Hey gang. I'm sure you're all worried about me since I haven't logged in for over FIVE MINUTES!!! but don't worry. I'm still here with another totally punctual weekly film thread. This Week: Over the Top Chosen by: cobretti (who else?) Not only is this a Stallone classic, but it's also our first movie to start with the letter 'O'. So... that's something. Anyone got a movie that starts with L, M, Q, V, X, Y or Z? Let's fill out our Vault, people! Released: 1987 Starring: Sylvester J. Pussycat Sr Director: Menahem Golan Producer: Menahem Golan Writer: Stallone, Stirling Silliphant |

Excellent film. It is one of the most memorable films from that era for me.
I didn't see it until years later it came out, but as a kid I thought it was one of the coolest things.
Someone driving Optimus Prime to participate in tournaments that you fight with your strength alone, and featuring Stallone.
Definitely a must watch essential movie.

About Over the Top, I watched it countless times on tv when I was a kid and always loved it. It's one of the few Cannon movies that leans more towards drama, and I think it does make a good job portraying the bonding of a father and his son. Also there are trucks and arm wrestling, I can always respect that. |

Balder is up to it again. Giving a stone cold classic Stallone movie a low rating. I see you, Balder. I see you. I don’t know what’s going on up there in Norway, but it must be pretty messed up.

It's not me dude. I haven't seen it or let alone heard of it before. But do you know what will make you even more disappointed? It was either scipioafricanus or dschult3 . Sorry for calling you guys out, but it's cobretti we're dealing with here. |

It was me. I gave it a 3. I was a tad bit annoyed at the sheer stupidity of this movie, but it had its moments. What annoyed me the most was the fact that the "truckers" would only work out one arm, because of their driving. I know some tough truckers, and they don't look like this:
By the way, it is annoying to vote and always have to justify it.

Come on man, you gotta stand by your opinions dude. Don't let cobretti scare ya. He doesn't know there exist any other voting options except for 5. You have a Cannon movie starring Stallone, directed by the master Manahem Golan, about arm wrestling truckers, and has Kenny Loggins on the soundtrack. Explain to me how that’s not a 5, Balder. dschult3 you don’t have to justify your vote, my dude. Balder has to justify it. |

(the 1969 film) I haven't seen it myself, but it starts with AND ends with the letter Z! You can't get much closer to the letter than that. |
