First Timmy found this one:
There was this one episode of Dawson's Creek ( I know, your thoughts of me are quickly dwindling) where Dawson, the wannabe filmmaker, was speaking to this woman. She asked him, "Favorite movie of the last couple years off the top of your head. Don't even think about it." He responded, Run Lola Run (great movie - yeah Franka). The woman replied "Liar! That's the movie you whip out to show people how cool you are! I'm not interested in cool. I'm interested in the movie that made you cry and you have no idea why. I'm interested in the movie that you're embarrassed to tell your friends you went to go see on opening night" At the end of the episode, Dawson confesses, "By the way, mine is Road House... with Patrick Swayze? I've seen it, like 37 times. Every time it's on TV, I have to watch it all the way through. I own the tape. I love it. I have no idea why." I feel your pain, Dawson. Mine is Striking Distance. It's that movie that whenever I see it on television, I just have to stop and watch it. I have no clue why. I just love this movie. And Wal-Mart had it on DVD for $5.50! Score!
And then if Striking Distance wasn't enough excitement, Timmy found this one too:
Ah man. My mother is the queen of cheesy movies. That's why when topics like Chuck Norris, Van Damne, even Shirley Temple and Howard the Duck come up, I get all excited. These are the movies of my childhood. These are the movies I watch at least once a year. These movies are the reason I make Timmy keep a VCR in our apartment. Mami has a closet full of VHS movies. Literally, it's a closet. And Best of the Best is one of my favorites. And it is one of those movies I borrow at least once a year. At least up to this year. Wal-Mart. $5.50. Double Score!
It was a very exciting trip to Wal-Mart. And as is usually the case, we didn't leave without spending much more than we expected. But it's cool: Striking Distance and Best of the Best. Awesome.

If you ever need a good bargain bin hunt, look for Only the Strong.
It's a cheesy 80s movie about an American military officer that returns from a station in Brazil to teach inner-city kids about Capoeira! It's SO awesome.
