imo Field of Dreams feels like it's almost "grandpa" tier because of the baseball/Americana vibes; personally i'd nudge it off and round off the list with Shawshank and either Fugitive or Red October.

1. Flaming Hydra has been truly terrific so far
2. "Free With Ads" allowed me to quickly queue up Naked Gun when the urge struck; the opening alone where Nordberg botches the drug boat bust had my 6-yo laughing harder than "Sideshow Bob rake gag", so big thumbs up from me

Growing up SB was the one time a year the parents buckled and permitted fast food into the home... for me the long-gone Bigfoot pizza is forever ingrained as a "Super Bowl food". Any "only ever had it during the Super Bowl" nostalgia foods for you? (Not sure if the chili is SB-only.)

Raiders scoring 63 one week after being shut out... I would have guessed this might've been the biggest-ever week-over-week scoring improvement in NFL history. But no! In 1966 Washington beat the Giants 72-41 a week after losing 14-3 to the Browns.
