  1. This is great Cogerson! I love being reminded of some of the movies that are older that my kids may not have seen. Last night we had a bunch of neighborhood kids over and I made real popcorn for the kids – served soda and watermelon and we showed a movie on the out door projector:) it was so much fun! They in fact, They watched The Great Outdoors with John Candy. I bet my kids would like Six Pack.

    1. Hey Realhousewife, thanks for stopping by and reading my hub. If the kids liked the Great Outdoors then I think they would like Six Pack as well. The outdoor projector sounds like lots of fun and a great way to spend a weekend night.

  2. Like whoa dude I’m questioning whether surfing is a sport or an activity? Skiing okay, it’s an Olympic sport too, but surfing? Is skateboarding a sport too, Gleaming the Cube on the list? Breakdancing a sport? 🙂

    1. Well Steve….I can tell you that Blue Crush the highest rated surfing movie will not qualify for the Top 100 sports movies. I have one skating movie….but I actually think Gleaming the Cube could have made it as well….and finally I thought long and hard about including Breaking 2: Electric Boogalo 2 …but in the end it just missed the cut.

  3. Bring It On …. that was a FUN movie! “brrrrr it’s cold in here, must be some Torros in the atmosphere!” My cheer every winter when I’m COLD, yes it gets bitter cold in Orlando.

    Very creative page…a hodgepodge of all sorts.

    Soul Surfer … went to a free screening of it. Left halfway through. Faith got scared and my son-in-law was evicted because he was viewing email, he didn’t pay attention to the NO CELL PHONES at a FREE SCREENING. One day i’ll see the second half. It was kind of slooooow to me.

    1. Hey Sunshine625…..I am glad you liked Bring it On….I have heard about those bitter winters that Florida has….lol. As for Soul Surfer….I thought it was a horror movie until I heard a radio interview with Dennis Quaid and realized it was a surfing movie…thanks for stopping by

  4. Junior Bonner-another McQueen film, although this is not a favourite of mine of his overall career.

  5. Alright it seems that you have covered all the bases, so what are the Top 100 movies? Looking through your pages, I do not see any movie getting very close to Rocky the original. As for this page, Bring It On as a sports movie? Not seeing that one.

    1. Hey YankeesRule, you might be correct Rocky looks like a contender for #1 movie…it has it all…box office(over million)…critics and audiences love the movie….and it is one of three sports movies to win Best Picture….we will find out soon. As for Bring It On….I got an e-mail suggestion and I figured I could sneak one cheerleading movie into the page…thanks for stopping by
