Forget Jack Reacher, after the Usual Suspects McQuarrie wrote and directed The Way of the Gun, one of the best crime and action movies out there. A modern (well, 2000 modern), amoral version of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, with shootouts choreographed by McQuarrie’s ex-SEAL brother.

Edge of Tomorrow was one of 2014’s best films, and no one saw it.

For me, MI:3 is the one to beat. It’s a tense spy thriller, with a strong plot, a great villain (RIP Philip Seymour Hoffman, you were awesome in this franchise), and one of the most intense scenes in film (the opening). Ghost Protocol was fun, but yeah, cartoony. The plot was too weak and bare bones for me. I mean,

Without too many spoilers, how are the gunfights in the film? Odd question, but McQuarrie made one of cinema’s best in The Way of the Gun (a film so good that he will always be a great director in my book), so i’m curious how these stack up.

No man, he’ll always be T-Bird from The Crow to me. “We put you through the window! There ain’t no coming back from that. There ain’t no coming back...”

Didn’t that also happen with Elysium? Eminem was in the running for the lead, but Blomkamp wanting to set it in LA and not Detroit caused him to drop out?

Now playing

Enter the Ninja has the greatest death scene ever on film.

To be fair, every Parker adaptation has been a bad Parker adaptation. Point Blank at least had such a brilliant style and Lee Marvin’s intensity that it worked. The nightclub fight alone is still hard to watch. The groin punch at the end is brutal.

Too bad he’s not playing his “**** it, this is annoying” bad guy from Shoot ‘em Up. That would be awesome.

I think I saw one weird face mask that might have been Reagan, but doubt it.

Terrible knockoff of a classic. Fast 6 was fun, but the first one? Bad.

I’m not even a Clinton or Danaerys fan (go Sanders and Jon Snow!), but I loved that joke.

Even now he’d be the perfect Alan Scott Green Lantern.

The British Death at a Funeral is the funniest film ever made. The remake....ugh. Dinklage rocks though.

“I look Carcetti in the eye and asked if he was for real.”

Played opposite Shia Lebeouf (who was pretty good in the film in his own right) in The Greatest Game Ever Played. Brought real gravitas to it. #TeamStannis #Stannisthemannis

This man has been a Russian president, Irish priest, English romantic lead, Roman consul, Texan father, and more. He is the best.

Lets not forget he was the best cinematic Hamlet of all time, in Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead.

He was Dracula?! As a Penny Dreadful fanboy, I must see this.

Alfred Pennyworth?
