To head-off a lot of email, let me just tell you the results from our poll from the
Spring of 1999: They were:
In the Heat of the Night (129) 9%
Raging Bull (156) 11%
The Rocky Movies (233) 17%
The Bridge on the River Kwai (409) 29%
Cool Hand Luke (474) 34%
This was whittled down from a very long list of movies I don’t have time to reconstruct. Also, to head-off even more email, I am very aware that Cool Hand Luke was the answer to the same question from the TV show Cheers.
