I'm a huge fan of Talk Radio which is an incredible mix of dialogue and image.  It's not as important as JFK, but it's even more impressive, more skillfully made.

Any Given Sunday. I'm a big American football fan (go Raiders) and thought this was really fun. For once I felt that Pacino's screaming was good for his role.

I'm a fan of Platoon as well, but there are other war films that I like more than that, so I went with Sunday.

-James Bond: A little. But I won't consider myself to be in trouble until I start weeping blood.

My favorite is Any Given Sunday. It completely matches the ridiculous hype of US sport.
