I'm going to wait while you figure out where to put Rocky IV on that list.
Opinions are one thing, but no Rocky IV in a top 10 sports movies should be a felony.

Didn't even think of that one.

Also I haven't seen it. Any good?

RaoulDuke79 sums that movie up perfectly.

It is awful and fantastically so. Plus, Yasmine Bleeth and Jenny McCarthy at their hottest!

I will always appreciate Rocky's role in ending the Cold War.

Don't forget Rambo's contribution to that as well! Everyone gives Reagan and Gorbachev all the credit, but really it was Stallone who was the true hero.

You know what two of the most important political movies were in the 80s?

Predator and the Running Man.

Both featured two future governors of US States.

Speaking of baseketball (hoping I'm not the only one who sees plays here) anyone ever see "book of Mormon"? By those guys (really it was just one but I can't remember his name...the blonde one)

I saw it on Broadway with my family. It had josh gad (guy from wish I was here and pixels coming out) and a kid named Andrew I think he's in the show girls now

It was beyond hilarious. It came to Houston, if it ever comes back...GO!

And yes, I enjoy plays and I won't be embarrassed about that 8-)

...my parents have season passes for plays or something and when they can't go they give them to my sister or me

Also, cool story about seeing Book of Mormon (other than seeing Conan obrien) we went to a Yankees game that same week and the game before got rained out but ours was fine and it was in the game we went to jeter hit 3000 and had 5 hits in agame just like biggio (bigs is better)...still wear a shirt that has jeter on it with 3000 on the back

One of his foul balls in his first at bat landed right behind us and a drunk guy risked his life to get it

So I watched an advanced showing of the upcoming movie Trainwreck last night. It was pretty good. John Cena, LeBron James and A'mare Stoudemire had pretty big roles in the film and were all very funny. It must have been filmed awhile ago though because they had A'mare and Tyson Chandler in Knicks uniforms. Tony Romo also was in it giving a speech and A'mare heckled him saying "Dallas Sucks!" so it's kinda ironic since A'mare got sent to the Mavs.

Just rewatched Inglorious Basterds last night.
That movie is absolutely BRILLIANT.

While not my favorite QT film(always liked Jackie Brown the most, for whatever reasons), it's still a really enjoyable film overall. The bar scene is frikkin' fantastic.
