7. Victory (1981)
"I love this movie so much because it has real footballers playing real football. Plus, the movie has a totally implausible plot where they give up escaping to play the second half! What’s not to love?!" — Debs
"It’s got to be Victory. It’s got everything, a classic war movie, Stallone, soccer orchestrated by top Brazilian players of the day, and it's always playing on the hotel TV on holiday!" — Ashley
"I watched Victory when I was a kid and loved it. Pele’s slow-motion bicycle kick is totally triumphant!" — Eric
