Of the New York Times list of football movies, I have only seen The Cup, which was great.

Certainly missing from this list is Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait, a documentary that focusses only on Zinedine Zidane during a league match in 2005. You only see Zidane, never any other players. Closeups of his face, how focussed he is; his feet, you see how he moves, how elegantly he handles the ball. Truly beautiful.
