but if we are tlaking flicks, I resaw Mulholland Drive this weekend and I think that is the singularly creepiest flick I have ever seen. Not in small part due to that little cabaret with the lady lipsynching Crying in spanish. haunting shit.

The only thing worse than children is David Lynch. Thanks for finding a way to combine those two in a single thread.

I liked Billy Madison best of the Sandler ouvre, myself. Nevermind the famous "that is the worst answer ever" speech towards the end - the image of Steve Buscemi putting on lipstick after amending his "People to Kill" list was burned into my mind as by fire. (The Cajun grounds keeper pulling his nipple rings in Waterboy was excellent, but doesn't reach the same sublimely surreal "WTF?" heights.)

Big points for the Bob Barker fight scene in Happy Gilmore, though. I watch Sandler films just because most of them have one brilliant moment or two like that in them. Caddyshack has to get my vote as best golf movie, though.

who are Jack and Linda Mc something who spent 27 mil of their own money to get this tourney there?

Jim "Mattress Mack" McIngvale is a self-made gazzillionaire who owns "Gallery Furniture" on the north side. It is a small city unto itself - a white trash mecca if you will. As much as I dislike the obnoxiousness of the guy, he puts a huge sum of money into local good causes, so we really can't complain. All his sales persons wear purple shirts - note the court surface color. -TL

I love Happy Gilmore, so they'll have to shoot both of us. But I find Sudden Death compelling because of the hockey too, so my opinion is maybe for shit. I found Hoosiers one of the most boring things ever (mainly I think, because I was on a date with the hottest guy in my little burg at the time and wanted to be naked rather than watching some stupid ass movie, but I digress).

Other sports movies that I enjoy:

Mystery, Alaska
Slapshot (concur with everyone)
the documentary about the Miracle on Ice (not a movie, really, but that is one great story)
Rocky
When we were Kings
Girlfight
Caddyshack

Its all about the fiber content of the hull. I've been present for the launching of a few chocolate submarines after a previous night's imbibing of large quantity of alcohol and seen the hull tear and fragment, resulting in a total loss. Oh, the humanity...

Oh, I LOVED that movie! That helicopter crashing onto the ice in the last seconds of Stanley Cup overtime? Mascot fight? That was fabulous! I didn't even mind that JCvD didn't get any part of himself naked.

He was nauseating. He kept saying, My good friend Andre. Total hangeron who had the goods so the big boys tolerated him. Reminds me of someone here.

anyway, he said his wife put up 27 mill of her own money so I am wondering if he married her money and thtas how he bc a gazillionaire. that store logo was right on the backdrop. the court didnt look obnoxious to me on tv.

Hands down the best sports movie ever is Hot Dog the Movie. No contest.

No the $$$ is from the store - if it's from his wife, there's probably a tax reason behind it (just a guess), but it's still from the store. He is completely self-made. -TL

Edited to add - this good friend? Edited again to comment on my poor reading skills. Sheesh.

Both great movies. Breaking Away was better, but you can watch Hoosiers more times. Whatever happened to that short kid in the movie (the one that punched the time clock)? He was in everything at one point in the 80s. Then he just disappeared.

Tin Cup is a great movie. And I fucking detest Kevin Costner like a sickness, so it must be good. But he plays the loser well in this flick. The scene where he's going for it is as difficult to watch (special thanks to atticus) as the Swingers phonemail scene or any number of scenes from The Office. They let you off the hook in the end, though.

Legend of Bagger Vance was NOT a good movie. Surprisingly enough, though, I can't stop watching it when it's on. Maybe because the golf shots are so beautiful.

In San Francisco, you never know what you're going to find when you knock on a car window -- but nothing prepared the cops for what they found the night of Nov. 3 down by Aquatic Park.

The window came down and there was a guy with a chicken sitting on his lap and a second chicken in a bag on the passenger seat.

"What's with the chickens?" the cop asked.

"I'm going to take them home and eat them,'' the driver replied.

"Lift up the chicken,'' the cop said.

The driver did -- and the next thing you know, the driver was in cuffs and the chickens were on their way to the humane society -- where (we kid you not) the hens were given a sexual battery exam by a vet the cops called in.

All we can say is, it's going to make for some very interesting testimony on the witness stand.

"But the killer will be the other evidence,'' a law enforcement source said. "A 15-ounce jar of Vaseline . . . with three feathers in it.''

I obviously have no idea who this guy is, but the mental image of Nathan Arizona just popped into my head.
