Gershwin Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Went to see Linha De Passe last night and it got me thinking. Quite a lot of films try and shoot football scenes but they almost always end up looking terrible. You can usually tell the actor has never seen a football in his life, let alone tried to kick one. So what films do football well? On a side note LDP has some really decent fitba scenes and I'd recommend going to see it. One of those films you could watch for hours and not get bored.

jambo-rocker Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 i always found 'there's only one jimmy grimble' reasonably decent at shooting the football scenes even though at times it can be a bit cheesy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BASIL_HEARTS Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 i liked Goal. the first one. The soundtrack was pretty decent with some oasis songs, but you knew what was going to happen at the start of the film i guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leginten Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Das Wunder von Bern (The Miracle of Bern?) The football shots almost exactly replicate the action from the 1954 World Cup final. The only problem is that the stadium looks very small and too computer-generated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benny Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 I would say Kes has the most realistic football scene for any movie.Brian Glover superstar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Winstone Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 I would say Kes has the most realistic football scene for any movie.Brian Glover superstar. I did a remake of that at school in the Brian Glover role! We used video along with the on stage production so we managed to film an outside football scene. Was brilliant fun and better than the origional! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gannet Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Cant remember title but...... was allegedly the story of the first team to win the world cup...think it is based on true story...coalminers/pub team, mistaken for the mighty Woolwich Arsenal are invited to take part in a European tournament, starring Dennis Waterman......the reaction of the pub team at watching the mighty Juventus score a free kick by curling the ball around the wall of players was hilarious.
