WILDCATS (1986)
Finally, a gridiron movie where the woman isn't the coach's wife. Instead, Goldie Hawn is the drill sergeant at a high school where Nipsey Russell is the principal. Unbelievably, critics called this plot predictable — earn the players' respect, beat your old school where you were the girls' track coach, I get it — but I still find Hawn's participation in the credit-rolling rap surprising. And charming. —Mandi Bierly
