Now i'll comment on a few of them

First Blood
This was the first movie that we watched. Actually Pete, Chris, Smith watched all of the First Blood movies one Saturday in December '07. We actually watched this movie about 4 times over the course of the movie night run. We even got to see First Blood on the big screen. There was a special showing at the Regal , but I think (including us) there were only about 10 people in the theater. It's still probably my favorite Stallone movie.



The Party at Kitty and Stud's
Yes Stallone's "porn" movie. We had it on the same night that we watched also watched "Oscar" but on that movie night (one of the few we had at my apt) We were working on another project. We were organizing my pictures for the Burning Fight Book. So we did have the movie on (no homo, lol) but we weren't really paying too much attention to it. SO again no homo :) But we had to watch it for the sake of the movie night.



The Lords of Flatbush
This was Stallone's answer to American Graffiti. It was about four friends in the fifties and their coming of age. It also features one of the funniest trailers ever.



Avenging Angelo
This had some potential. It was Anthony Quinn's last movie. It had a mob storyline. Stallone was a mob boss' bodyguard . So you figure it would be good right? Wrong...it was a chick flick. It was like Sly was put in some made for TV love story that you would see on Lifetime or Oxygen. It was easily (in my opinion) the most disappointing movie of the movie night.



Rambo
I think this movie inspired the Stallone movie night. It was Stallone's comeback and very satisfying. It the only memorable action movie that I've seen this decade and leave a 60+ year old Sly to bring it.




In'09 we are going to have a Eastwood movie night but so dar we've only watched "Gran Torino" so we will see how that goes.
