I was walking through walmart yesterday, trying to keep my composure and at the same time, keep people from getting in my way. So i figured that if I looked a little crazy that I might get through the maze and insanity more unscathed. I hate walmart, and mostly refuse to set foot in there.

Anyways, my walk kinda reminded me of something funny. It was just like Edward Norton in fight club after he beats himself up in his bosses office, then he is seen going down the hall with a cart full of his stuff. he is banged up and bloody, but looks happy and content, and even has a little hop in his step.

It got me thinking about scenes like when Tom Cruise runs down the street in the Firm (he looked reaally fast there). Of course, Travolta and Saturday Night Fever...what are some other memorable walks, struts, or runs in movies???

    That is one of my favorite movie scenes, ever. I particularly like the way he grabs himself by the shirt and tosses himself around the room.

    Reservoir Dogs as mentioned several times already. Along with Dazed and Confused, Fear and Loathing.

    And I'd like to add Tombstone, the walk to the OK Corrall.
