Stardust Memories

I remember seeing the opening scene of this film and thinking that's what it's like being an Evertonian.

Woody is on a train filled with misery while the train on the adjacent line is having a party – filled with happy people and beautiful women... Don't get me wrong; I wouldn't swap being a Blue for the world.

But, if Everton FC and one of the finest group of fans in the known universe – Evertonians – were a movie, what would that movie be? (This is a bit of pre-season fun so don't say "Apocalypse Now"!)

For a team that (overall) tends to exceed most peoples expectations, given the inherent issues at our club, the film I would nominate is 'Gattaca' which has the tagline "There is no gene for the human spirit."

Our average season is like any porno...

Sucks at first, then pick up pace halfway through. At the end, though there's a feeling of emptiness and a hell of a mess which won't clean itself...

Colin Taylor

Anyone else heard about the Kuwaiti billionaire who has bought Nottingham Forest? Come on, Bill, pull your finger out — you're not looking hard enough.

Mike Manchester

Moyes used to bring a knife to a gun fight, now with Jelavic he's a "Hobo with a shotgun"

With Billy Liar and them clowns in the Boardroom, it certainly wouldnt be Goodfellas.

I don't know about a film but there is a film quote that sums up supporting Everton from Clockwise when John Cleese says " I can take the despair. It's the hope I can't stand.

For all Bill's mouthing it has to be The Lion King.

Ray Roche
323 Posted 11/07/2012 at 22:38:36

The Muppets. Who else but The Board.?

Local Hero with Tony Hibbert.....or maybe not.

Colin Southern

Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory seems the most appropriate.

Everton manager living on scraps, looking for the golden ticket to get to the next level. With Bill as Mr Wonka singing hopes and dreams and promising riches to those who can pass the test!

Tony Cheek

Maybe not quite "Fast and Furious", but a follow up called "Getting Faster and a Little Bit Pissed Off".

Steve Smith

The Magnificent Two - staring Morecambe & Wise.

I'll leave it to your imaginations to work out which one's the fucking clown.
