Feb 11 – THE DAMNED UNITED

Martin Sheen, Colm Meaney, and Henry Goodman star in the darkly funny story of loudmouth, underdog football genius Brian Clough’s tumultuous 44 days as manager of Leeds United.

This is not a movie about the intricacies of football (read: soccer), but about the social context in which the game is played and the personalities who shape it. The result is a lively slice of social history in which Sheen outdoes himself as the manic, cocky coach with a strange, cruel passion for the most popular sport in the world.
