Keith....what is the last movie you saw in the theater?

Jeez, where did that come from?

IIRC the last movie I saw in a theater was when 'Driven' with Stallone was released.

I have impaired hearing for a variety of reasons - loud rock and roll in my youth, sitting in open cockpit formula cars right in front of powerful un-muffled racing engines usually at full throttle, all before they understood loud noise was bad for your ears. That and living during the era when they sold leaded gasoline.

So I use Netflix to take advantage of closed-captioning.

IIRC the last time I saw a movie in the theater was when 'Driven' with Stallone was released.

I got kicked out of the theater because I was laughing to loud during the contrived, dramatic, totally unrealistic, racing sequences.

What's your all time favorite movie? I have 2. Bruce Brown's 'On Any Sunday', and John Frankenheimer's Grand Prix.
