I'm a sucker for Tin Cup. Mainly the ending.

I always thought he had directed The Contender as well. Guess that's actually Rod Lurie, whoever he is.

I'll always remember the Cinecast episode where someone wrote in about a phrase that he and his friends used. When a movie was really bad they'd say "that was Cobb bad". That cracks me up for some reason, and I've even said it a few times (without having actually seen Cobb). It's a catchy phrase.
