The Club is without a doubt one of my all time favourite films. I hold this masterpiece in such high esteem that I have two copies of the video, one for lending people and one for my own enjoyment.
Non sports fans are often put off by films about sport (particularly a minority sport such as Aussie Rules sorry convicts!) but to describe the club as a sports movie would be doing Davis Williamson's superb screenplay (based on his own play) a huge disservice. It has very few od the cleche sporting action sequences that hamper many films in the genre, and relies rather on the sharp dialogue and confrontations between the characters.
I honestly couldn't recommend The Club highly enough. The combination of great acting and, without doubt, the best collection of one liners in any movie, make The Club an absolute must for all.
Watch it and sing with me ..'Up there Gazalie '
