“Flash! Flash! I love you! But we only have 14 hours to save the Earth!”

“OPEN FIRE! ALL WEAPONS!”

I would have asked about A River Runs Through It to get the whole Redford experience out of him.

Would it be freaky-deaky if Egon is the spectral villain in this movie?

Totally agree. I saw Jedi on day one at the old Cine Capri in Scottsdale, AZ - the classic one with the Cinemascope screen and balcony seating, not the current one built by Harkins and about as full of character as a piece of white bread - and I walked out of the showing feeling just... empty. I mean, I feel like even…

I was 13, and as I mentioned in another comment, I felt like it was too perfect. Empire had spoiled neat resolutions for me because of how awesome it was that they ended with everyone in such jeopardy and disarray.

It’s hard to describe, really, but from the first the dialogue had this feel of fanservice rather than anything organic. As it went on, it started to feel like someone put a bunch of Big Moment blocks into a Boggle box, shook it up, and then put them in the script (“THERE’S JEDI LUKE! YES!” “THERE’S LANDO!

It just so happened that in Backdraft his character flaws and character acting achieved a weird symbiosis in just the right fashion.

Fire, but no smoke.

Backdraft had three things going for it - Hans Zimmer’s bombastic score, Kurt Russell’s ridiculous chemistry level, and an absolute masterclass by Donald Sutherland, who channeled all of his worst instincts as an actor (of which he has a multitude) into a witch’s brew of insanity that somehow plays exactly right.

Beware of rogue water buffaloes!

A billion Internets for the Fletch callback, and may any of these youngsters who didn’t get it be visited by Dr. Jellyfinger and get it straight up the Fetzer valve.

Any list of Keanu Reeves’ most iconic roles that does not feature Johnathan Salt Lake City Provo Corridor Utah as its undeniable number one is absolutely worthless and should be expelled through a time/space dimensional portal directly to the Poop Planet.

Without any question at all, Das Boot.

I regret that I have but one like to give for this post.

Fun fact: John Williams’ son Joseph is the current lead singer of Toto.

You forgot ALL THE SYNTHETIC FRENCH HORNS

Terrence Howard would have been perfect.
