ Williams was the talent of the team, though he was having more fun (naturally) as a petty criminal. It was the only football playing role that was given a smidge of dimension, and we actually got see its portrayer, Mykelti Williamson, act in much better roles in the future. Although the film wasn’t great, it remains a favorite of Football fans, so if anyone should get in, it should be “Bird”.

This one may be a little tricky. Heaven Can Wait was a well-respected film, and Football was a big part of it. There were cameos by legit NFL stars (like Deacon Jones) and the end goal was to win the Super Bowl, but film was more known for the dramatic vehicle for Warren Beatty. Beatty did not look like a Quarterback, especially a very young one, which he was supposed to portray, but as this was more of a fantasy type of picture, it seems to be easy to overlook. The problem here is that the movie does not seem to have much a life now, and is not often thought of in the pantheon of Football films.
Also is it just us, or does the sacrifice of Tom Jarrett put a damper on things? Seriously, where did he wind up? Either way, this is one where we will be fascinated to see how many votes are accrued.
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Heaven Can Wait (1978)
Actor:
Warren Beatty

Quarterback

Why you should vote for him:
It was a Super Bowl win by Beatty. That is the point of Football after all.

For some reason, the legacy of this film is not there.
