Nobody liked Titanic ? I thought it was pretty cool (even though I hate to admit it.)
For the soccer players out there, I recommend “Bend It Like Beckham”.
Rent “The Producers”. Mel Brooks finest.
i agree beckham was great, and i don’t even play soccer. that coach was pretty cute… 
Pete. You’ve got to get some comedies in there!
What I have been into lately:
Easy Money
Caddy Shack
Fletch 1
Fast Times at Ridgemont High
Stripes
Strange Brew
OLD SCHOOL!!!
Dlive,
There seems to be a constant theme in the movies you choose. Were these inspired by your ex-throws coach?
Why yes #2!!! Since learning the ways from the Great Saint Aragoto, I never watch a movie that does not include a reference to the supreme Long D.S.
We all know who the real originator of the Glute Ham Hammer raise is!!!
Give it Up, Much respect!!!
Haha, good one
“Seven” is still my all time favourite movie. Closely followed by “Silence of the Lambs”, “Memento” and “Dead Man Walking”
Seven’s up there with the best, though i think pulp fiction’s a damn good movie…
For more esoteric tastes:
Trainspotting
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead (a virtually unknown gem)
Brassed Off (another early Ewan McGregor movie)
Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels
Big Night (for the cooks and food lovers out there)
Im my previous list of movies I forgot to mention my favorite series of all time which is star wars. My favorite movie of all time would be the empire strikes back.
I am surprised no one has mentionned “Army of Darkness”, the one-liner king
Lock stock’s a good film, but snatch is even better…
i’ve got to agree with 23+DaveW–cool hand luke! (ok boss i’m shakin it!)
anyone think blade 1 is good,probably the freakiest start in the slaughter house and great finish!
what about snatch with brad bitt trying to take on an irish acient,funny movie with great lines and great turns.
what about" the royal family" for us uk viewers,some great lines there.
the worst films i have ever seen were-
the texas chain saw massicar(fing trash)
gangs of new york(fing waste of money,better of watching the tele-tubs-at least you’ll have a laugh)
blair witch(they called it a movie that freaks you out,my vcr was falling asleep playing it)
Just got back from seeing SWAT and WOW was it great!! IF you like covert Urban Ops, Covert Warfare or love playing FPS video games, this is a MUST see. Very realistic (top scores in my book), fast paced and believable…check it out, worth yer $$$.
