Murderball was phenomenal.

Heids!

I’ve told you about this one, but I’m going to tell you again.

Watch “The Rocket.”

Someone also said “Murderball.” Watch that too.

Jon – killer. Now in the queue.
Kathy – now we’re talkin’ baby!
Steph – Murderball! Yes, that should have been on my list, too. What a great film!

I’m going to sign off with a no-comment on the dancing thing. :) But I feel you.

Actually, one of the PV bike racers is a competitive ballroom dancer. :)

My favorite sports flicks:
Bend It Like Beckham
Triplets of Belleville
Red Light Go (bike messengers count, eh?)
Murderball

AND–the one that you will want to soccer-punch me in the titties for–

SAVE THE LAST DANCE

Because I have a thing for cheesy movies about kids who want to be dancers. Because I believe that dancing is a sport. Because the girl, in the end, gets into Julliard. And that’s no fucking joke. Because the movie has cheesy dialogue and hip hop dance moves that are pretty sick, truth be told. I could never move like that. I can barely drop it like it’s hot without errupting into Mt. Vesuvius style laughter.

So since I think that dance is a sport, let me also add two movies, one of which you can rib me for until I am old and even shorter than I already am:

CENTER STAGE
MAD HOT BALLROOM

Sherry – I think you read the post wrong. Caddyshack isn’t about a sport – it’s about golf. ;)

I’m so glad I’m not the only one who cries at that movie :).

I forgot one other one: “Radio” We can count that as one of Sal’s favorites also, along with Pure Sweet Hell (cyclocross).
