    ★★★★

    “I don't like succotash at 9 o'clock." -Stinky

    From Zoolander's inability to turn left to Dave Chappelle's blind racist sketch, INSIDE MOVES is probably more influential than you'd expect from a nearly forgotten Richard Donner film. Filmed during Magic Johnson and Larry Bird's rookie year, this movie captures the intimacy of the NBA prior to the 1980's. Although set in Oakland, most of the actors seem to have Chicago accents, and aside from the occasional palm tree, the scenery even kinda resembles Chicago. Keep an eye out for Donner's SUPERMAN Easter egg.

    "The last time I was really happy, I got so fat. I must've put on 25 pounds." -Ann

    At one point in the film Graham is drinking ice tea with lemon and a glass of water. Later he serves Ann ice tea and asks her if she wants lemon. Next he serves Cynthia ice tea and says he is out of lemon. Finally, he serves Ann a glass of water, apologizes that he is out of ice tea and then we see a bowl of fresh lemons behind him. I'm not sure what any of this means, but it seems important.
