Back from the dead
My Mac died a few months ago and so did this blog. But today was the perfect storm.
You see, I came home and turned on the TV and almost had a meltdown.
Better Off Dead and Fast Times at Ridgemont High were both on cable. What are you supposed to do when two of the most awesome movies ever are both on TV at the same time?
So after sweating, shivering, and crying in paralysis, I flipped a coin and watched Better Off Dead.
You see, I was inspired to make a list of some of the best movies ever:
Fast Times at Ridgemont High
Aloha, Mr. Hand.


Better Off Dead
I want my $2.

Sixteen Candles
Zapped
Scott Baio and Willie Ames before Charles was in charge. I sure wish I had those magic powers.

The Empire Strikes Back
I’m your father.

Getting Lucky
Most people don’t know this cinematic gem. The film is about a high school senior who wants to score with a cheerleader. He discovers an alcoholic leprechaun in a beer bottle who must grant him ‘three’ wishes before he is allowed to return to Ireland.

Back to School
My inspiration to pursue a college education. Watch Rodney pull off the most amazing dive in history, the Triple Lindy.
Revenge of the Nerds
My hero, the coach.

“You know, when you were a baby in your crib, your father looked down at
you, he had but one hope - some day my son will grow to be a man. Well
look at you now. You just got your asses whipped by a bunch of goddamn
nerds.
Well, if I was you, I’d do something about it. I would get up
and redeem myself in the eyes of my father, my maker, and my coach!”
And here, in all it’s glory, is Supernova performing “Chewbacca”
Listen here:
And yes, El Santo is back, “Back in Black” that is:

agreed. the coreys fundamentally informed who i am as a person and the kind of man i’m attracted to. for better or for worse.
personally, i believe that the goonies belongs on this list.
the coreys are critical in any best movie analysis.
