Ooooooh Billie Jean. Great pull.

Watched it a million Saturday afternoons.
Better Off Dead was another classic.

 

[Candide]

Ghostbusters, Real Genius, Temple of Doom and The Goonies were on regular rotation at the babysitters'.

That's a solid, solid foundation.

The eye makeup on the dudes in that movie hasn't ever been topped.

The Sandlot

My kids watched this over the weekend. Now when I ask them to do something, I hear, "You're killin me, Smalls!"

Makes a dad proud.

Which one?

 

[Pope]

Growing up, I thought this was the greatest movie scene ever made.

"You know what I think I'm gonna do, just for the hell of it? I'm gonna take this foot and I'm gonna wop you on this side of your face, and you what's interesting? There's not a damn thing you can do about it."

When I was a kid I wanted to dress like Robert Redford in Sting and wanted to play cards like Paul Newman. One of my favorite scenes (the train whistle after he won, was outstanding timing)

I wasn’t alive when it came out but I have seen the Mighty Ducks trilogy an absurd amount of times. Went on a family road trip to Arizona growing up and forgot to bring any extra DVD’s along so literally just watched those movies over and over. No one’s beating me in Mighty Ducks trivia

 

[AgronAlum]

Brink

 

[AgronAlum]

Also, The Truman Show.

It’s weird how much I think about being in a simulation like that since I watched it for the first time.

 

[Gonzo]

Ghostbusters, Real Genius, Temple of Doom and The Goonies were on regular rotation at the babysitters'.

That's a solid, solid foundation.

I have a weird hobby of collecting t-shirts that were worn in some of my favorite movies. I have the 'Surf Nicaragua' and 'International Order for Gorillas' t-shirts sported by Val Kilmer in Real Genius. Great movie.
