Fever Pitch (1997)

If you have ever planned a wedding, a vacation or a job interview around your team's schedule, this is your film. Colin Firth plays a schoolteacher whose obsession with Arsenal runs his life, and Nick Hornby adapted his own memoir to build the romance around the 1988-89 title race. Everything leads to the last game of that season at Anfield, settled by a goal in the dying seconds that ended an 18-year wait for the title. Choose this one over the 2005 American remake, which swaps Arsenal for the Boston Red Sox and loses the point entirely.
