Movies What I Like That People Make Fun of Me For:

Josie and the Pussycats -- DuJour means crash positions!

Orange County -- on writing and home and getting away from home and gay surfers

Drumline -- ONE BAND! ONE SOUND!

American Outlaws -- Gabriel Macht's Frank James is smoking hot. Seriously.

Matrix Reloaded -- The twins, man. The twins. Also Agent Elrond Smith.

Mystery Men -- Disco is not dead! Disco is life! Also, Ms. Garafalo.

The Replacements -- Because apparently I'm totally a sucker for movies where the official team goes on strike and the games have to be played by replacement players. This is also totally true of that one movie with Kathy Ireland and Scott Bakula, both Major League movies, and really, any movie that involves a cast of misfits playing sports and discovering that they are truly awesome and the equal of professional players if they just want it enough. See also: Angels in the Outfield (both versions), The Mighty Ducks, A League of Their Own, Iron Ladies, etc etc etc. Okay, so maybe I am just a sucker for earnest sports movies.

Ah, the movie in question would be "Necessary Roughness."

Yeah, the earnest sports movie is a favorite genre of mine which is why I'll watch all the Rocky movies (except for the one with Mr. T) over and over again; especially the one with Dolph Lundgren in it because, hey, Dolph!

On my list I'd include: The Longest Yard (the original, dammit), The Sandlot, and The Bad News Bears (again, the original), Bud Greenspan's Olympic films - not exactly underdoggish but they have their moments, Hoosiers.

I love The Replacements if only for the jailhouse dance scene.

The jailhouse dance scene is awesome.

And yes! Necessary Roughness! I heart it so. The Rockys are awesome, The Sandlot is also awesome, and I somehow managed to miss the Bad News Bears and the Longest Yard.

And oh, Hoosiers. *cuddles it*
