Combing through the Sunday papers, I see that they have released Over The Top on DVD. I remember this old Stallone movie and I was pretty fond of it when it first came out. I think I still have a VHS copy.
Watching the struggles between a father and son, the son's spoiled attitude and his father's attempts to show him the realities of the real world, and pain of the final match, struck a nerve in me that I could relate to in many ways. Sometimes that's what a movie does to you. It can be a cheesy, half-assed movie, but all it takes is perhaps a few key scenes, a personal connection, and you can very well be in your own world. It is something only you can see.
