I think you guys will be lampooned by people listening to the podcast because Remember the Titans doesn't need me to defend it.

It made $130 million at the box office.

The people flocked to the cinema.

It came out in 2000 and the cinema meant something.

It doesn't mean they all liked it.

No, they did though.

I saw it in the cinema and I don't think it's that good.

you know just yeah popular doesn't equal good Westlife are doing 13 nights in the three arena next year hang on okay Dave your first choice 1999 you're saying a good year for cinema do you want to just elaborate on that for a moment yeah I mean it's kind of often held up there as the best year for cinema ever because you got stuff like Fight Club The Blair Witch Project Magnolia

Let's see what else because Lighthouse did like a season a while ago and they didn't include this film in there which really upset me because otherwise I was like yeah there's so much more here to pick from.

American Beauty I think.

American Beauty is out that year.

Is American Pie out that year?

It's just like you keep looking and you're like 1999 has ridiculous amount of great films in there.

2007 was another kind of good year but like buried in the mix here I feel.

It tends to only be on sports lists like this one.

It's Any Given Sunday by Oliver Stone.

The most insane film ever made.

I can't use the cocaine cinema line again, but this is like if cocaine was a sentient human who went in and made a film.

I can't get over how many cuts there are in this film, how many needle drops there are in this film.

I listened to the commentary and Oliver Stone was like, oh, it was really tough to clear the music for this.
