I like the attention to the accents in Green Street.

I actually don't mind the Cass film. Decent story.

I agree that they're all bollocks, but I do hugely enjoy watching them!

Football Factory for me. Green Street is pretty good, and Frodo is better in it than I ever thought possible, but the guy who plays his mate is so bad at the accent. Terrible actually. It's a shame, cuz other than that he's a decent actor!

Bang on there mate, ID without a shadow of a doubt with the original Firm (Gary Oldman, Phillip Davis) a close second. Top films that really captured the spirit of the 'hooligan firms'. Can watch them over and over.

The first Green Street was pretty good but the second one was probably the worst film I've watched in a very long time. Football Factory's probably my favourite football film though there aren't many good films to choose from.

I don't know why, seriously I don't, but for some odd reason I actually like Danny Dyer. Even though I can completely understand why so many people hate him.

My favourite football based film is Awaydays. I read the book first, then bought the DVD. No glamour of Chelsea or reputations of Millwall and West Ham but good old Tranmere Rovers and they are 'orrible cunts :shock:

Also great music from The Rascals and lots of Stan Smiths :ayatollah:

You are right about Green Street 2 it,s the worst film ever for me. Football Factory is my favorite as well, i also wonder if they will ever make a film about the Soul Crew ? There was talk about it once :ayatollah:

The Firm old and new versions both good for different reasons

ID -OTT it is but enjoyable to watch

Looking for eric -Good storyline to it

Footie factory-Can't stand Dyer but will admit to enjoying this film (aswell as the business)

Cass- Good storyline don't understand why it got slated book much better


As for green st a load shite (made for yanks) awaydays was very dissapointing although the music in it is good the book is 10 times better.
