One of the best British Film's of all time. And one of my favourite films of all time. The Football sceane is absolute genious.
Globular Martian
Absolutely wonderful film, and I agree, very moving. Way ahead of it's time.
Mr Spurs

alderaanic, agreed the football scene is classic. I remember my old school football lessons in the seventies were similar

The film is very similar to the book. In the book, Billy goes to a derelict cinema with his dad (if memory serves!) but that is the only major difference I can think of.
