Our English @ the Movies phrase is from the movie "Race." This is based on a true story about the life of an African-American athlete Jesse Owens. He competed in the 1936 Olympics in Berlin.  Originally published at - http://learningenglish.voanews.com/a/...

# show off--to behave in a way that is intended to attract attention or admiration, and that other people often find annoying:
She only bought that sports car to show off and prove she could afford one.
He's always showing off to his classmates.
