He previously tweeted a list of the only eight movies he’s ever watched in his lifetime. And the ex-England star was finally put on the spot to review each one — with just one film getting an 8/10. Speaking to the Premier League, Owen ran through the list of eight before giving his opinion on the industry.

Owen exclaimed: “I don’t even watch films! This is brilliant.”. He then went through the list of movies he’s seen, starting with ‘Rocky’. After clarifying it was the first instalment from Sylvester Stallone’s famous boxing franchise, Owen gave it a measly 3/10.

But despite Heat’s legendary status, Owen only gave the cat-and-mouse thriller a 5/10. Romance flick ‘Ghost’, starring Patrick Swayze, also received a 5/10. While dinosaur adventure ‘Jurassic Park’ got 7/10, with Owen admitting: “That was better.”.
