Then there's the fantastic Cool Runnings. I really need that on Blu.

You've got to be shittin' me. It's not available on blu.

Cool Runnings. John Candy showing a serious side to acting with no comedy

Derice Bannock : Hey, Coach.
Irv : Yeah?
Derice Bannock : I have to ask you a question.
Irv : Sure.
Derice Bannock : But you don't have to answer if you don't want to. I mean, I want you to, but if you can't, I understand.
Irv : You wanna know why I cheated, right?
Derice Bannock : Yes, I do.
Irv : That's a fair question. It's quite simple, really. I had to win. You see, Derice, I'd made winning my whole life. And when you make winning your whole life, you have to keep on winning, no matter what. You understand that?
Derice Bannock : No, I don't understand. You won two gold medals. You had it all.
Irv : Derice, a gold medal is a wonderful thing. But if you're not enough without one, you'll never be enough with one.
Derice Bannock : Hey, coach... how will I know if I'm enough?
Irv : When you cross that finish line tomorrow, you'll know.

Seriously that's a bit...what you said, Don't know if it was the film or somebody cutting up a onion next to me but I had tears in my eyes at the end of the film.

See No Evil, Hear No Evil.

(After driving the police car onto a barge full of rubbish)
Wally : Where are we?
Dave : Probably on our way to New Jersey by now.
Wally : No kidding! I got family in there! Do you wanna come with me?
Dave : Of course. You've earned my trust, Wally. You've been a very good friend to me these past couple days. You're always there for me. You never get me into trouble. Sometimes it seems a bit boring but that's a small price to pay for such a wonderful friendship.
Wally : That's beautiful, Dave. Do you mean everything you just said?
Dave : I'll tell you how I really feel in about a minute or two. Right now I'm a little overwhelmed by the STINK of the seven tons of garbage that you drove us into!
Wally : Is THAT what it is? I thought you let one go! That's why I didn't say anything!
Dave : That's very kind of you! Thank you!
