This Sporting Life gets 100% on Rotten T. Not surprising. Superb depiction of a Northern rugby league player who is basically a complete brute on and on the field. Outstanding performance by Richard Harris.
Black and white. Don't let that turn you off though [MENTION=1007]BigGuns[/MENTION]. Enjoyed it immensely
That won't scare me Fiery, I'm old enough to remember days without colour. Got me all nostalgic, gonna have to track down this little gem. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086433/
Indeed. It's English new wave (i.e. it's not really about the sport). It's a very high quality kitchen sink type drama (c.f. Saturday Night and Sunday Morning, A Kind of Loving etc.) Basically, there's no guarantee that you'll like it but it is a very good film which stars Richard Harris - one of the greatest actors of the 20th century.
I have a few picks to choose from the next 2 rounds (true story and horror) if anyone wants to trade for an early pick, shoot me a message
