You are correct about Nick Hornby's "Fever Pitch" and the UK futbol club Arsenal, but you have to search for the 1997 UK film. The story was changed from a "soccer" club into a baseball film (Boston Red Sox) on the American film "Fever Pitch" (2005) starring Drew Barrymore and Jimmy Fallon. This latter film is the most popular one (unfortunately).

I checked your profile and I see that you enjoy cartoons. Try "The Cleveland Show." It was shown here in USA on the Fox Network. My alltime favorite cartoon was "Beavis and Butt-head" and also "King of the Hill." You can review "The Cleveland Show" on IMDb.

If you liked Green Street Hooligans, you should check out The Football Factory. Green Street is like an Americanized version of that film.
“I always tell the truth…even when I lie” - Scarface
Football factory is a must
then:
ID
Hooligan
The Firm
All classic british football movies - but little footy - mainly the hooligans!
One that it appears you have not seen is the 2009 film "Looking for Eric." Check it out on IMDb.
shareGoal 1 and 2, Green Street Hooligans, Bend it Like Beckham, A Shot At Glory, Mean Machine, Once In A Lifetime, The Miracle Match, and Victory
-------------------------
Too be honest most football films are pants, i didn't think Goal was any good didn't watch the 2nd. mean Machine is funny but not great. Yes if you liked Green Street then defo watch "Football Factory", probably one of the better hooligan film. When Saturday Comes is a good film with Sean Bean
I also Love Family Guy and American Dad but hated the Cleveland Show....South Park is mint.

"His real name's Mosley"
"I'M MOSLEY"
Just wanted to say thanks for mentioning The Shouting Men. I didn't think the film itself was a particular masterpiece, but I am a Gillingham fan so I was glad the film got a mention on this board!
shareDon't forget the original "The Firm" starring a young Gary Oldman and various other well known faces of popular TV.
Haven't seen the remake but can't imagine it's as chilling as Oldman with his "old friend" Stanley....
"It's because of movies like this that illegal downloading exists and you can be bored for free..."
The World Cup: A Captains Tale with Dennis Waterman. Great story and true too.
Watch it on Utube, it's in about 10 parts.

Looking for eric
shareI don't consider Green Street
The Football Factory
The Firm
Or any other film about football hooligans to be 'football films'
Fever Pitch, The Damned United, When Saturday Comes, Escape To Victory, etc, are football films.

(Mexican fiction movie about 2 peasant kids discovered on a field in the hinterland, then traveling to Mexico City to become big time stars (which sort of corrupts them ;) ) seventies mood as well.
