Travolta was really good in the movie where Halle Berry was naked. I don't remember the name of it, or the plot or anything. In fact, come to think of it, I don't remember if he was good in it or not.

Not even a naked Halle Berry could save that horrible movie.

No I haven't seen this one. Sounds like it's about ice hockey. Is it worthwhile viewing? Sometimes struggle to take Travolta seriously......, I just always see him singing Summer Nights.

What do you think of Vinny. Classic stuff!

I like a lot of Travolta's on-screen work.

I enjoyed GET SHORTY and then BE COOL.

I found them funny enough.

As for his better work, I liked him in Pulp Fiction best.

This exchange between VINCENT VEGA and BUTCH COOLIDGE was real good:

(While Butch waits for his smokes at the bar counter, Vincent just sips his coffee, staring at him. Butch looks over at him)

Butch (Bruce Willis): Lookin' at somethin', friend?

Vincent (Travolta): I ain't your friend, palooka.

(Butch does a slow burn toward Vincent)

Butch: What was that?

Vincent: I think ya heard me just fine, punchy.

****Quick scene but funny as hell to me.

Macho Man Randy Savage influenced how the tigers minor leaguers get their batting coaching.

http://espn.go.com/espn/page2/index?id=6571831

"Herndon said Poffo used to swing a bat into a hanging car tire as a regular training exercise in order to strengthen his hands and make sure he utilized his legs during swings. The technique was so effective that Herndon adopted it from Poffo and still uses it with his Lakeland players to this day."

Faceoff was not a good movie IMO.

I vaguely remember Randy's dad Angelo Poffo wrestling in the Detroit area, and wonder whether Randy got his patented "oooh, yeeaahhh" from another wrestler. At that time there was a guy who wrestled under the moniker of Pampero Firpo, billed as coming from South America, and he used to do that "oooh, yeaahhhh," all the time. Randy would have been a teenager at the time.
