The Damned Unitedโฆโฆ.just for mentioning Stan Bowles.
Don't think anyone's mentioned Bend It Like Beckham, but if I recall correctly the entire QPR Ladies team of the time appear as extras, both as Keira Knightley's team mates and as the opposition in the cup final, in which they are wearing the hoops.
(It ought to be a matter of some embarrassment to the club that the QPR Ladies were - as I understand it, and I'd be more than happy to be corrected - effectively binned off, despite a pretty impressive history that QPR should be proud of - and evolved into Hounslow Women, when the current side was reinvented.)

Not films, but documentaries. I watched โ89โ again last night. Arsenal had the league won in Feb/March, but they blew a big points lead and needed to beat Liverpool at Anfield in the last match.
The two Escobarโs is absolutely brilliant. Itโs about Pablo Escobar and Andres Escobar. If you havenโt seen it, Iโd highly recommend it.

Raging Bull-brilliant performance by Robert de Niro Chariots of Fire-told the story well-and that Vangelis music! Bull Durham-good Kevin Kline performance Forgotten the title, but the one about Jackie Robinson Gregoryโs Girl-just great fun Bend it like Beckham was very well observed and touching I thought Escape to Victory had its moments, while being rather far fetched

I'd percolate my left bollock in a stove top Mocca pot to see this film again. Hard to find but well worth the effort.
It's set in a fictitious Olympic Games in Rome, late 60's early 70's. It follows 4 marathon runners and their road to the maneater of all olympic disicplines , The Marathon.
Micheal Crawford stars as 'Harry' a wing footed ernie on the milk round trained by Stanly Baker who makes Klaus Barbie seem like Barry the ballroon dancer from Hi de Hi. A brutal trainer who drives Harry into the concrete with his training regimes.
Harry is blessed with a turn of paace like Alan Wells with a kinder egg of sulphate dissolving up his arse and Baker convinces Harry to run from the front for the whole 26 miles to break the field.
This in 90 degree heat.
the other 3 runners in the story arc are a Bare footed aboriginal, Ryan O'neal as the handsome Shagger from the USA, and beleive it or not, French crooner Charles Aznavour as an iron cutrtain T 800 steroid beserker running to defeat imperialism and the filthy opulence and decadence of the coca cola swilling , 501 jean wearing pigs in the morally bankrupt west.
It's F uckin' Great. I would dearly love to get a copy of it.
i wont spoil it , but try to watch oit if you can. Fantastique.
obvs thumbs up for ;
'Kes', 'Rollerball', 'The Firm', 'I.D' 'Away days' incredible soundtrack.
and the Daddy.of them all . '
Raging Bull' ' i''m da boss, I'm da boss, I'm da boss, I'm da boss, I'm da boss... I'm da boss, I'm da boss, I'm da boss, I'm da boss, I'm da boss, I'm da boss...'

A few which haven't been mentioned (I think) The Iron Claw - not really a film about wrestling but a super watch Dodgeball - stupid fun Kingpin - see Dodgeball Remember the Titans - Denzel is outstanding The Champ - pretty average with an incredibly sad last scene
