With Charlie Sheen being the highest paid sitcom star on TV right now, it’s really kind of fascinating to look back and remember all the great movies in which he’s acted over the years as well. What’s your favorite of his biggest hits?
(One note about this poll, it turns out that Charlie’s been in a lot of movie series. Single titles here represent every movie from the series.)
Just came across this cool website you should check out. It lists hundreds of movies in which the characters play darts or the plot has something to do with the game. It’s

On Monday I promised to tell you the greatest football movie of all time. This was after the unfortunateness that occurred here in the Lounge. Here are a few of the films that we “discussed” on Sunday.
Jerry Macquire
I only mention this one because the guy who broke the mirror during the brawl on Sunday was trying to convince us that JM is the greatest football movie ever. No. Simply no. It might be the greatest chick flick that involves football ever – even the women were saying, “Dude, it’s a chick flick!” – but it barely even ranks as a football movie. I mean, when the most memorable line is “you had me at hello?” C’mon!
Rudy
Who doesn’t love a movie about the underdog making good? I definitely recommend this one to anyone who likes football. It’s a good one, just not the greatest.
The Waterboy
Now, I’ll admit that there’s a soft place in my heart for any movie with Henry Winkler in it. But why did they have to give so much screen time to that mouth-breather, Adam Sandler?
Brian’s Song
Okay, this movie has its place on the list. Who doesn’t tear up just a little at this one? But it’s not really a football movie, is it? I mean football is certainly integral to the main character but it just doesn’t really cut it as a sports film.
The Longest Yard
Football movie, prison movie and Burt Reynolds movie – what, are you kidding me? It simply does get any better. (And if you think I’m talking about the Adam Sandler remake then you are hereby banned from the Lounge!) This is the greatest football movie of all time, hands down, end of discussion.
