Gregory's Girl**
GB 1980. National Film Trustee Company. 91m.

A drifting teenager develops a crush on the girl who is replacing him as star striker in the school football team.
Droll and clever study of adolescence, quirkily done with a refreshingly sympathetic eye. The themes were universal enough to transcend its setting of dreary Scottish modernity, to make it the "sleeper" hit of the year.
