A Shot At Glory.
That was really, really good. I don't miss it whenever it gets shown on any of the Foxtel movie channels here.

Robert Duval was sensational in it, in the lead. And I know it's been discussed before here, but hasn't Duval done other soccer-related movies as well?

[BigKeeper]

but hasn't Duval done other soccer-related movies as well?

Yes, a great one, "Kicking and Screaming".:p

[babytiger2001]

Yes, a great one, "Kicking and Screaming".:p
I think even his agent can give him a pass on that one. :D

He has done others, if memory serves?

doesnt Goal 2 come out this week?

Frankly there aren't any good football films. The best football moment in a film is this:

From the all time classic Kes.

Goal - Watchable only for the gorgeos Anna Friel and cracking soundtrack

Mike Basset - Very funny

Josses Giants - Kids telly series from the late eighties

Because Americans are not as long-winded as Brits.

Example:

Brits: A brilliant strike from 16 yards off the left foot results in the fortitude of the back netting threads being tested.
Americans: GOAL!!!

I personally like "GOAL, GOAL2" it was pretty biased with Newcastle but are great films....

[DrSkillz1800]

Football Factory was good but so was Green Street Hooligans, that movie was freakin rad. Both Goal movies were good but I liked the first one better.

[Glavisted Big Soccer]

I can't remember have seen "Victory", but I remember how was commented as a great movie. From the options I like more "Shaolin Soccer".

[Mosco]

I thought they were gonna make a movie about Maradona but I guess it never worked out

[st mirren till i die]

Escape to Victory is the only film about football which is any good.

[Colm]

Escape to Victory is the best football film actully about football

The football factory and the firm are the best ones about the fans.

Mean Machine was very funny.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Offside. It is a 2006 Iranian movie done in Farsi with English subtitles. It is about Iranian women who try to sneak into the Iran-Bahrain AFC WC 2006 qualifier game in Tehran. I found the DVD at my local Hollywood Video in the new releases section.

I'll also give another vote to The Cup. In case you didn't know already, it is about soccer-obsessed Buddhist monks in Tibet during World Cup '98.

Alright, so Offside and The Cup get my votes. I'm showing my Asian bias. Go AFC! Haha...

Gracie is a pretty good movie.
