I thought Ronin was alright. I think Tax Cab was also good, too! I didn't start watching any of Robert Deniro movies until later in 2000's. That was when Casino came out (2009?)...My favorite DeNiro flick was 'Ronin'...but honestly he's hard to watch now...politics and all.
+1Yes, the late Sean Connery! He was brilliant!"The Hunt for Red October was actually pretty good IMO.
Even in bad movies he was still worth watching.
The only Connery movie I didn't like that I can remember was 'The Great Train Robbery'...
... Connery made not-so-good movies like 'League of Extraordinary Gentleman' palatable.
If you want to see an obscure Connery sci-fi flick...Try 'Outland'...
Have you seen 'Unforgiven'?Clint is a far better director! The Outlaw Josey Wails my favorite movie he acted in.I am huge fan of Clint Eastwood...Clint Eastwood.Name any movie and it's a huge hit (to me, at least).
From Western to Action!
Have you seen 'Unforgiven'?
I'll watch an Eastwood western at the drop of a hat. 'Foxfire', 'The Eiger Sanction', 'In the Line of Fire'...I'll watch them all.
I think he did a movie called 'Blood Works' of something that was so-so...and I skipped 'Bridges of Madison County'...but aside from that...one of the best all time actors.
Honestly...you're not missing much...Since then, I've lost touch of the movie scene. I don't really know what's good and what's not
That's a good one. Gene Hackman?I just started rewatching The French Connection.
I didn't watch the Dirty Harry movies...or the similar Charles Bronson series whose name I don't recall. Not my cup of tea.I am more of a Dirty Harry.
Red October was good because they didn't build the story around a big name actor, they kept fairly close to the book. Of course Red October was an unusual Clancy book because it only had one plot line. Most Clancy novels had multiple plotlines which made them hard to turn into movies.Exactly how I felt about 'Patriot Games' and 'Clear and Present Danger"...but "The Hunt for Red October was actually pretty good IMO.The Da Vinci Code
Never saw it, but I love Dan Brown. Read all of his books.
If you like the books, skip the movies.
I started both with books...before the movies ever came out.
Tom Hanks is Robert Langdon like Tom Cruise is Jack Reacher. Which is to say, he's not.
Not to mention the fact that they butchered the books...
The last time I went to an actual movie theater to see a really good movie, was back in early 1990's. I saw The Godfather III. It was alright. But I thought The Godfather II was much better.

I'm pretty sure you'll be surprised when 'Casino' was released.I thought Ronin was alright. I think Tax Cab was also good, too!

That was when Casino came out (2009?)...My favorite DeNiro flick was 'Ronin'...but honestly he's hard to watch now...politics and all.
Then he did a few movies with Al Pachino...including The Godfather sage and others late in 2000's.
If I remember correctly I rented it on VHS...

Nah...got rid of them when we moved to the new house. That was 10 years ago.If I remember correctly I rented it on VHS...
Sheesh, you still have VHS? Lol
I still have cassettes and 8-track tapes. Nothing special...oh, I even still have some vinyl records, too! Including Led Zepplin and Beatles.
Yes, the late Sean Connery! He was brilliant!"The Hunt for Red October was actually pretty good IMO.
Hunt for Red October contained some of the worst Boston accent ever filmed.
I liked Unforgiven, didn't love it.....Outlaw Jose Wales is better.Have you seen 'Unforgiven'?Clint is a far better director! The Outlaw Josey Wails my favorite movie he acted in.I am huge fan of Clint Eastwood...Clint Eastwood.

I should have learned my lesson after Clive Cussler's Raise the Titanic movie-ization debacle. Guess I'm a glutton for punishment...
