I can't imagine anyone recommending NIGHTHAWKS or VICTORY, two real stiffs. Haven't seen the others. At least they didn't include the abysmal GET CARTER.
Sly Stallone really believed in this movie. He staged it at an actual thumb-wrestling tournament in Las Vegas. His best line wasn't in the movie; Sly got it off during an interview:
"You've got guys here from M.I.T., and you've got guys here who can't spell M.I.T."

Also inexplicably missing: The Party at Kitty and Stud's. A classic!
I've seen three of the five: Nighthawks, Victory and Copland. All three are good, and I think Copland is one of the best movies Stallone has been in.
Nobody should se those, Bill! Well, I haven't see RHINESTONE but the other was appalling.
Good one, Deb.I'm sure everyone remembers his early turn in BANANAS.
I've seen 4 of the 5. PARADISE ALLEY is the fifth.
You guys have seen more of those than I have, but I've seen both RHINESTONE and STOP OR MY MOM WILL SHOOT.
What about the arm wrestling movie?
Oh, yeah. I've forgotten the title, but I saw that one, too.
Over-the-Top!
Right. How could I forget?
COPLAND?! Stallone played the Wagner of American composers?!?!??
And what about BANANAS (1971) ?
Check up there, Dan. I mentioned that earlier today.

Clearly he was hoping for a wide audience ...
