Following my recent purchase of the special issue of Trainers magazine "The 100 Greatest Trainer Movies", we were discussing what the best boot movies might be. What makes a film a "boot movie" is fairly loose criteria - so Das Boot would count, and Kinky Boots.
I think we should rule out wellington films though, as they are a genre unto themselves (with all the claustrophobia and isolation and whatnot)

TV series rather than movie, but Doc Marten seems popular

James Cameron has a boot fetish, ever noticed that nearly all his films include a slightly slow-motion ground-level shot of some heavy black leather boots?

Tommy (Elton John's crazy Pinball Wizard giant boots)
Toy Story
"there's a snake in mah boot!"

Once Upon A Time in the West (Cheyenne disguising his gun in a boot)
Tango and Cash (similar trick)
Gunfight at the OK Corral (Earp warns Holliday that some bad guy has a little gun hidden in his boot)

Actually we could have a "Best Gun-in-Boot Movie" thread at this rate!

I'm just waiting for someone to cotton onto the lack of boot content in Das Boot

I read somewhere that one time that Radio Times showed "Das Boot", which in the 80s usually had its title translated to "The Boat", they (in a forward-thinking effort to be PC) tried to list it under its original title, but screwed up and it was "The Boot"

Recent disappointing film "Up in the Air" was all about George Clooney giving people the boot!
