Our 12 year old Grandson spent the night with us last night. I put on "Real Steel" on Netflix to entertain him before bedtime. It is a fantasy revolving around eight foot tall robotic boxers, and stars Hugh Jackman, (Wolverine). Despite the the fact that Jackman's character is initially morally repugnant, I found the movie only 1/10 as corny as I expected, and actually emotionally involving. One of the stars of the show is this old 1960 cab over "Sightliner" International truck. ![[Linked Image from img.truckersnews.com]](https://img.truckersnews.com/files/base/randallreilly/all/image/2016/09/tn.sightliner.png)

If you want to see a real sleeper of a movie take a gander at 'Secondhand Lions'.
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

If you want to see a real sleeper of a movie take a gander at 'Secondhand Lions'. 100% agree! One of my favs.... Then again pretty much any movie with Robert Duvall is usually great. I watched a good one the other night called "The Hill" with Dennis Quaid. Definitely a good family movie! I'll have to check out "Real Steel"

It was very touching. Reminded me a kot of "Burlsworth".

Real Steel is an awesome movie.
Secondhand Lions was good too, as mentioned.

That “Sightliner” is way cool. Looks like they set a pick up cab up there.
