Keanu is so good. But nothing will touch his role as a French Canadian goalie in Youngblood. Nothing. What's that line? "He's like fucking an animal" or something?

plus iwas too lazy to google the correct spelling
I'd never seen this until last night, when I specifically rented it because I was so ashamed at this missing link in my knowledge of the world. And it did not disappoint. When I saw John McGinley and James LeGros in the opening credits I knew I was in good hands. Thumbs up to all the aforementioned lines, the smart casting of Lori Petty as Love Interest, hott bromance. And maybe I've just been ruined by today's editing, but I found all the action sequences really coherent and exciting, esp. the foot chase where teh Swayze just runs through peoples' houses all Ferris-style, picking up dogs and throwing them at Keanu, leaping fences, whatever it takes.

This movie used to be on TV at least once a month back in the 90s, kind-of like Zoolander. Thank god for Fuse, I almost forgot it existed.

Anthony Kiedis being shot in the foot is my favourite moment in this film. Presumably where he found the inspiration to hop around on stage like a cunt for the past 20 years.

my fucking pb memory: i returned from work in like 1992 to find my roommate again planted on the couch watching this rental for the nth time. we were at the "i hate you on sight- go ahead say something" stage of roommate-dom. bag and coat in hand, i looked at the tv, looked at him, rolled my eyes and blurted "o god. that patrick swayze, he's soooo dreamy."
boom! he vaulted from semi supine clear over the back of that couch in a nano second and was in my face with the "what the fuck you wanna go blah blah blah."
good times, good times. but, he has better taste in movies than me.

well, the homophobia underlying the event grates on me as i think about it-- i may as well have said "omg you are such a fag about patrick swayze"! but the story is offered as to pure spiteful button-pushing, and its object is clearly not to cover either of us in glory.

Kem Nunn ought to be namechecked somewhere in this thread. They ruined his book, but in a totally awesome way.

No better thread to post this stuff. I recommend turning the sound down for this first one, because the music is entirely inappropriate to how truly fucked up this wave is. I love the shot where the wave grabs the dude by his head and flips him like a cartwheel.

The music on this one is pretty dope. RJD2. It's just a little bit mournful, so you remember that YOU CAN DIE DOING THIS.

First movie I ever saw when I was high. Freaked out inside when Utah almost got his head shoved in the lawnmower.
I just googled when it was released on VHS and one of the questions google suggested was, "is Point Break based on a true story?"

I just caught the second half of this last night. Loling at the part where the Ex-Presidents are so radical that when it comes time to make a bonfire, they don't open the container of lighter fluid, but stick a butterfly knife in it. Seems like a terrible bonfire/great way to set yourself on fire.
