Grab your popcorn and the tissues

So the Super Bowl isn't your thing, or maybe you're just not into it this year.

Or maybe you like your football with a little drama on the side, deflated balls not withstanding. Perhaps you're up for a different breed of sports hero.

How about a good old-fashioned football movie instead?

We polled some of the Times News staff members, including the editorial and sports departments, and asked them to share their favorite football movies.

Here are the top five:

1. Rudy

2. Remember the Titans

3. The Blind Side

4. We Are Marshall

5. Jerry Maguire and Brian's Song (tied)

Our Facebook poll yielded almost identical results:

1. Rudy

2. Remember the Titans

3. The Blind Side

4. Brian's Song

5. We Are Marshall

If football leaves you cold, even the ones that will have you sobbing in your popcorn, there are plenty of other options.

You could head to the local cinema and catch up on this year's Oscar-nominated films.

American Sniper, starring Bradley Cooper, and The Imitation Game, starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Keira Knightly, are playing at the Mahoning Valley Cinema, as well as theaters in Allentown and Bethlehem. If you feel like traveling to the Lehigh Valley, you could also catch Birdman and Selma.

Don't feel like going out, there are plenty of great recently released movies to watch On Demand.
