Round #12 Pick #180
Tin Cup (Ron Shelton, 1996)
A washed up golf pro working at a driving range tries to qualify for the US Open in order to win the heart of his succesful rival's girlfriend.
One of my all-time favourite easy viewing movies. I could watch it a million times. So many phenomenal scenes, the going for it scene, the lay up at the Pro-Am, the 7-iron bet, the scene where he uses the piranha metaphor when talking with Molly, when he has the bet at the back of the green and then in the clubhouse. Costner is great, there's so many quotables, and while it's not re-inventing the wheel, I love it. Just a really, fun movie with a great ending.

Round 12, Pick #14 (179th Overall Pick)
If you weren't a child of the 90s, you won't understand this pick.
Home Alone is the perfect movie to round out my draft. Like all great kids movies it has - wish fulfillment, laughs, scares, an important message, and is a ton of fun. So many great one liners in this movie. Stern and Pesci are top notch. Man, everything about this movie is amazing. It even has a John Candy cameo.
A movie as good as Home Alone deserves a better write up, but I'm in a rush. I'll come back later and do it justice.

Yes. I thought about but decided there are many I like more but I really like Tin Cup a lot. Very entertaining, plus I have always had a thing for Rene Russo.
But the basic story of Tin Cup was a novel I was working on a long time ago when I thought I could be a writer (I can't!). I always hoped to really work on it and then Tin Cup came out and stole my idea

I totally understand the pick but would have never made it myself as I was already an old man when it came out.
