Personal hell. Its a unique place molded by our own fears and experience. A space where our deepest terrors reside and escape is impossible. Being buried alive is a fairly common personal hell, or being arrested and imprisoned in a foreign country might be another. The press corps traveling on Air Force 2 with vice president Mike Pence found their own horror at 42,000 feet.

Aboard Pence's AF2 to Australia tonight, watching "Hoosiers," at the request of the VP, was pretty unavoidable with the screens overhead. pic.twitter.com/i4i46uyGXE

Trapped on a plane for a flight halfway around the world surrounded by Hoosiers. Its horrible. At this point it has been clearly established that Hoosiers sucks. Its a terrible movie people love because its nostalgic, but its an atrocious piece of cinema. Pence is making everyone endure it with him because hes from Indiana, when he could have just puts on a Parks and Recreation marathon and achieved the whole Im from Indiana thing in a much better way.

At Vice President's request, the press aboard Air Force 2 on way to Australia were required to watch the "greatest sports movie ever made.' https://t.co/JpdoHqTLDi

Required to watch Hoosiers is a simply awful turn of phrase, and its the work equivalent of sitting down with your aunt and seeing her photos from vacation. You cant really escape it, you just have to ensure the Sisyphean torment.

It would be one thing if Pence decided to watch Hoosiers on his own everyone has a right to watch their own trash movies, but hes subjecting it on everyone. This is also when we learned that Air Force 2 is basically a plane from 1993.

What the hell is up with the overhead TVs? I havent seen those in a plane in over a decade. These look like those small portable DVD players that were super popular before tablets. Heck, even United has personal screens in the back over every seat so overbooked passengers dont need to sit through Hoosiers.

Look, I get that Pence wanted to showcase his home state with a 31-year-old movie that nobody loves like Indianans, but think of your guests, man. I personally love watching Terrace House but Im not going to subject every person who comes to my house with it.

There will be a return trip from Australia and Pence has a chance to make this right. Lets assume for a second that Pence wants to stick with the sports movie thing here are five suggestions on much better sports movies than Hoosiers he can show the plane.

Its a simple list because most sports movies are trash and Shes the Man is awesome.
