    I have never seen Point Break but have wanted to make a sock puppet show of Roadhouse! Let me know when you've written it!

    Thanks for the friending! I think I saw Point Break once. Isn't that the movie where a lovable military death bot is struck by lightening and, running away from the army, helps a young devorcee pick up the pieces of her shattered dreams with hilarious results...?

    Just one of the reasons wikipedia is wonderful:

    Patrick Swayze is Bodhi, the charismatic leader of a gang of surfing bank robbers who steal in order to fund surfing lifestyles and skydiving expeditions and as a form of rebellion against a social system that they believe "kills the human spirit." Reeves plays FBI agent, and former Ohio Statefootball quarterback, Johnny Utah, who goes undercover in the hope of finding and infiltrating the gang and finds himself increasingly attracted to their adrenaline-charged lifestyle. Bodhi and Utah develop a strong friendship that is doomed from the beginning by this state of affairs, although Bodhi doesn't find out that Johnny is an FBI agent until later in the film.

    The bank robbers are known as the Ex-Presidents, because they hide their faces behind masks of former US presidents. By the end of the movie, Johnny is so absorbed by this lifestyle that he refuses to arrest Bodhi and instead lets him seek his own death surfing the giant waves of Bells Beach
