THE NORMAN WISDOM MEMORIAL FILM THREAD

It's all a load of Cannonballs in here! This is the virtual Arsenal pub where you can chat about anything except football. Be warned though, like any pub, the content may not always be suitable for everyone.

I've watched so many of those 30 for 30 docs and they are just brilliant viewing. 8)

The one about the Steve Bartman incident (I think it was originally part of 30 for 30 but might have been just ESPN Films?) was particularly interesting. How that one moment changed a guy's life! :shock: :?

I have a horrible image of you dangling your hand beneath Coutois crossbar as Giroud lobs the Chav keeper from 40 yards :shock:

Stay away from the Emirates! :box:

To be fair, Giroud wouldn't come anywhere near the goal with a 40 yard lob unless there were a pair of tits hanging in the goal.

Forget all hat Hollywood shyte...and watch this...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0 ... irst-light

First Light
Drama-documentary telling the story of Geoffrey Wellum who, at the age of just 18, was one of the youngest Spitfire pilots to go into combat in the Battle of Britain.

Not gore or glorified blood and guts, but the simple telling of what it was like for a teenager to put his life on the line so that we might live.

Truly worth watxhing - No bells and frills just honesty. I missed this the first time round - sadly it runs out (on BBCiPlayer) in 12 days///High;y Recommended.

If LA Confidential had never had been written, filmed or even conceived then that unknowable, missing piece of the universe would still be better than this steaming cockfucker.

Just watched Fargo from 1996 for the first time. Brilliant.

Now I'm watching the TV series which is also good.
