Gonna Fly Now

While it's really too bad we are not all brainstorming movies featuring mentors that speak broken English, I can admit that there are loads of fantastic sports movies out there to choose from.

Here are some lists of "greatest sports films ever" to help you in compiling your picks:

- Sports Illustrated

- ESPN

- Moviefone

- Nutty About Sports

Happy Birthday, Dear Lazy Eye, Happy Birthday to You


Yo Yo Yo, Members! Thanks so much for turning out for Lazy Eye's Second Birthday! And a special MVP thanks to our hosts Amy and Kevin! Can you believe the Lazy is now two years old? As George said, that basically means that, in LA years, we are now a local institution. We are the best movie club ever.

Roll up your sleeves because the meetings are gonna keep coming! Our next movie selection is Footloose (1984). We know, as children of the '80s, that 1984 was a great year, possibly the greatest year ever, so this will be totally rad.

And don't forget to brainstorm for movies fitting our next theme: sports movies! And for our complete suggestions list:

Rachel: **Footloose**, Singin' in the Rain, Shall We Dance (Japanese version). Theme: Movies about food.

Neil: Saturday Night Fever, Honey (2003) starring Jessica Alba, Mad Hot Ballroom. Theme: Movies involving mental illness.

Emma: Strictly Ballroom, Swingtime, Singin' in the Rain. Theme: **Sports movies**.

Earl: Swingers, Blues Brothers, Triplets of Belleville. Theme: Gangsta movies.

Allie: Strictly Ballroom, Pulp Fiction, Saturday Night Fever. Theme: Documentaries.

Hannah: Saturday Night Fever, Kung Fu Hustle, Faster Pusscat, Kill Kill. Theme: 80s comedy.

Amy: Black Orpheus, Boogie Nights, Footloose. Theme: Snow or mountains.

Kevin: Top Secret, All That Jazz, Kung Fu Hustle. Theme: Movies from the 60s-80s set in the future.

Ron: The Saddest Music in the World, Kung Fu Hustle, Flashdance, Breakin 2: Electric Boogaloo, Battleship Potemkin, The Wizard of Oz. Theme: Movies that feature life mentors that speak broken English.

Chan: Save the Last Dance, Antonio Banderas dance movie, Step Up. Theme: Really stupid movies.

[We also thank for their attendance: George, Arshad.]
