Green Street Hooligans DVD
I was renting movies earlier today and i saw a poster for the movie Green Street Hooligans. Its the one with Elijah Wood who plays a wrongfully expelled Harvard undergrad who moves to London, where he is introduced to the violent underworld of soccer hooliganism. I've been waiting for this movie since last year. It had a REALLY limited U.S. release which really pissed me off 😈
Anyone manage to catch this in theatre's?
I thought green street was great. Certainly my favorite soccer film. Haven't seen Football Factory but it looks good as well.
I will most likely buy the Green Street Hooligans movie when it comes out on DVD in the US just because it was such a great movie. I really don't buy all that many dvds anymore these days either.

I recently purchased the Green Street Hooligans DVD and i liked it a lot. I havent seen any other sports films, let alone soccer films, so GSH was very entertaining to me. Im completely hooked to World Cup right now so this movie came out at the perfect time 😛
Oh, and Go Italy!
Man, I loved this movie. Sadly, I just bought it recently. XD I bought it though, and that's all that matters. Gotta say this is one of my recent favorites, I just can't get enough of this movie. It's probably World Cup fever, ha ha. Ah... Elijah Wood and Charlie Hunnam really made this movie what it is too... their acting was just superb. Nothing beats watching Elijah Wood throw a few punches.
I just saw football factory and while I think it's a good film the movie Green Street Hooligans has just a much better story to it. I think a problem with modern films is they try to hard to be deep and layered and it just comes off as contrived. Green Street Hooligans has a simple story but a great story similar to classic movies. Thats what I really enjoy about it. BTW have you seen the vmix contest for GSH? If you're a fan of the movie it's something worth checking out.
It was ok, apart from the Hooligans gangleaders false cockney accent.
It was also too "americanised" ie aspects of it were chnged to appeal to a US public. Very unrealistic from a British point of view.
Plus the story towards the end was daft.
Hooligans is the best hooligan film, so much black humour, brilliant
