Football-related films 21:28 - Mar 1 with 537 views | wessex_exile | Usually shite, occasionally brilliant - what's your favourites, what's your rotten tomatoes? There are so many to choose from, but I'll start (as I watched it again last night) with what I think is one of the best - The Damned United. Honourable mentions go to Escape to Victory, and if the tenuous link is allowed, Gregory's Girl. | |

Didn't take to Escape to Victory at all. I did see one hooligan related film, forget the name, which was a pile of poo. Gregory's Girl is excellent...as is Claire Grogan. | |

I enjoyed it; that's perhaps due to the inner rebel within me. But I would'n't dream of standing, swearing or otherwise misbehaving now that I am a pensioner 😇 | | | |

Football-related films on 18:02 - Mar 2 with 464 views | durham_exile | I agree with the Damned United, but what about the outstanding Mike Bassett England Manager - especially as he was assistant manager at Colchester United (before Norwich City etc.) and Layer Road gets a mention and photograph! Ricky Tomlinson, Amanda Redman, Philip Jackson, Bradley Walsh, Phil Jupitus, with cameos from Barry Venison, Gabby Yorath, Atomic Kitten and Pele - what's not to like!!! Up the U's | |

Aaah, that would be Green Street - absolutely terrible film. Mike Bassett is a good call, quite enjoyed that one. | |
