Fever Pitch is also a good one about one fan's support for the London based team, Arsenal. It is very funny and also shows how a fans become so passionate about their teams. It is based on a book by Nick Hornby that is even better than the movie. They made on here in the US about a Red Sox fan, but baseball is not the same as soccer!

The Big Green is a seriously great movie. Hilarious with great meanings for people of all ages.
