First time I watched 8 Mile was a while ago. I couldn't see the movie in the theatre since I couldn't get in but I rented the movie the first day it came out as a dvd. I thought the movie was really good but I didn't buy it since I wasn't really into "watching movies" Well I loved to watch movies but I was into sports and video games that I thought I'd rather spend my time on playing video games or playing sports than watching movies for 2 or 3 hours.

However, I couldn't get into the soccer team for my high school and I stopped playing sports (well besides Tennis) which led to me watching movies pretty much every weekend (I get nervous when I watch movies on school days). Anyway, I was watching Much Music today and they were doing the spotlight on Eminem and they were talking about 8 Mile and the hit soundtrack "Lose Yourself". I realized I haven't seen that movie for a while and I might want to check it out. I went to the local DVD rent place and rented the movie. I've watched twice and I think I will watch it again tomorrow. I mean this isn't the "BEST" movie ever but it surely is one of the greatest. I don't care what everyone says about this movie. What I care is that I love this movie.
