Well, escape to a 4:4 draw, perhaps, but still a top flick

Rating: 10/10 (15 August 2000)

What can you say? Its a football movie, with Sylvester Stallone as the keeper. Wee Sylvester! And Michael Caine as a former Man U player. Caine!! And it's got Ardilles, Pele, and John Wark playing in the same team!!!
Okay, mickeytaking aside, this is one of the funniest films ever made. Such is the quality of its badness that it becomes good. More than good, in fact. This is the defining moment, the absolute epoch of world war 2 football movies.
Admittedly a genre of one entry, but never mind, such trifling details are not ours to worry about.
I can't recommend this film enough. It is the funniest way to spend two hours. And you find yourself getting drawn into the match. Doing a commentary. Thinking how to break down the resilient German defence.
It's wonderful. Just watch it.
