I watched the Matrix about 200 times when it hit PPV on satellite.

BUT I think I lean towards liking Pulp Fiction more

Follow the Sun..movie about Ben Hogan, a professional golfer, who was badly injured in a wreck. Was told he would never walk much less play golf again. A great inspirational movie of courage and determination.
