Old School Mondays

First I'd like to say to all Happy First Monday of the new year!!!!!! Yeah I know after some time off dragging ones ass back to work isn't always fun especially when you realize not much has changed around you. All I can say is, one step at a time. As far as change, a steady and healthy growth is better than a rapid and traumatic flip of the script. This segment of OSM is all about movies. Videos and Music is great to share but there are certain movies that hit right to home. Come to think about it there are so many good movies that we grew up on that literally changed the game. These are just a few to get you going.

I wasn't able to find the trailer for "Better Off Dead" but I
got a classic scene aside from "I Want my 2 dollars".
