yup, I dont know anyone who doesnt get inspired by that. Oracle and I remind each other whenever those movies come on. Only thing worthwhile movies, Stallone has made. It like captures everything about the underdog and the struggles of life, it also encapsulates the late 70s and early 80s to a tee

I was born in 1980 and I swear I am an 80's girl, through and through... I miss the music from the 70's and 80's!

LOTR...RainMan(KMart sucks)...The Princess Bride(he's only mostly dead)...Silver Streak(wilder and pryor kill me)....Scrooged(Murrays' quirky Christmas)...To Kill a Mockingbird(nuf said)....Silverado(much fine talent).....Miracle(hockey,eh?)....Larger than Life(Murray again)...Man on Fire(Denzel)....Jason Bournes Trilogy(Altho the Books are great too)....Frequency(Caveziel and Quaid)...GrossPointe Blank(Quirky slice of hitman and love).

Surprised "Walk the Line" with Joaquin Phoenix and the lovely Reese Witherspoon didnt make your lists. Incidentally I had a small 10 second cameo in this movie as a stage hand appx halfway through the movie in the early part of Johnny Cash' tour. Best thing about the experience was getting to meet Reese. Shes even lovelier in person than she is on the big screen.

Your performance notwithstanding, it's a terrible movie.
