Years ago, i saw a Pele movie - loved it. However, can't remember the name of it. Had to be at least 10 years ago. Anyone know the name of it or where I can get it? Please let me know if you know of any of those movies, i'll have to see if i can find it.

Thanks in advance

"Victory", perhaps? Which also had Sylvester Stallone and Michael Caine? That's the only I know of offhand.

might be "Hotshots" too..

I think Pele is a teacher of a struggling player with an atitude (Krisitidis)

.. that might be it

you might want to do a search on IMDB.com

I remember there was another one as well....had some story about a rich American that was a bit alienated from his Father going down to Brazil and Pele ends up teaching him the game....Pretty bad movie, if I recall..but I was like 8 when I saw it, so I thought it was cool......

The only Pele movie I've seen is "Victory" which was made in 1981 in which he co-starred with Michael Caine & Sylvester Stallone. The aforementioned characters were Allied POWs held by the Germans during WWII. The German camp commandant was a football fan and they ultimately organized and put on a football game pitting the Allied All-Stars against the German All-Stars. It's a fine movie - I recommend it to anybody who likes football/soccer & WWII. Enjoy.

It was called hot shots, the kid got to play for the Cosmos in a game and did a bike just like pele.

If you want an awesome soccer movie, go rent the Mean Machine. Just out on video, it's awesome

Can you tell us about this one? I thought I had seen every soccer movie ever made, but I am unfamiliar with "Mean Machine?" Who's in it, what's the setting, etc.? Thanks.

It's a remake of the Burt Reynolds movie, The Longest Yard, but it's set in Britain. Vinnie Jones is in it, I think, and a bunch of actors you've probably never heard of unless you're a big fan of English films.
