19. The Longest Yard (2005)
Adam Sandler is known for playing out-of-shape schlubs and very average joes, but for once, he was an all-star MVP in The Longest Yard. A remake of the hard-hitting Burt Reynolds movie from 1974, The Longest Yard follows Sandler as Paul Crewe, a disgraced NFL star who forms a team of inmates to play against their abusive guards. (Burt Reynolds also co-stars in the remake, this time playing the team’s coach.) While this ‘05 remake goes for more laughs than its grittier predecessor, it’s still a down-and-dirty football flick teeming with testosterone.
