Football Films

[SB005]

There is no denying the so so poor accent attempt. Assume your talking about the main character LS?? The guy with the shaved head. But I did still enjoy it. You should definately watch the second one, I have noticed it on Sky Movies this week I think, if anything, it'll make you appreciate the first one more!!!

I quite enjoyed "Whan Saturday Comes" with Sean Bean. I also enjoyed the Football
Factory which,despite some comments,actually depicted the futility of football hooliganism rather than glamourising it.

Can anyone remember 'Yesterday's Hero ? Ian McShane.

 

[robinsonsgrin]

quite enjoyed green street....but probably agree that ID was the best...
the firm that was pleasurable due to the appearance of littlehampton seafront! the parents in that were quality too....

Why all this praise for the football hooligan film ?. Admiring knuckle draggers whose lives are defined with punching a strangers face iin becuase they wear a different colour shirt. Pathetic.

The best football film for me is " Goal ".

It's hardly pathetic. Films like the football factory are entertaining, doesn't mean we all want to be like them.

I saw a clip of that on 'The Beautiful Frame,' a programme presented by Clare Grogan all about football and its relationship with film and TV. I'll try to upload it later today for those of you interested in this thread.

yeah that's the guy! who ever the actor was, he should've been replaced by danny dyer: a true genius and fantastically-versatile performer (something I think we can all agree on...)

cheers, don't have sky movies but will no doubt download the sequel at some point when i fancy a laugh

Has anyone seen The Other Half? It's not bad and pretty chick friendly too.

 

[TonyBloomsPokerFace]

I agree. My choice would be the classic " Escape to Victory "

Escape to Victory is great.

I love the way these "old school hooligans" try and give the whole scene some kind of credible history when it is obvious to anyone with a brain cell that it is a bunch of arseholes running about ruining other peoples days. Most of these idiots spend half their lives boozing it down the pub whilst their kids and wife spend most of their time alone with the ocassional smack in the face to let them know they have a husband.

What's worse is the sadarses that still continue it in their forties etc.

Also when they watch these shit films they bang on a bout how great those days were when in fact most of the films try to illustrate what an ultimately shite waste of time it is.

couldn't agree more.....hmmmm, I'll take 'Gregory's Girl' if it's an option.

 

[Leekbrookgull]

Goldstone,that film does not seem to show anywhere,you can't buy it & very little of it on Youtube. Any idea's ?

 

[Mackenzie]

ID is the best of its type.

 

[littlehamptonbha]

enjoyed the remake of the firm,as a couple of me mates are in as extras in seafront bit which was filmed in littlehampton

 

[Arthur]

f***ing classic!

 

[albionalex]

Awaydays

Probably the biggest load of tosh I have ever seen and I go to Withdean every week!

 

[auschr]

f***ing classic!

 

[jimmypbha]

What about The Damned United? Is it any good?

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

Shame there is no football film about the rivalry between Brighton and Crystal Palace in the 1970s. Maybe those behind The Damned United could make it!

 

[Basil Fawlty]

For me it has to be ID.

Just been watching Mean Machine with Vinne Jones and was wondering what people's favourite football films or films with a connection with football were.

Also, Vinne Jones in Eurotrip as a Manchesther United fan is hilarious.

Anyone got any favourites?

return to green street, stand your ground, brilliant
