Best Film Ever?
Patrick Swayze played a man that was out of prison on parole after going down for vehicular manslaughter.
He was going to lose his house, as he couldn't keep up with repayments. He was then offered a one off driving job, for $10000 - enough to pay off his debt.
Only he'd lost his license, after his conviction. But guess what? He did it anyway! Yep.
Only Meatloaf, who had been the guy he was picking up the truck from, then wanted to hijack it, becasue it was full of guns.
So we had many, many scenes of Patrick Swayze who's character was called 'Jack Cruz' (that's a trucking action hero name!) knocking off various bad guys wuith his truck.
All vehicles exploded as soon as they crashed too, which was really cool.
Anyway, the bloke that Jack was delivering too then kidnapped his wife and child, to ensure that he got the job done. This made Jack angry.
Even though he got shot in the shoulder, he was still good enough to drive, he was good. Apparently he could 'drive an ice-truck through Hell on July 4th.'
There was also an under cover cop, and Patrick Swayze got all smart, and turned the tables on his boss that he was delivering the guns too, and got the police involved.
After a bit of a shoot out scene the police thanked Jack, sorted it out so he could keep his house, and gave him a driving license. Rather than throw him back in jail for breaking his parole conditions, and driving a truck full of guns across the country. Maybe they were like fairy police, or something.
Anyway, I thought that this was the end, only Meatloaf was annoyed that he hadn't managed to get his guns, so he went after Jack, and tried to run him off the road.
Jack was a better driver though, and Meatloaf's cab flipped over for no apparent reason in to the path of an oncoming train.
This movie had trucks, guns and explosions, and though Swayze is getting on a bit, his hair was still nice. Could we have asked for anymore?

"Kiss of Death" does rule.
Nic Cage rocks, David Caruso is ginger and angry and Ving Rhames is in it.
Best bit?
The stolen car buy-off.
Ving "I don't want that one"
Cage "Why not?"
Ving "It's red."
Cage "So?"
Ving "It's red"

I'm popping this so you all realise how much it ruled.
Trucks. Guns. Explosions.

No, no, I think you'll find the best film ever, is in fact...
*checks IMDB for name of that memorable film*
..."Kiss of Death"
Why is this film so good?
It features Nicholas Cage as a psychopath with a phobia of metal spoons. Who calls himself B.A.D. which stands for Bad Asss Dude. It also features some anaemic ginger guy who's meant to trap Cag and blah di blah di blah. Worth watching just for the scenes with cage playing a gloriously badly written villain with a phobia of metal spoons and a love of acronymns.
