I like virtually everything he’s done (film wise), but The Mummy was a real disappointment (and it shouldn’t have been because it had Russell Crowe in it too (who I also love) - but, there you go

What about Cocktail? Don’t leave it out.

I like most of his stuff. Magnolia the best of the bunch.

mi: fallout - just about a perfect action movie 5/5
going clear - scientology and the prison of belief 4
mi: ghost protocol 4/5
minority report 4
edge of tomorrow - 4
mi: 3 4 - i've only seen 3 mi films, but they've all been pretty great imo.
magnolia - 4 far far far too long. but loaded with great stuff.
war of the worlds - 3.5
vanilla sky - 3.5 - i know it's boring to say 'the foreign language original was better' but it really was so much better.
tropic thunder - 3
collateral - 2

i guess that's all i've seen. for someone who wouldn't call himself a fan or admirer at all, i like a lot of his films quite a bit.

I cannot recommend Mission Impossible Rogue Nation enough to you

I've liked the movie ever since it came out ... but when Mission Impossible fallout came out in 2018, I had the clear opinion that fallout was definitely better and I've had that opinion the last 3 years

but just this month I watched Mission Impossible GP,RN and Fallout and came away kind of blown away by Rogue Nation.

I now feel Rogue Nation is the better overall movie.

But I do feel Fallout has slightly better action and feels more epic

anyways I just want to very much recommend you watching Rogue Nation, in my opinion it's the best of the series and I now have the opinion it's an extremely underrated film

Mine would be pretty similar.

All the Right Moves is one of his better early movies as well.

The lack of Eyes wide shut over here is astonishing.

[–] M1sterDoct0r (3955) 3 years ago

I've never actually watched that film in its entirety. Saw a couple of minutes of it when I was a teen. Didn't care for it

Maybe I should try it again as adult.

[–] StoneKeeper (21700) 3 years ago

You should! I hope you’ll enjoy it. It has quite an atmosphere to it.

[–] beantown23 (1438) 3 years ago

A Few Good Men, The Color of Money, Top Gun
