ConAir was an amazing piece of film. Aside from having incredible star power in Dave Chapelle, John Cussack, and John Malkovich, Nicholas Cage's performance as the Ex-Con with a heart of gold proves once again that he is one of the world's greatest actors.
The story was alternatingly hard-boiled and heartwarming. I almost teared up when he staggered off the wingless plane, bullet wound in his arm, and his prison undershirt stained with smoke and sweat, and he handed little Cassey that bunny. The daughter he never knew, and he fought a plane full of convicts, murderers, and villains to make it to her birthday on time. Someone get the man a "World's Best Dad" mug right now!

Tell me, did you ever beat that damn game? Me and my family never did.
I got to the second or third level... where you get the shape-changing rings, and are caught in the war between the orc/troll things and the goat/goblin things, but that's it. Damned unforgiving game... so many ways to die, and lose all of your progress!
For those of you who don't know it, I found a Lets Play archive.... granted I've not had a chance to check if they're particularly awesome:
