I read this beautiful article in Huck this week. If you have a hard time understanding why some people loved and still love ‘Point Break’, Tors Arnold explains it rather well.

As for me, I’ll always keep fond memories of this movie. We were lucky enough to have a VCR recorder back in the days and I managed to catch the movie when it was finally broadcast on TV. I was still in my early teens, there was no school on Wednesday afternoon and our parents were at work/university. As nuts as it may sound my little brother and I watched Point Break every single Wednesday for most of that school year and we didn’t get tired of it.
I remember I had my mind set on becoming Tyler when I’d grow up. Sadly, somewhere along the line I forgot my goals…

On a side note, I would like to add that my bro and I used to follow up with ‘Boyz in the Hood’. Nothing to do with surfing, skateboarding or any boarding for that matter but if you haven’t seen this movie yet, then you should put it on top of your list of films to watch. Please bear in mind this was the 90s and don’t make fun. My brother and I used to sob watching it…

On this nostalgic note I would like to dedicate this post to my little brother Antonio with whom I look forward to a little some movie catch up (promise I won’t try to pedicure you anymore!)
