We can almost hear him yelling ''Touchdown!'' Director Oliver Stone must be doing a victory dance after his pigskin flick Any Given Sunday, starring Jamie Foxx, charged its way to the No. 2 slot. This was quite a score for Stone, whose last film, U-Turn, didn't even crack the rental charts back in 1998. Meanwhile, a shower of new releases, including Madonna's cutesy romance The Next Best Thing (No. 6), finally forced American Beauty to uproot after 16 weeks in the top 20.
