Sylvester Stallone’s save In Escape to Victory.
I liked Jimmy Grimble. What was that film where Ray Winstone played a dodgy manager? It wasn’t a great fim, but I liked it because it was gritty and I reckon it was probably quite true to what football is really like.Quote:

Shaolin Soccer - a Stephen Chow hong kong comedy about football.
Very over the top and ridiculous but that's the point with his films.
I D - When they're in the boozer playing the trivial pursuit machine.
Alan Clarkes The Firm with Gary Oldman. One of the original football hooligan films. Some great one liners it.
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"
No one particular scene but the acting and the screen relationship between Michael Sheen and Timothy Spall - who play Clough and Taylor - in The Damned United is superb.
Yes, I think that’s probably one of the better football films. I liked the scene where Leeds turned up for a cup match at Derby and Revie iblanked Clough - dunno how close to the truth it was, but, as a confirmed Revie hater, it was what I wanted to be true.Quote:

Porridge - Fletcher and Godber being 'forced' to escape from prison against their will during a football match and trying to get back in.

Just checked on IMDb and yes. Just ordered a copy on Amazon. Hard to get only on DVD now but I'd like to see it again as I've only seen it the once.Quote:

"Up there Cazaly"! Haven't seen it for a long time, but definitely going to look for it.Quote:

I'm sure that i have it on DVD. Put the trailer up from youtube sludge, i can't do it. Brilliant film, so funny and accurate about the era of self made local business men running professional sports outfits back in the day.Quote:

GOAL! 2 was OK but forget GOAL! 3 as it wasn't even made by the same people and there was no continuity. In other words, it was utter sh*t.

plus that trailer does that very annoying thing of giving away the ending
Those cavemen working up a sweat at the start of the film were actually members of the Collingwood team , the director didn't want extras ruining the raw authenticity of the tough working class nature of aussie rulesQuote:
