Saw The Damned Utd at the cinema - it is excellent (as is the book by David Peace). Not simply a film about football in the 70s, although it is truly magical in that sense too, but a comment on life and relationships.
Also watched the DVD of Cass and really enjoyed that too. The story of former West Ham firm (ICF) lad Cass Pennant. Again, not just a film about football or football violence, but a defining tale of a lad who rose above it all and eventually found himself after half a lifetime of not really knowing who he was or why he was. Cass is now a publisher of books (as well as being an entertaining author himself) - good on him.
