Going to watch this over the weekend. Will be the subtitled version. Never seen it and looking forward to a new experience.

This scene from Mike Bassett, the infamous half time team talk. I think most of us have, at one time or another, hoped City or Wales (or whoever) needed an absolute bollocking at half time. Bassett delivers this superb rant but probably the funniest bit follows when it transpires that the roasting he's given the team has made no difference at all and they've gone on to be battered!

I saw somewhere that the scene was never scripted. Ricky Tomlinson was given licence to shout and swear and say what he wanted.

Arsenal Stadium Mystery. Oldie but goodie

Fever Pitch
Mark Strong as Steve is brilliant.

It's quite hard to get hold of. DVD on eBay is around £2.99 (not many) but a BluRay goes for £40! Nothing available on Amazon.

Got it on Apple in the end in Cantonese with English Subtitles! :popcorn: tonight! :xmasthumbup:

Watched it last night with Mrs Citizen. Loved it. Totally off-the-wall but a great watch and fun. Good call! :thumbup:

Lebanon wins The World Cup.

Not my favourite football film, but well worth a watch:

Yeah his films aren't everyone's cup of tea, but I enjoy them. Totally over the top, but funny. Kung Fu Hustle is another good one of his

Someone's renewed their BFI subscription :wink:

Looking For Eric

It's in my library but I've not got around to watching it. I lasted the first 10 mins and it just didn't grab me but I should go back to it. Anybody on here seen it? Any good?

Youseff gets his face slashed and when copper asks his name at the hospital he gives a false name - Michael Jackson. Coppers reply "Looks like youre going to be needing some more plastic surgery, Michael"

Summed up the grim 80’s quite well, a young Phil off eastenders in it too I believe….Gary oldman played that role really well, the headbutt…how can I put this….
