But it ain't about how hard ya hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!” ~ Rocky Balboa



Speed (1994), Patton (1970), Top Gun (1986), Memento (2000), Conan The Barbarian (1982), and Major League (1989), are my favorites you chose for your list @John-Connor so far. With my most recently watched being Conan The Barbarian. The rugged environments look badass, Sandahl Bergman was hot, and an amusing role for Arnold Schwarzenegger.

I've seen Wag The Dog (1997), The Leopard (1963), Ben-Hur (1959), Dead Poets Society (1989), The Untouchables (1987), and Blow Out (1981) also. With the most recently watched being Wag The Dog, which is as relevant a movie to watch as ever with our psychotic media. It's been a couple years since I saw it.
