My dad loves this movie. He’s watched it too many times to count and I’ve probably seen it like 5. I can’t say it’s in my personal top ten (Honestly, i don’t know what would be) but it’s a decent film.

Only 100 times? AND YOU CALL YOURSELF A FAN.

Alec Baldwin is underrepresented in the original art.

I saw this in the theatre, this and ninja turtles played that night. It cost 4.90 for the 2 movies and 4.90 for a big ass popcorn and pop.

I mean, it could be 200. It's not like I'm counting.

This and the Blues Brothers top my list.

Nothing beats the Blues Brothers. But the H unt for R ed October is pretty great.

Do you really think some random Baldwin brother is even worth mentioning when compared to S ean C onnery?

It’s fine, but top 10 of all time? No. It wasn’t even the best movie of 1990. That would be Joe vs The Volcano.

I can’t believe you trolled him with Joe vs. the Volcano and it worked. He must not have been paying attention.

My brother was just interviewed by our local NPR affiliate, and I was reaaaaalllllyyy hoping he was going to drop a Schweddy reference. I guess that’s frowned upon when you have a big boy job.

Good times.

This is spot on, but I have to take issue with Corvette Summer .

Mark Hamels finest movie.

Excuse me? Joe vs The Volcano is brilliant. It is both extremely dark and extremely silly. Besides, that mullet that Tom Hanks has at the beginning is spectacular.

I’m sorry, I can’t hear you through my brain cloud.

The star of the  whole movie was that luggage trunk.  I still want one.

lone_liberal > Chariotoflove 08/28/2018 at 00:31

True. The trunks are #1 Ossie Davis is #2 and Abe Vigoda is #3.

One of those movies that always stops my channel surfing. I can start watching it at any point.

Chariotoflove > lone_liberal 08/28/2018 at 00:39

And it takes a lot to upstage Abe Vigoda.  He’s a national treasure.

I think the first scene is a Range Rover at JFK?

I loved it because of that.

I watched WWZ in its entirety while sitting on a tarmac in Frankfurt. My flight ended up being cancelled and I had to sleep in a shitty German motel that night. I was able to sweet talk the Lufthansa employee into getting me a flight to Houston the next day , where I rented a car and drove back to Phoenix.

This was all accomplished with an eight month- old and a two year-old in tow who’d been backpacking through Europe for a month. They kept it together until we hit Tucson, where they got their first an d only taste of McDonalds ice cream.

I think I’ve finally processed this experience and am ready to watch WWZ again.

I'll give you one ping only.

So a 7 month kid went backpacking through Europe for a month and the relative civility of an airport failed to harsh their mellow? I mean you sound like pretty solid parents throughout until this apparent dysfunction of WWZ.

I don’t really pay Hollywood much attention.

By far the best movie starring a Russian submariner with a Scottish brogue.

“Ryan, some things in here don’t react well to bullets.”

I think it was the two hour wait standing in line for Customs followed by the 17 hour drive to Phoenix that finally did them in.

one of the movies I watch every time it’s on...Shotime is running it a bit now. They had it, Crimson Tide and K-19 Widowmaker on in a row the other night. Might have just thrown Das Boot and U-571 in there!

Connery’s Russian accent was laughable though!

Favorite of mine also, I just scored it on laserdisc for $2 because why not.

What did you stop off for brontosaurus burgers or stub your toe?  17 hours is a considerable amount of time considering the distance and terrain.

Texas is a considerably large state. It’s 1,200 miles from Houston to Phoenix and cops in New Mexico are dicks. Averaging 70 mph for 1,200 miles is making pretty good time when traveling with two little girls.

Reading fail, I only scrolled back up as far as Tuscon to Phoenix.
