Coming in at #5!


5. URBAN COWBOY

WHAT??? you say... Come on this is a really great movie. Either you love it or you hate it, and I for one LOVE IT! I actually think that the love story is greater than THE NOTEBOOK. Of course I'm kidding. But the acting is really good in this movie and the characters are so believable that you almost forget that the people you are watching fight like morons are Debra Winger and John Travolta! Might I add that you get to see John Travolta's awesome dancing skills in yet another movie and this time their Country Dancing Skills! That man can dance!

It's a movie about a boy from Spur, TX that is extremely competitive in life. He moves to Houston, TX and gets introduced to his first love which is a bar named Gilley's, he finds his second love which is mechanical bull and his third a bar regular named Sissy. Out of the 3 loves he chooses Sissy but not after challenging an ex con, cheating on her with a way classier girl and winning big in a bull riding contest!

Obviously I find a lot of hilarity in this movie and don't take it serious at all! Is that weird?

It starts getting funny when John Travolta's character "Bud" first starts to get jealous because Sissy was asking "Wes" if he was a real cowboy and after the bar they went to eat and "Wes" walks in and tips his hat to Sissy" and Bud goes insane! He takes it out on the waitress and tells her "my burgers still moving" and she asks "well what do you want me to do?" and he says "put it back on the fire!!" and throws the burger at the waitress..ahahahaha but instead hits "Wes" and gets his butt kicked. From there the comedy does not stop coming, they get in a fight and separate over who rides a mechanical bull better! Sissy moves into a trailer with Wes an ex con and Bud is still an idiot. I can tell you the whole movie or you can rent it but the important part is that in the end, Love prevails and Bud and Sissy reunite after Bud wins the big bull contest, "The Devil went down to Georgia" gets played, Wes gets his in the end, and Johnny Lee takes us out with "Looking for Love". NOTE: this is one of the best soundtracks in the history of movies! I guess the reason this movie is number 5 on my greatest movies of all time is because I can watch it a million times and never get tired of it!
