What's the best soccer movie

[jmeek19]

has anyone watched: Goal! The Dream Begins!

[FWS93]

new one to add for consideration

Maradona: the Hand of god- finally released on DVD in north america a few months back it is a really good film, although not a lot of field action

has anyone watched: Goal! The Dream Begins!

Yes, it was a good movie about being a player. It was inspiring and fun to watch.

This is my shout out to "Mean Machine". The soccer version of "The Longest Yard".

aye....I'm with you there

shaolin soccer

[Dr.Mersa]

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!!!



Thats plain jokes and its true too:D

Football Factory. Yeah I know it's wrong but it still gets my blood pumping...

[soccermastery]

I think Shaolin Soccer and Bend it like Beckam are the best soccer movies.

[zatopek]

perhaps this is the best one - actually::D

Im glad someone else on here mentioned the baseball movie Fever Pitch, I was beginning to wonder if I was the only one that had heard or seen it. I havent seen the soccer based Fever Pitch, but will see if I can come across a copy somewhere.

Ive seen and liked Victory,Bend it Like Beckham, and Once in a Lifetime. Ive also seen other documentaries on soccer and the US womens team that won the World Cup.

I will have to check out alot of the others mentioned if I can find them at Movie Gallery or Video Warehouse or if they come on TV.

Does anyone know if "The Other Final" is available on Region 1?
I've only come across copies that work on European DVD players.

Without a doubt, Victory with Sly. hahaha

[veyron2008]

I would say that the best all time soccer movie would have to be Bend It Like Beckem. I thought it was both funny and educational.

I am pretty sure I rented that on Netflix. A brilliant movie. I change my vote! Thanks for reminding me. Any soccer fan needs to see this film.

dunno if mentioned, guess not many none germans have seen it but i would say "das wunder von bern"...movie about the german team winning the world cup 54.

goal I+II are good, too.
escape to victory..mmm haven't seen that since i was a kid.

[Leeds92]

Fever Pitch was great. Enjoyed Mean Machine as well.

Fav is still "Who is Jimmy Grimble". Who would honestly sign for Man City over Man Utd????

Just curious, does anyone remember the Sean Bean film where he played for Sheffield Utd???

Also there was one where a woman played for QPR and scored in the FA cup final. Not my cup of tea but interested what it was called. Know it starred Dennis Lawson (Wedge from Star Wars).......

[JogaUsa]

Goal, and Goal 2 Living The Dream were really good. The new one being released this summer should be great, although I cant see Mexico winning the World Cup.:D

[zhalexei]

Hey, lads, the best movie about football - is a FOOTBALL GAME!!!

[Neapolitan Mastiff]

Goal 2 and La mano de dios
