Gregory's Girl (1981)

Description

High school oddball Gregory (Gordon John Sinclair, Local Hero) discovers that the only thing better than scoring on the soccer field… is scoring off it… in this "ever delightful adolescent romantic comedy" (The Village Voice) that won a British Academy Award for Best Screenplay. "Likable and light-hearted" (The Hollywood Reporter), this delightful Scottish film triumphs with "sweetness, good humor, a gentle, compassionate spirit and winning performances" (Los Angeles Times)! Gregory is upset. He's been bumped from his position on the soccer team… by a girl! However, his anger turns to frustration when he realizes that he's not only jealous of his replacement… he's also in love with her! And though she agrees to go out on a date with him, Gregory finds that, as both a player and a love interest, she kicks well above his head! "Fresh, true, funny [and] full of charm" (The New Republic), Gregory's Girl is the match of the day!
