Good football movies, are there any?

[Jezz]

Goal! The rise of Santiago Munez and Gavin Harris!

A really old film that I can't remember about Arsenal.

Fever Pitch?

Fever Pitch?

Ha, reeaallyy old, 1930s, Boyne named it for me. Old but good.(The Arsenal Stadium Mystery)

 

[Spudulike]

There's a good episode of 'Whatever happened to the Likely Lads?' about football. I can't say more without spoiling it and it may be on Youtube.

Yes! I actually bought the box set on the back of watching that episode! Brilliant!

As for Sean Bean and 'When Saturday Comes', remember watching that in a hotel in Cardiff, the night before our FA Cup final against Arsenal, got me in the mood big time.

Also, a bit of mindless fun, and plenty of Eastenders cameo's, I give you I.D:

Not seen it in a while, but loved it in my teens!

for those of us with slightly older memories, there is from 1982. The world cup: A captains tale, is a drama about west auckland f.c who played in the sir thomas lipton trophy, a precursor to the world cup starring dennis waterman, nigel hawthorne, richard griffiths, is well worth a watch.

 

[Peckham Blue]

What was the one with Ian McShane in it, played for a team called Leicester Forest?

Yesterday's Hero?

 

[Peckham Blue]

That's the one, I saw it at the pictures. I liked the way they blended it into Forest being at Wembley in the league cup.

I have been trying to think of a football film I have enjoyed and I cant think of any except Damn Utd, then again I am becoming a big fan of Michael Sheen.

Hated The Football Factory not that it was a bad film I have just hoped for many years that someone would make a decent film about Chelsea fans and what it was really like particularly in the 70's and 80's. If only I had the talent or money, even if it was fictional I just want something realistic.

 

[Boyne]

Not a film but a TV programme. In an episode of Minder there is a scene at the start where Terry is at the Bridge and is called to the office to take a call from Arthur. If I can find it I'll post.

 

[Blue Exile]

Looking For Eric was pretty good.

 

[Englishman]

The Damned United is one of the best. Mike Bassett England Manager is quite an amusing satire.

Also love this scene from Kes:

Apparently 'Marvellous' has one an RTS award. If you've not yet had the pleasure some background:

[Tarantino]

There was a film with Ally McCoist and Robert Duvall in it but I can't remember the title.

[drjonesy1994]

One Jimmy Grimble! seem to remember watching this quite a lot when I was younger.

Also not a film but tv series called "Dream Team" Carl Fletcher was my hero.

 

[Zola]

I actually really liked the first one haha. The other 2 were a bit sh*t.

Mike Bassett England manager also.
