There’s a cess-pit of bad football films out there.

Of course, the discerning viewer will recognise that Any Given Sunday rises above the sentiment and excrement that makes up 90% of the movies in this drama.

It’s a great film. There’s plenty of old-school Pacino filth and grit in there.

And there’s that one, iridescent moment that builds slowly without you even knowing it, until BAM, it’s there, and you know you’re looking at the pinnacle of the movie.

You know what I’m talking about. It’s the Inches Speech. The one that film critics praise as the most convincing Hollywood pep-talk on celluloid.

This one:

But Hollywood had no idea what Oz was holding up its sleeve. So sorry, Hollywood. Sure, Grid Iron is manly and impressive, but it’s got nothing on the wrangly marsupial arse-faced hard men of Ozzy Rules Football and their cut-off vests. And it’s got nothing on their rev-up speeches, either.

Please, watch and learn.

If the comments section below that short lesson in manliness is to be believed, that team went on to lose by twenty points.

Too effin’ bad, mate.
