[stlcardsfan]

Here are two of my all time favorites that I don’t think have been mentioned:

Breaking Away - all time underdog movie. If you haven’t seen it seek it out
The Verdict -incredible performance by Paul Newman. I love courtroom dramas and this is the best one I have ever seen.

I watched The Big Short last week. I ordered the book, and I'll be interested to see how it differs from the movie.
