that is quite a list glory days. You had me until you went with the new True Grit.
edit- I do like The Natural but they lose me at the home run popping lights scene at the end. I just hate it. It reeks of Hollywood schmaltz and they lay it on too thick.

I have watched that flick at least a couple hundred times over the years.. Nice Choice. I have also had a number of avatar's based off Doc.. like this one I currently use elsewhere. Welcome aboard.

I know it was made with 60's cowboy hokeyness but I don't care. His scene with the reins in his mouth and firing his guns is one of the greatest movie scenes ever. No disrespect intended but the new version seems to me like someone who buys a little plastic statue of Mt Rushmore in the gift shop below the real thing.

Look, Jeff has the patch over the wrong eye and he has two revolvers. So wrong it hurts to even look at it. [duh]

I also love the line at the end when John tells Kim Darby to come see him some time.

Mattie Ross: Trust you to buy another tall horse.
Rooster Cogburn: Yeah. He's not as game as Beau, but Stonehill says he can jump a four rail fence.
Mattie Ross: You are too old and fat to be jumping horses.
Rooster Cogburn: Well, come see a fat old man some time!

Being older and over weight it appeals to me.

Dawn Of The Dead - The original George A Romero masterpiece

Old British Ealing Comedies you might want to try and see:

"Passport to Pimlico"
"Kind hearts and Coronets" - If you haven't seen this you've missed something very special. Alec Guiness plays 8 different characters.
"The Lavender Hill Mob"
"The Lady Killers"

It's already been listed but -

"It's a wonderful Life" Got to be the black and white version not the coloured release (sacrilege). If you don't like this film you are dead inside.

Formed Merseyside Nighthawks. British Champions 1992. Packer fan for 32 years

I feel very wrong now!!!!!!!!!

some great movies there. I use to prefer Roger Moore. I think I have drifted back to Sean over the past few years.

wpr (2h) : Just about time to watch Sonny Weaver stick it to the seahags. I never get tired of it.

Martha Careful (2h) : *game plan

Martha Careful (2h) : IMHO, not even close. He is not a guy you game play around.

Mucky Tundra (5h) : is Aiyuk worth a 1st rounder?

Zero2Cool (5h) : 49ers are seeking a 1st round pick in exchange for WR Brandon Aiyuk

Mucky Tundra (22-Apr) : Based on Gutes comments, now I don't feel as silly having 13 picks in my mock the other day

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Zach Wilson to Broncos.

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Gutekunst says he'd love to have 13 or 14 picks. He's trading back huh lol

beast (22-Apr) : Someday we'll have a draft betting scandal

beast (21-Apr) : Sometimes looking extremely amazing, sometimes looking extremely lost

beast (21-Apr) : I haven't looked into the QBs, but some have suggested Maye has some of the most extremely inconsistent tape they've seen

beast (21-Apr) : Well it also sounds like Patriots are listening to trade offers, not that seriously considering any, but listening means they aren't locked

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Maye needs to be AFC

Mucky Tundra (21-Apr) : Not liking the idea of the Vikings getting Maye

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Vikings HC joked that he may or may not have sent flowers to Bob Kraft. That's where rumor came from.

beast (21-Apr) : Can't tell if this is real or BS, but some rumors about a possible Patriots/Vikings trade for #3 overall

dfosterf (21-Apr) : One playbook to my knowledge. I was shooting for facetious.

beast (20-Apr) : I'm not sure they have different playbooks for different OL positions, and Dillard run blocking is supposedly worse than his pass blocking..

dfosterf (19-Apr) : The only problem with that is he isn't a guard either.

dfosterf (19-Apr) : Put him at right guard. That is where he will be coached. That is where he will compete. He is not even allowed to look at the LT playbook.

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Kidding aside, I hope the best for him.

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Went to a Titans board. One comment there. Not very long. I quote: "LOL" They don't sound overly upset about our aquisition.

beast (18-Apr) : OT Dillard has been absolutely horrible... like OG Newman levels

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Suit him up and have him stand in front of the big board as a draft day cautionary tale.

Zero2Cool (18-Apr) : Packers sign T Andre Dillard.

Mucky Tundra (18-Apr) : Adds most of the information this time of year comes from agents.

Mucky Tundra (18-Apr) : @RealAlexBarth Bill Belichick says accurate draft information doesn't leak from teams until about 12 hours before the draft. Adds most of th

Mucky Tundra (18-Apr) : I am very happy that for moment, Jordan Love seems like a normal human being

Zero2Cool (17-Apr) : Belichick * whatever

Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : Saints have agreed to terms on a contract with former Packers wide receiver Equanimeous St. Brown.
