    Anyone remember the old movie "Sneakers?"

    I picked this up the other day, and while watching it, I remembered how much I loved it. I was actually amazed that I found it on DVD, since it is pretty obscure/not too popular.
    I love how the movie plays on the way people fall into routines, and how people are inclined into believing what you tell them when presented with stress or misdirection.
    That, and I think it would be a cool job to have; what those guys do in the movie.
    It also has a lot of good actors in it: Robert Redford, Dan Akroyd, Ben Kingsley, Sidney Portier, River Phoenix, etc.

      Older movies are showing up on DVD all the time now. I just got the funniest movie of all time yesterday on DVD for $8.88 at Sam's Club...1941!!!!

      1941 rocked hard. Dan Ackroyd, John Belushi, Ned Beatty, and others, back when PC didn't mean a thing!

      Best line ever..."Horrywood, horrywood"!! (Hollywood with a Japanese accent!)

                      This is too funny, I was just watching it like 30 min ago.

                      The funniest part is when Robert Redford tried to jump over the teller counter in the beginning and ends up falling on his head.

                      "I'm getting too old for this."

                      I never laughed so hard!
