As a special exclusive to thepatsblog, Pats inside linebacker Tedy Bruschi shares some of his favorite movies

• Beaches – What can I say? Tom is the wind beneath our wings . . .
• The Care Bear Movie – See, they’re BEARS! But they care, too.
• Steel Magnolias – See, they’re MAGNOLIAS! But they are steel, too (like a man’s supposed to be). No, seriously, on a Monday after a loss, I like to pop this into the DVD player and watch it so I’ll be all misty when I show up for practice and coach won’t think I didn’t care and then threaten to make me run until my left arm goes numb and everything goes all sparkly again.
• Top Gun – I can watch that volleyball scene all day long! Those guys are so . . . intense.

(Goose and Mav are excited to make Tedy’s list)

• The Comeback Kid – Not only did it have Kim “Tootie” Fields, Susan Dey (Laurie Partridge), Patrick Swayze AND John Ritter, but it also had Michael Lembeck. Michael Lembeck! You know, Landon Tarmac from “The Famous Teddy Z” — and how many movies with a main character named Teddy can you find? Exactly.
• The Birdcage – Men in dresses — come on, that’s funny stuff. And a nicely nuanced performance by Nathan Lane. Not that there’s anything wrong with it.
• Gus – Still one of the finest sports documentaries about football ever made.
• The Water Boy – People often say that I remind them of Bobby Boucher, except I’m not quite as erudite, whatever that means. We both love our mamas, though.
