Not that anybody asked but this week we laced up the boots and ignored the offside rule because we're figuring out our Top 3 Football Films For People Who Don't Watch Football. It's a solo outing this week, and with the World Cup kicking off today, it felt like the right moment to ask: which football films actually work if you couldn't care less about the beautiful game? Whether it's the underdog story, the slow-motion goal, or the half-time team talk that somehow makes you cry anyway, we're finding the films that transcend the sport entirely. What will make our final Top 3 list this week? Expect a surprising amount of hobbits, an inability to spell Uruguay and Not Tim Roth.
