Top 10 upsets of the college football season

Thanks to a comment by James, I figured I'd do another list this week. The top 10 upsets in a very unpredictable season of college football. There were many to pick from, and I attempted to not pick too many SEC games.

10: South Florida over Auburn: My brother Thomas was able to go to this game. Auburn was still undefeated and not many people knew about South Florida. This game set the tone for Auburn, who would be upset again by MSU, and South Florida, who would go to #2 in the BCS before feeling the pressure.

9: Arizona over Oregon: I know they were able to win the game because of Dixon's ACL, but Oregon was a front-runner for the BCS with a heisman candidate. Another #2 getting knocked off, and it was in prime time. Doesn't hurt that I am an Arizona fan (having lived in Tucson).

8: Georgia over Florida: As a Gator fan I hate to put this in here, but UGA beating Florida for the first time in a million years and putting Tennessee in the SEC championship game and Georgia in a BCS was a huge game. Georgia (a team that got beat twice early in the year) played an outstanding game, and it didn't hurt that Tebow was not 100%.

7: Colorado over Oklahoma: This was another BCS team that fell on its face against an unranked team. Colorado is an improved team, but if they played this game 10 more times, Oklahoma wins them all.

6: ULM over Alabama: Although Alabama is not a great team, they were looking at a potential 8-4 season and a good bowl before losing at HOME to a team that is a mid-level team in a terrible conference.

5: Kentucky over LSU: Knocking LSU from the unbeatens. Great game as well. Kentucky was a solid team, but still should not have been able to beat LSU.

4: FSU over Boston College: Matt Ryan had just beat Virginia Tech and become a heisman candidate. Now FSU rolls in to Boston College and takes this team out of the BCS picture. They also effectively end Ryan's chances.

3: South Florida over West Virginia: Another great upset by the Bull of South Florida. This made them the team to beat and almost knocked out West Virginia. My prediction is this is the only loss of West Virginia this season.

2: Stanford over USC: This would have been one of the biggest upsets of the decade if not for number one...

1: App. State over Michigan: By far the biggest upset of all-time. A team that had no business on the field with Michigan getting the win. A blocked field goal, a last minute drive to take back the lead. I would say Michigan did not even play that bad at the end. App. State won the game, Michigan did not choke it away.

What did I miss?

Next list

I am going to attempt to do another top 10 list. See if you can follow this one.

Top 10: Worst American Idols to get to top group

This is my list of the worst American Idols that made it to the top group. These are the idols that I cheered to be voted off the show.

10. EJay Day: First Idol to be voted off in season one.
Where is he now: A Cruise ship for Princess

9. Matthew Rogers: The big guy who sang a sappy song and got the boot. Not a great singer. I wanted to like him, but couldn't.
Where is he now: A corespondant for several sports shows

8. Bucky Covington: One that I thought was awful, but somehow kept getting voted through. I felt he couldn't have made it on the country reality show, but managed to get by simply because he was different.
Where is he now: Put out a new album "A different world"

7. Julie Demato: I thought she was snotty, and couldn't sing. Not a good combination for this show.
Where is she now: Tried to make it, but nothing took in music industry. Now she is a cosmetologist. Was also arrested for a DUI recently.

6. Kimberly Caldwell: Screamed every song she sang on the show. She got as far as she did on personality, because she was not a good singer.
Where is she now: She has made the most out of her fame. Trying to become a foxnews anchorwoman. Working for many shows on the TV Guide Channel.

5. Jon Peter Lewis: Probably a decent singer, I just couldn't stand him.
Where is he now: He has gone his own way in the music industry and had a Canadian hit "It's Christmas". His new album "Stories from Hollywood" is out now.

4. Kevin Covalis: "Chicken Little". Was the first to get farther from the website votefortheworst.com.
Where is he now: Finishing up high school as a senior this year.

3. Carmen Rasumusen: I liked her as a person. Very modest and well spoken, but we called her "goat girl" because of the vibratto in her voice. Randy hated her on the show, "dog".
Where is she now: On show Fear Factor last year. In a few comercials for local stores in Utah.

2. Mikalah Gordon: The Fran Drescher of the show. Her voice drove me nuts.
Where is she now: Cohosts American Idol Extra.

1. Sanjay: He will easily be at the top of this list by the end of the season. How many morons are there that will vote for someone, simply because he is so bad.

Top 10 Fast Food Places

I love to eat out. I love to eat unhealthy food (sorry Jason, Jon, Stacy, etc...). So here is my list of places to go when you are short on money.

These are my personal favorite places to eat that are fast food. I would put a place as "fast food" if...
1) I can eat there with Jamey for under $12
2) I can get out in under 30 minutes (most places in under 15)

Here are my favorites

10) Captain D's: I can only eat there once or twice a month, but when it is time I am craving it bad.

9) KFC: I love the boneless buffalo wings and strips from here. Great place to feed a family for not too much.

8) Quiznos: Favorite sandwich place to go. I love how they toast everything. They also have good clam chowder.

7) Checkers: I hate that Montgomery does not have one of these. Their seasoned fries are great as well as all their other food.

6) Wendys: I am a value orderer here and can get a lot of food for not too much. If you are healthy they even have salads and fruit and stuff...

5) Moe's: Not sure this is fast food. But it is a great place to eat. Jamey can get full of the kids burrito which is as big as the small adult one (and don't worry they know she is an adult ordering the meal so its not cheating).

4) Popeys: I have not eaten here in a long time. But I love their strips and red beans and rice.

3) Arby's: Quickly moving up the list. It has been the most frequented by me in the past few months. The 4 items for $5 is a great deal.

2) Burger King: I love the fries and Burgers here. I don't get to go that often, because Jamey got sick at one of these so she doesn't have as fond of memories as me.

1) Taco Bell: I love this place. I can order different every time and still be satisfied with my order.

Not quite on the list: McDonalds, Sonic, Chick-fil-a, Subway, What-a-burger

Not on the list: Hardees (too expensive), Subway, Long Johns Silver, Backyard Burger (too expensive), Tenda Chick (Montgomery special), Dairy Queen.

Top Rivalries

I am a few days late in this post as Jason has already posted on this subject. Here are my top 10 rivalries in sports.

Top 10 rivalries

1) OSU vs. Michigan: Big game every year. This year of course had even more importance. Two states that hate each other...at least for one week every year.

2) NYY vs Boston: I am not a big baseball fan, but in just the past few years I have been on the edge of my seat for these thrillers in the post season. To actually call another organization "the evil empire" takes this to a new level.

3) Colts vs. Patriots: This game has determined the superbowl winner four of the past 6 seasons. It has shown the growth of Manning and the ratings are great every year.

4) UNC vs. Duke: The best baskeball rivals in the country. There are no other games that compare to these two going at each other at least two times a season. Normally at least one is in the top ten.

5) Auburn vs. Alabama: The state of Alabama's biggest day each year. I am new to this, but have seen first hand how going 0-4 against Auburn will get you fired quickly.

6) Fla vs. FSU: This is the new Miami vs. FSU rivalry. Great game and if you live in Florida you must pick one.

7) Phins vs. Jets: My favorite NFL game (I know I am a homer), but I hate seeing Dolphins stadium half filled with drunk yankees. GO BACK HOME!!! Who can forget the fake spike by Marino, or the 30-7 comeback by the Jets on Monday night.

8) Cowboys vs. Redskins: More tradition than most NFL games have. Great rivalry.

9) OU vs. Texas: This one is for Jon. This is his and the state of Texas' game of the year. Have been some good ones in the not so distant past.

10)Texas vs. Texas A&M: Texas has two spots in my list. This game is huge for all Texans.

I know I am dominated by football here, but hey it is hard to say there is a true rivalry with men in long shorts, or that take a break every half-inning.

Older great ones: Ali vs. Fraiser, Army vs. Navy, KC vs. Denver, Bears vs. Packers,
NYK vs. Chicago (NBA), LA vs. Boston (NBA), FSU vs Miami, Det vs Chicago (NBA)

Top Multi-part movies

I am back. I am hoping to have my replacement laptop from the school tomorrow so I will be able to check on others blogs more often (And maybe do a little work also). I thought I'd come back with another list. This time a top multi-part movies. The movies have to have 3 parts or more. I made a top 15 of my choices.


15. Naked Gun: This series is a great spoof set. Leslie Neilson may be the best at this type of humor.


14. Karate Kid: Although the third in this trilogy was awful, the first two were very good movies. Jamey's high school crush was the star also :)


13. I know we haven't seen the third one, but if it anywhere near the first two this will move even further up the list. Great movies. Shrek will always be remembered.


12. Die Hard: I am a huge Bruce Willis fan and there are some of the first movies I saw him in. Great movies to watch if you want some action with little thought.


11. Lord of the Rings: If I had watched these movies they would be further up the list. I put them here based on others recommendations.


10. Lethal Weapon: Mel Gibson and Danny Glover are great characters and this set of movies is great. Another action series in my list...imagine that.


9. The Godfather: I have only seen two of these, and only once. But their impact is undeniable.


8. Mission Impossible: I loved the first one of this set. The other two were good movies as well, but not as good as the first. Tom Cruise does great in his role.


7. Teminator: I don't know which I like the best. T2 is great and is actually the first one I saw. The first one is classic as well. Jamey and I watched the last one on the big screen and enjoyed it, just not as much as the first two.

6. The Matrix: I have only seen the first two all the way through. I think I have seen part of the last one. They made the list because of how impressed I was with the first one.


5. James Bond: All of these films have been worth the watch. While I am still partial to Connery, I have enjoyed all the other "Bonds" out there.


4. Star Wars: Some will want it higher on the list. But I was not as into the movies as many were. Still, they are great films.


3. Indiana Jones: I love this series. I think it is the next one I want to own. Harrison Ford does a great job in this role. Still don't know which is my favorite.


2. Back to the Future: A great series of movies. I am into science fiction and love the time travel in the movie. Also love the comedy. Marty McFly will be one of my favorite characters.


1. Anyone that knows me well knew this was coming. It is what sparked this list in my head. I love the Rocky movies. Rocky 4 is my all-time favorite movie. Rocky 1 and 2 are next. I also liked the Rocky Balboa movie that just came out. Not much of a fan for 3 or 5.


Just off the list: National Lampoon's Vacations, Spiderman, Harry Potter, Alien, Home Alone, X-Men, Superman, Ocean's Eleven (they are in the works for a third part).

Top 10 Heroes

Cool Slideshows

Top Ten Heroes

10. Lt. Pete "Maverick" Miller: Top Gun may be one of my favorite all-time movies. "I feel the need, the need for speed" every time I watch this movie. Maverick is the perfect character that is carefree until he has to watch "Goose" his partner die. From then it is about a man that will not quit (OK...so he quits and then they bring him back, whatever).

9. Rick Blaine: Casablanca is a classic movie. Blaine is a great hero.

8. Capt. John H. Miller: Tom Hanks makes it with the first of two of his top ten heroes. This is off Saving Private Ryan. The cast is great, but Hanks shines in his role.

7. Forrest Gump: The second Hanks character. Forrest is an endearing character that everyone cheers for (except that guy throwing rocks at him). The fact that it has so much history makes it a favorite of mine.

6. Batman: A favorite of mine, because he does not have super powers. All the gadgets he has are great as well.

5. T.E. Lawrence: I watched this movie with my grandfather when I was about 12. It was so long it had a 15 minute intermission. I still thought this guy was the coolest though.

4. Indiana Jones: A great character. I am contemplating buying the trilogy with my Christmas money. Harrison Ford makes him a funny/everyday kind of hero. With brains and a little brawn Indiana Jones is a great hero.

3. Rocky Balboa: My personal favorite. If I were being completely biased in this list he would be number 1. I love all the Rocky's (except 5, which is Jamey's favorite). I just bought the 5 DVD set and have seen the new one (which I will add when it comes out on DVD). The steps of Philadelphia are forever popular because of Rocky. Rocky 4 is my favorite as we watch the U.S.A. vs. USSR in the ring.

2. James Bond: An all-time favorite. I put the picture with Sean Connery because I think he was the best Bond. Many agree with that assessment. Either way this character has made it through the years and is my number 2...just barely behind...

1. Atticus Finch: A classic character. Jamey and her mother would have never let me live it down if he was not number one. With the younger students still reading the book he is likely to stay high for a long time.

Well, what did you think? Who did I leave off? Who should not be on the list?

Top 10 Villains

Cool Slideshows

Top Villains

10. Nurse Ratched: One flew over the Cukoo's Nest is a classic movie. And she is a major reason that Jack Nicholson's character went "cukoo". Scary in a way only a women can be. No yelling, just intimidation and manipulation by actions and looks.
Not that I know any women that do that.

9. The Wicked Witch of the West: Another classic and the highest ranking woman on the list. This green witch will forever be rememebered. "I'm melting..."

8. Terminator: Only character to make both lists. In the first terminator, which I think is almost as good as the more popular T2, Arnold is evil. He does a great job at it too.

7. Count Dracula: Another character that is in several different movies played by several men. The character remains a great villain.

6. Freddy Krueger: A nightmarish character. The picture above says enough for me.

5. Predator: A great villain. I now think of all the football players with their dreadlocks hanging out as a version of him.

4. Michael Corleon: The Godfather's are a great series of movies. He might be the ultimate villain on some lists. He makes mine as number 4.

3. Norman Bates: Psycho is a great movie. I have not even seen it, or at least all of it. Which may explain why he is not higher on the list.

2. Hannibal Lecter: Great villain. The series of movies he puts out are great. Although the first stands out as the best. Really, a man that will eat other people has to be a great villain. "Hello Clarice..."

1. Darth Vader: My number one villain for several reasons. I think he is known to all. His voice is great (every time someone even breaths hard you think of him). And above all he is the father to the hero of the movie.

Villains 19-11

Here are villains 19-11

19. Michael Myers: Halloween is one of the original scary movies. Myers is a great villain who many are probably still scared of.

18. Scrooge: Every Christmas most of us watch a movie with Scrooge in it. Even though he comes around in the end, he is a great villain.

17. Dr. Evil: A great villain. The Austin Powers movies would be nothing without this guy. Who else could make putting you pinky in your mouth funny. "Lasers", "One million dollars" and "release the globe" are some of my favorite quotes from him.





16. The Mask from Scream: A great villain. I know there were many that got behind the mask, but every time you see it you are reminded of these movies.





15. Booth: In the Line of fire is a classic movie. This villain does a great job of being evil in his quest to shoot the President.

14. Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker: Older movie. But the names are still known by many who haven't even seen the movie.

13. Amon Goeth: Schindler's list villain is a terrible person. Watching this movie is very moving and this character does a good job at being such an awful person.

12. The Queen from Snow White: Another Disney villain. Probably the most classic of them all.

11. Mr. Smith: The Matrix is a great series of movies. This villain is well known and has super powers. Has great lines in the movies as well. The seen where he has copied himself and like a million of him are attacking at once is classic.

Heroes 19-11

Heroes list 19-11.

19. Terminator: A great movie. This is the Terminator in T2, the other might be on the villain list. So as Arnold would say "He'll be back". Arnold is great in this role (one where he doesn't talk too much).

18. Martin Riggs and Roger Murtaugh: I love the Lethal Weapons. With the brawn and comedy you cannot go wrong. Gibson and Glover are a great team.

17. Oskar Schindler: Powerful movie. A guy that in no way wants to help the Jews, who becomes their only salvation.

16. Austin Powers: Might be one of the best comedies ever done. But you would have to ask my friend Jake Bennett about the final spot for this comedy. Yeah baby yeah.



15. Han Solo/Luke Skywalker: The Star Wars trilogy (now 6-part series) is a classic and has a cult type following. If I were in that group these two would be much higher. I'm not, so they're not. But I am a Harrison Ford fan and he does a great job.

14. Superman: The ultimate Superhero makes the list at number 14. The last Superman movie was good, just not great.

13. Zorro: I love the Zorro movies. Antonio does a great job with this character and Catherine Zeta Jones is great in the movie as well. BTW: I got some "Antonio" colognue for Christmas (it is actually pretty good).

12. General Maximus Decimus Meridius: One of my favorites. Gladiator is a classic movie (with a villain that also made the list). When he avenges his wife/child in the end (and then joins them) it is a great scene.


11. William Wallace: Braveheart is a great movie. Mel Gibson makes the list again (he is on 4 times which is the most of any actor). I could watch this movie once a week. It is very inspirational (even with the awful accent of Gibson). Jamey and I even watched it while we were in Paris.


Any guesses on the top 10?

Villians 29-20

Here is the next part of the villians/heroes series. Let me know if this is worth dragging out or I should just get it over with.

29. Harry Lime and Barry Merchants: The home alone villains are some of my favorite. This movie is a classic and they provide some great scenes. When the guys hair catches fire is still my favorite.


28. Cruella De Ville: The 101 Dalmations would have no arguement here. "If she doesn't scare you, no evil thing will".

27. The Shark: In Jaws this is the main character. I know he doesn't act, but he still gave me many-a-nightmares.

26. The Joker: Batman is a great hero (not superhero because of no supernatural powers), and he has his villain.

25. Max Cady: Cape Fear is a great movie. And this villain makes the movie.

24. Scarface: Great movie. Great character. Great acting.


23. Eleanor Islen: Manchurian Candidate is a great movie. What kind of woman would do that to her son?

22. Castor Troy: This character is great because he is played by two actors (John Travolta and Nic Cage) in the same movie. I love the movie face off. And this character under both men is a great villain.


21. Lady Tremaine: The evil stepmother of Cinderella. Didn't you just want to hit her? She also continues are woman villain theme :)

20. Tyler Durden: Fight club is a classic movie. Brad Pitt does an outstanding job in this movie. To be a fictional character in the end, he makes one great villain.

Heroes 29-20

The next part of the heroes...

29. Spiderman: Great character. I'd probably have him higher on the list if the movies did not have the two worst actors ever (Toby Mcguire and Kristen Dumb).

28. Creasy: Man on Fire is another great Denzel movie that is under-rated. Creasy is a great tough guy that falls for a little girl and in the end...well, rent the movie and see.

27. Rudy Ruettiger: Who doesn't at least know of Rudy? Every time some scrub on a team makes something happen you here jokes about Rudy. If he hadn't played for Notre Dame he would move up at least 5 more spots.


26. John Rambo: Sylvester Stallone is one of my favorite actors and he has two on the list. Bet you can guess the other one. But Rambo is another great series.

25. Ethan Hunt: Mission Impossible is a great series of movies. And as much as Tom Cruise is crazy in real life, he is a great actor.

24. Sparticus: Classic movie. Great character. I still remember the pepsi commercial that referenced the movie with the whole "I am Sparticus" scene.

23. Jefferson Smith: I love the older movie "Mr. Smith goes to Washington". Jimmy Stewart is great in this role as a young senator that learns of the corrupt politics in Washington and then defeats it.

22. Detective John Mclain: Die Hard is classic. I am also a huge Bruce Willis fan. His role as this tough guy is great.





21. Daniel Larusso: Jamey's favorite character of her teen years. The Karate Kid is a classic movie and the kick in the end will forever be remembered.


20. Thelma Dickerson and Louise Sawyer: Classic movie again with characters everybody knows.

39-30 Villains

Here are villains 39-30. Let me know what you think.

39. Jack Torrance: The shining. Great villain played by Jack Nickolson.

38. Carl Lee Hailey: Actually I would consider him to be the good character in the film "A time to kill", but he did kill two people. Samuel Jackson does a great job in this movie.

37. Capt. Frank Ramsey: Crimson Tide. This guy does a great job as the officer that is too hard nosed to look at other options. Hackman does another outstanding job. The scenes with him and Denzel are great.



36. Ursula: The Little Mermaid is one of my favorite movies. Ursula is a great villain. "Those poor unfortunate souls..."

* Just a side note here: There seem to be a lot more women in the villains list than the heroes list.

35. Ed Rooney: The principle in Farris Bueller's Day off. Does a good job of being the "villain" in this comedy.

34. Captain Hook: Another Disney character. I love this story and he will always be remembered.

33. John Patrick Mason: The rock. Another villain only in the technical sense. Sean Connery does a great job as a man that comes out of prison to help save the day in The Rock.

32. Col William Tarvington: The Patriot is one of my favorite movies of all time. This character makes one of the best arrogant villains in any movie. After all, he killed a boy. The scene where he is attempting to get Mel Gibson to fight by bragging on the killing of his son is intense.

31. Commodus: The evil Emperor who kills his father and attempts to kill Maximus is a great villain in Gladiator. He can make your skin crawl with the way he acts.

30. Lex Luther: A more famous villain. It would be hard though, to always be against Superman. What kind of chance is that?

Heroes 39-30

Here is a continuation of the Heroes/Villains list. The Villains will be posted tomorrow.

39. Three Musketeers: These guys have been famous for awhile. I enjoyed the latest movie about them, although it did not top the Charlie Sheen, Keifer Sutherland, Chris O'Donnell, Tim Curry, Rebecca De Mornay version which I feel was a classic.

38. Tarzan: Famous character. I prefer the cartoon version, but Brendan Fraiser did a good job as well.

37. Robin Hood: A classic pick here. There have been several great movies with this story. Men in Tights is my favorite though.

36. Luke Jackson: From Cool Hand Luke. Paul Newman does a great job in this movie.



35. Lt. John Dunbar: Dances with wolves is a classic. As a white-man turned indian this character will not be forgotten.

34. Dr. Richard Kimball: Harrison Ford does a great job with Kimball as
"the fugitive". Ford will be on the list with a few other greats as well.

33. Anne Porter and Jack Tarven: Speed was a great movie. Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock will be forever linked to this as their big breaks.

32. Mary Poppins: The classic lady that had everything you could want...all in one bag.

31. John Q: Another Denzel character. He makes you feel for him in this movie where he comes within seconds of killing himself for his boy. You almost forget that he is holding an entire hospital hostage. Great movie.

30. Dirty Harry: A great character.

More to come. Let me know what you think.

Sports Movies/Servant Hearts

Before I get into my top Sports Movies I'd like to share something I saw today at Alabama Christian. While driving home I saw our maintanance men working on our shrubs and cleaning gutters, etc... Of course I thought nothing about it until I drove by... As I passed them I realized who the "maintanance men" were. The President of ACA, Principle of ACA, and Assistant Priniciple of ACA all covered in sweat and dirt. This made me realize I had made the right decision to come to this school. Places I have been in the past would not have had this happen to say the least. I was very impressed and feel I am under the right type of servant leaders.

Ok, now on to two of my favorite topics, sports and movies. Here is my top 20.
Criteria: Movie must be mainly centered around sport. I don't count cheerleading or sports like Tennis, etc (sports that are stupid). Also, no racecar movies (these may be concidered a sport by some, not me) or Karate weird type sports (sorry Karate Kid fans).

20. Miracle: Great Story. Have to have at least one hockey in the top 20 incase some Canadian reads my blog. Also I enjoy clean movies based on a true story.

19. Happy Gilmore: Love Adam Sandler. One of the few who can make me want to watch golf.

18. The Rookie: Great movie. Another clean one based on a true story. Could've been higher if he hadn't made the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. I'd have changed it and put him on the Cardinals or someone.

17. The Waterboy: Adam Sandler again. A personal favorite with many great lines. "Mamamama said" this is a great movie. Also love when Lawrence Taylor says "Don't do drugs" the week before he gets busted.

16. Heaven Can Wait: Great older movie. For those who have not seen it. The main charater is the starting QB for the Rams. He is "taken" from life to early by his angel. Later on he is placed in a millionares body for awhile. Comedy that is worth renting some night. Women will even watch it with you for the smaller love story that develops.

15. White Men Can't Jump: Classic. Great actors, great plot, great dialogue.

14. Varsity Blues: Had to put it up there for the football scenes. Not a big fan of the rest of the stuff, but it had great action scenes.

13. Major Leagues Series: The first was one of the funniest movies every. Baseball fans will love it for the action, I love it for the comedy.

12. The Program: Movie that show the corruption in college sports. We don't know much about that down here around Auburn (Oops).

11. Radio: Great clean movie based on a true story.

10. Bull Duram: Classic.

9. A League of their own: Wasn't sure about putting this one up here. Not a big softball (even though they are playing baseball) fan. But the cast makes the movie. Tom Hanks, Geena Davis, Rosie O'Donnell, Madonna.

8. Field of Dreams: Great movie. Another that the whole family can enjoy.

7. The Longest Yard: Both the original and remake were great. If you have not seen the original with "The Burt" watch it.

6. Raging Bull: Robert De Niro is great as a boxer in this classic.

5. The Natural: Great Baseball classic. The last scene with the homerun is great. Only problem is that Robert Redford was already too old for this part.

4. Rudy: Could move up later. Great clean family movie.

3. Rocky Series: Rocky IV is my all-time favorite movie (the one vs. the Russian). The others are classics. This will move down on the list if the rumored Rocky VI comes out.

2. Hoosiers: Could have been number one. Great movie for the family.

1. Remember the Titans: I know it is a newer movie, but man what a classic already. Great Actors and the worlds best sport. Has great action shots and teaches several lessons. And clean enough to show any audience.
