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

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.

My performance, LOL! That was funny. I thought it was very well done but opinions are like aholes, everybody has em. If you think Reese is pretty on the screen, its a shame if you never get a chance to see her from a few feet. Wow.

Having had the opportunity to hang out with some of the women Matt Leinart has dated, lets just say I am not easily impressed. Reese is piping hot.

I met him as he was on the set for a whole week. Very arrogant and pompous. Probably would feel right at home on this board, but I dont need to mention any names now do I?
His bravado is not all that around a 240 pound, well toned man, trust me.

I honestly thought it was pretty bad. I liked the acting but I just thought it was pretty paper thin and I hate how they made Cash's wife into such a one-dimensional shrew.

I know you're very big in the business but I don't think Reese Witherspoon is winning ANY beauty contests against Abbie Cornish.

She has apparently already gone 0 for 1.
