" Paul Scholes, Gary Neville talk Class of &amp;#039;92: &amp;#039;We knew our group were different&amp;#039; The Class of &amp;#039;92, Ben and Gabe Turner&amp;#039;s brilliant documentary about Manchester United&amp;#039;s golden generation, returns to Blu-ray and DVD this week with a special extended collector&amp;#039;s edition. Alongside David Beckham, Gary Neville, Paul Scholes and co is a never-before-seen interview with the man who masterminded their success: Sir Alex Ferguson. To mark this fresh release of Class of &amp;#039;92, Digital Spy spoke to the Turner brothers to find out their five favourite football movies. What do you think of their choices? The World&amp;#039;s Greatest Goals: From Charlton to Maradona (1986)  Ben: &amp;quot;We got it on VHS, we&amp;#039;ve had it since we were kids and it&amp;#039;s one of those ones that we wore out watching. We joke that it&amp;#039;s the greatest film ever made, I would definitely say we learned a s**t-load from watching it. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s structured around the stories of the World Cup, so it will tell you the story of Holland for instance, so you&amp;#039;ll cut between the &amp;#039;74 and &amp;#039;78 final. It doesn&amp;#039;t have a linear structure. We just watched it because we loved football to start with, but I think subconsciously it was a massive influence on the way we do things.&amp;quot; Gabe: &amp;quot;It was shot on film, the way you looked at football was different to how you look at it now. It wasn&amp;#039;t in HD in 17 different camera angles, you felt like you were on the pitch with them. When you watch Maradona run in 16mm, you felt like you are there with him.&amp;quot; Escape to Victory (1981)      Ben: &amp;quot;It doesn&amp;#039;t take itself too seriously. If you look at something like Goal it&amp;#039;s mega-serious, but Escape to Victory has a sense of fun about it. Maybe it wasn&amp;#039;t meant to be in the first instance.&amp;quot; Gabe: &amp;quot;You&amp;#039;ve got an incredible cast, not only of footballers but Michael Caine and Sylvester Stallone are in it. We watched it when we were kids and we weren&amp;#039;t really judging it per se, it&amp;#039;s one of those cult films with magical moments in it like Ossie Ardiles playing - there are just elements in it that work. &amp;quot;Also, the reason Goal didn&amp;#039;t work was because they struck up a relationship with Newcastle, which made anything they did null and void. We&amp;#039;re Sunderland fans! They lost me when they made that commitment! &amp;quot;If they remade this today, Southampton would be the Ipswich.&amp;quot;  Ben: &amp;quot;If it was us directing, it would be Sunderland no question!&amp;quot; Gabe: &amp;quot;Who would be Stallone? I don&amp;#039;t think they make them like him anymore...&amp;quot; Ben: &amp;quot;Jason Statham?&amp;quot; Gabe: &amp;quot;No, Statham did Mean Machine, which is another contender for me. I really like Mean Machine. But no, you can&amp;#039;t replace Stallone. I don&amp;#039;t think you can remake this because Michael Caine and Stallone are irreplaceable.&amp;quot; Once in a Lifetime: The Extraordinary Story of the New York Cosmos (2006)      Gabe: &amp;quot;That film captures that side of football that&amp;#039;s not just about winning trophies, it&amp;#039;s that thing you fall in love with that you really can&amp;#039;t explain when people say &amp;#039;why do you love football so much?&amp;#039; and you don&amp;#039;t know how to answer. If you watch Once in a Lifetime, that&amp;#039;s exactly what you love about it. It&amp;#039;s the characters and the journey you go on as a supporter with the club.&amp;quot; Ben: &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s really funny, we always hope there&amp;#039;s going to be some funny moments in the films we make. I just love it for that, it&amp;#039;s a real giggle. To make one of these films work, you need great characters and some kind of cultural significance. &amp;quot;You&amp;#039;re not going to put something on-screen that&amp;#039;s better than watching a football match. For the Class of &amp;#039;92, even if you weren&amp;#039;t a United fan, watching that Champions League final in &amp;#039;99 is maybe one of the greatest moments in sport you&amp;#039;ll ever see. You can&amp;#039;t recreate that in a cinema so you have to look for something else to do.&amp;quot; Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait (2006)      Ben: &amp;quot;We luckily got to interview him for Class of &amp;#039;92 and he is as mercurial and prophetic in person as you suspect he&amp;#039;s going to be. He&amp;#039;s a genius on the football pitch, so to get to watch him that way in the film was amazing. It&amp;#039;s a totally unique film, and you get a sense of his character somehow \u00E2\u20AC\u201C watching him between passes, there&amp;#039;s something utterly compelling about it. You have to be a bit of a football junkie to like it.&amp;quot; Gabe: &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s got the Mogwai score, which is perfect. It&amp;#039;s football porn, let&amp;#039;s be honest!&amp;quot; Ben: &amp;quot;There&amp;#039;s a great cameo in it from David Beckham. Since we&amp;#039;ve seen that film we&amp;#039;ve gotten to know Becks and you realise what a lovely bloke he is. There&amp;#039;s a way he interacts with Zidane in it that&amp;#039;s true to who he is as well.&amp;quot; The Two Escobars (2010)      Gabe: &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m a big fan of ESPN&amp;#039;s 30 for 30 series and we&amp;#039;re big fans of the American sports docs, but the thing I really liked about The Two Escobars is the unbelievable link between these two stories, it felt like an unbelievable prism to tell the Pablo Escobar story. &amp;quot;There were moments where you learned about really crazy s**t - Pablo Escobar flew in the team when he was in jail to play against people in prison! It was a really interesting way of telling a big story.&amp;quot; The Class of &amp;#039;92: Extended Collector&amp;#039;s Edition will be released on Blu-ray and DVD on June 9.
