watch Con Air

The Rock, for that matter

Anything from when Nicholas Cage was still well thought of, and attracted quality co-stars.

Face-off too, but that's where his career jumped the shark, so you're skating on thin ice.

It's real good, it's incredibly good to watch all these hall of famers talk about how much they bonded on these buffalo teams and try desperately to say that Buffalo isn't a dump rear end town only appreciated by local buffaloans who have no frame of reference for how bad it sucks because they have only lived in buffalo

jokes aside it's an above average 30 for 30, which means it's good. Maybe not top tier 30f30, but still above average

It's really, really good. I was only old enough to love the Steelers (to impress my older brothers) while all of that was happening with Buffalo, so it gave me a real appreciation of how great those Bills teams were. There's a cathartic sadness to it. Definitely recommend

Thank you friends, I think I will watch it then.

I wonder if TFF would enjoy a "lets watch every football movie" thread, in which we list all the movies with football and then watch them.

For real though, when picking a mindless movie you should check out the podcast How Did This Get Made. Pick a movie that they cover, watch the movie then the podcast and thank me later. Since we are on the subject, they cover Con Air and is an excellent intro episode along with Face/Off.

On the other hand, I did not care for million dollar baby. It felt like it was going to be a great movie for the first half and then it turned into clint eastwood wallows in poo poo because the world sucks. Which OK but he did that movie better with Unforgiven.

Robot JOX is possibly the least Stuart Gordon movie Stuart Gordon ever made but it's still really good.

speaking of which, everyone should watch Castle Freak. It's got a castle, it's got a freak, what's not to love.

I remember being young and watching Con Air the same day as Face/Off and liking it a whole lot more.

I mean, maybe, but I think because of Rocky, Raging Bull and more recently Million Dollar Baby that and there are just a lot more attempts at 'prestige' boxing films that just don't really exist for other sports because they win awards and you can do your Scorcese/De Niro homage. I feel like every male actor now has to play a boxer somewhere along the line in the same way they have to play a soldier, a cop, a famous political figure, a superhero, etc. to round out their portfolio.

No, Southpaw is really bad. I say this as a massive fan of Gyllenhaal and a sometimes fan of boxing. It is a bad sports movie and every boxing scene in it is terrible. It's ok if you don't understand boxing, have never boxed, and don't mind how bad the boxing is. It is bad for boxing though. If that movie were a UFC fighter it would be a Gracie, and not even one of the good ones. It would be a bad Gracie like Renzo.
