Image via WikipediaI forgot to mention that last week's Friday Fish and Chips Film was Fever Pitch. This time my film night friend not only brought fish and chips with him but some very nice raspberries and a couple of bottles of beer. He also had with him a handful of DVDs, two of which were based on Nick Hornby novels.We are both fans of Mr Hornby's writing and in the end chose to watch one he also wrote the screenplay for:: Fever Pitch, which is a hymn of praise to the obsessive love of football. I think the main reason we chose it was that it had been some time since we had seen it, and it was very enjoyable to become re-acquainted with Colin Firth's Arsenal crazy teacher.

I remember being pleasantly surprised at how well the film had traveled after re-locating to America but I think I recall that it was something of a labour of love as John Cusack was a big fan of the book.
