Directed by Franc Roddam and based on The Who’s 1973 rock opera of the same name, Quadrophenia is a gritty, heartfelt, and at times chaotic coming-of-age story set against the backdrop of 1960s Mod culture.

Green Street (2005), also known as Green Street Hooligans in the U.S., is a gripping dive into the underworld of football hooliganism, but beyond the punches and pride, it’s a story of camaraderie, loyalty, and identity — and yes, that includes the fashion of the terraces. Directed by Lexi Alexander, a former kickboxing champion turned filmmaker, the movie blends brutal realism with cinematic flair to depict how the beautiful game can stir something far less picturesque in its most passionate followers.

The Football Factory (2004), directed by Nick Love and based on the novel by John King, is more than just a football hooligan film — it’s a gritty exploration of British working-class masculinity, tribal loyalty, and the beating heart of casual subculture. Beneath the violence and bravado lies a world built on fashion, football, and the unspoken codes of terrace culture.
