The Damned United is a great film. Michael Sheen is superb as Clough.
Summer of 92 is a decent Danish film about Denmark winning Euro 92

It's a great film, a very fun escape from German POW camp story with a stellar cast* but football heavy. Not the most realistic depiction but it's hard not to get emotional when Pelé scores that goal under the expert direction and editing of John Huston.Love Escape to Victory.
Not realistic at all (Michael Caine must have been the most overweight POW in history) but still good and has ‘that’ goal. I was even rooting for Mike Summerbee

Bend it like Beckham
Mean Machine (Remake of the Longest Yard featuring Vinnie Jones)
These are the only ones I can think of besides the Ted Lasso series. UK movies & series don't get as much financial support like the Hollywood movies do. I'm sure Will Ferrell starred in a comedy movie based on football but I've never seen it
Bend it like Beckham.
Maradona's doc 2019 doc is good. It's made by the same director who made the Senna doc.
Despite being a huuuuuge Beckham superfan at the time, I never saw Bend it like Beckham. What did you guys think of it?Just looked on my Plex server. I have a football collection on there.
There was also a decent series on Netflix called The English Game in 2020

One of my favourite shows when I was a kidIt wasn't a film, but does anyone remember, Jossys Giants?
I remember Bryan Robson appearing in one the episodes. Great childhood memories.

Jonah Hill as the bungling Premier League investigator who keeps misplacing the evidence while City’s lawyers run circles around him….The Scorcese-directed film about City's cheating will be a masterpiece
