Lions' Caldwell won't reveal what his favorite movie is
Detroit Lions head coach Jim Caldwell was oddly secretive when asked about his favorite movie at Wednesday's press conference.
"I do, but I care not to share it," Caldwell said, according to Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press. "You might misunderstand and I don't have time to explain."
Naturally, this spawned some hilarious responses on Twitter:
Tell him it's OK, lots of people like "Notting Hill."

In his defense if he admits its the movie,"Eight Men Out" everyone is just going to assume its a new 3rd down defensive strategy. You gotta keep stuff like that close to the vest.

However, as Birkett later discovered, Caldwell has gone on record as saying his favorite movie is "The Magnificent Seven."
OK, I know everyone’s had fun with #JimCaldwellsFavoriteMovie, but thanks to @cmonarrez’s steel trap memory & some intrepid reporting, we’ve tracked down the answer. And I know someone on here got it right https://t.co/mnw48lntBi pic.twitter.com/pcctC449Jc
