Planes, Trains & Automobiles (1987)

Apollo 13 (1995)

It is one of the harder things to do in software development. I was in a meeting recently where the subject came up. This clip from Apollo 13 where Ed Harris (as Gene Kranz) said "I don't need...

It's a Wonderful Life (1946)

Bambi (1942)

A Few Good Men (1992)

This is one of the best movies. It is chock-full of quotes. Because they stand on a wall "Because they stand on a wall" Watch the clip You Can't Handle the Truth! This clip is full of...
