Life is beautiful. The Italian movie with Roberto benigni. Surprised the hell out of me. I watched it first in English class in high school. Also little miss sunshine surprised me too.

I was also blown away by Life If Beautiful in 10th grade English class

Lockout - really surprised me, was a good action flick when I thought it was going to be super cheesy because of the previews but ended up not being the case, my only complaint is the hero says too many one liners that gets a little annoying but overall I'd give it a 9/10 for an action flick.

The Man with the Iron Fists - as someone else said earlier very good movie for what it is 10/10 action flick.

Of movies mentioned...

"Session 9" is one of the spookiest movies I've ever seen.

"the Big Hit" was hilariously fun.

Loved "They Live". Best fight scene ever, and Piper was great. Among Carpenter movies, it's up there with "The Thing", though "Halloween" is still the best of his.

"Dark City" was the main film that the Wachowskis ripped off to make "The Matrix". There were others.

Thought "The Ninth gate" was stupid and predictable.

Haven't seen "Audition" but love Japanese horror.

For my own submissions, two other Carpenter movies. "Vampires" and "Prince of Darkness". Also loved "Frailty" (great ending) and am a big fan of "The Whole Nine Yards" (very funny movie).

Would "Demolition Man" qualify as underrated?

I thought Zodiac was great. High IMDB rating but really didn't win any awards. Also thought Summer of Sam was brilliant as well. Now the Black Dahlia... That just fuging sucked.

      I respect his enthusiasm. Time will tell if it's warrented.

      Canes vs Panthers Rd 3 Gm3 8pm

      By carpanfan96 · Posted

      Oh I went off and fully entertained my wife last night as my emails go to her phone as well because of my health. So she got the whole conversation as it happened.    Like I went to games in Detroit for the cup finals, I've been to games in Greensboro, Raleigh, and Chicago as well. My mom and her nurse friend double dated one of the players from when the team was in Greensboro. "He's still with the team in some compacity as well." I know people who work for the team at the arena as well. How the hell would I not be considered a fan. Only reason I haven't gone to a game since 2022 is because of my health and money situation. Last game I went to was at United Center in Chicago and me and my wife spent around 1k for glass seats and some food at the arena and we were next to the penalty box. The pictures of the hurricane players I took are lost because my phone crapped out a few weeks later.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      The Falcons win was a fantastic way to end the season and I think just about every Panthers fan would agree the team the coaching staff and particularly Bryce Young were impressive. We really needed that. Credit where it's due. At the same time. Now we have to establish it wasn't just a flash in the pan. We had one of those earlier in the season against the Raiders. As a tortured Panthers fan I have to acknowledge that. I know you're joking but in all seriousness I don't think the QB sneak is something for us to be concerned about in general but I would be lying to myself if I did not acknowledge that looking back at one particular game last season where we continually trotted out Eddie Pinero on 4th and short on the opponents side of the field we could use some creativity in those situations and it's also a matter of predictability. As time goes on it's something for Canales to work on and figure out. Especially with our kicker situation as it stands.
