The Damned United
Plot Synopsis:
Taking over England's top football club Leeds United, previously successful manager Brian Clough's abrasive approach and his clear dislike of the players' dirty style of play make it certain there is going to be friction. Glimpses of his earlier career help explain both his hostility to previous manager Don Revie and how much he is missing right-hand man Peter Taylor who has loyally stayed with Brighton & Hove Albion.

My Review:
Very much a movie for people who love soccer..... But any fan of British cinema would love this movie, too, I think. It was excellently made and Michael Sheen is always amazing. Timothy Spall and Jim Broadbent are two of my absolute favourite actors ever... and Colm Meaney always plays an asshole so well.
