Football: Best Movies

[ds6]

Post some of the best football movies you have seen and want to share.

One for me: Hermano (2010)

Drama set in Venezuela (subtitled) and definitely worth checking out, especially if it's still on Netflix.

The Damned United. Came out in 2009 starring Michael Sheen. It's really damn good with a 93% on Rotten Tomatoes.

The 30 for 30 on the Hillsborough disaster is chilling. I had no idea it was as deadly as it was.

My favorite football movie is easily.....
Jack To A King

This movie tells the story of Swansea City's meteoric rise to the premiere league.

Love "Victory" too. the most fun was that our brothers took us all sis to the only a Drive- In theater left in the Bronx.

The British Fever Pitch with Colin Firth was excellent, with one of my favorite all-time movie lines:

Not really a movie but "Dare To Dream" is a really good doc on the USWNT.

The Firm (2009) was pretty good. as a youth i liked to see other youth from different generations portrayed

And the documetnary about QPR and its middle eastern owners

The Firm (2009) was pretty good.

Along these lines, the recent "Hooligan" (documentary) was pretty good, with plenty of real footage that at times is quite shocking.
