I e only seen a handful so I’m hoping to come across one I haven’t heard of before.

The best actual movie centered on soccer I can remember seeing was probably the damned united. Though I’ve only seen it once in the theaters years ago, I should rewatch it.

The others I can remember seeing over the years are the football factory, goal, green street, victory and mean machine.

Are there any others similar to the damned United?

Eurotrip.
...If you count the handful of scenes with Vinnie Jones posing as a Manchester United fan. Lol

Couple of good 30for30's if we're counting those as well. The one on the Hillsborough disaster made me really hesitant to rush the field after the Georgia game this year.

Yeah feel free to throw in documentaries as well, should have added that in the op.

I’ve seen the hills borough one & the Escobar’s. I’ve probably seen more soccer docs than actual movies tbh.

I believe there's one out there on the Chapecoense disaster by E:60 as well if you feel like putting yourself in a depressing mood.

Yeah I’ve seen that one too, though I think it was actually done by fox sports. Unless ESPN did one as well that I missed. It was really well done.

How could I forget that I have seen that one. It’s funny because back when I watched it I didn’t follow soccer, and the main attraction for me was mogwai’s music...and because I thought it was a really interesting conceptual idea for a film. I remember loving it, even without being a fan of the sport at the time.

That was the main attraction for me too, as I'm not one for documentaries. Love Mogwai. Saw them recently. They was loud as hell.
