There are a few movies on this I haven’t seen. I’ve never seen a single Rocky movie all the way through. I don’t think I saw a full Rambo movie either. The most was seeing First Blood but it was on cable TV and I started it about 15 minutes late. I can’t recall ever watching any Richard Pryor movie. Never saw Tootsie because my parents didn’t want me to watch a movie involving transvestitism and I barely remember 9 to 5. My family weren’t big on James Bond movies either, and it wasn’t until high school when I finally saw the old Sean Connery movies. I’ve seen the rest off these movies.

There was a cool game arcade next door where we played video games in between the two movies. That was a great day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
