Netflix Challenge: The Damned United


Another night, another Netflix instant queue title obliterated. This time, it was the 2009 British film, The Damned United.

If you ask me, never has a better movie been made about late '60s, early '70s English professional soccer. It definitely made me want to go out and learn more about the whole Premier League set up.

Not quite a drama and not quite a comedy, it is a good sports movie without the usual cliches found in American sports movies. Plus, Peter Pettigrew is in it, as well as the guy who plays Liz Lemon's bad British date.

Trailer:



68 to go.
