Marian Schedenig 8,206 Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 As good as T2 is, I think there are some feminist undertones in it.So?Well, probably the most obvious one being Hamilton's speech to the guy from Cyberdyne. Regardless, I think Die Hard is more of a Man's movie.Oh, you mean because I asked for a Men's Movie.Still, it means that perhaps T2 has at least one merit. Which brings up another point though: Could Thelma and Louise be seen as a Men's Movie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romão 2,274 Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Heat is the best film on that list, IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Also, one of the best villains of the nineties.And Die Hard has one of the best villians of the 80's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No TV is big enough to truly show off Die Hard. It belongs on the big screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Yes, did you know it was shot by the famous Dutch cinematographer Jan de Bont?He later directed Speed, Speed II and The Haunting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course I did. He later worked with McTiernan again on The Hunt for Red October, another fine-looking film.I love the use of lens flares in Die Hard too.

Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted December 12, 2008 Author Share Posted December 12, 2008 That they do.The man was an excellent cinematographer.Too bad he abandoned it for directing. Speed was excellent for what it was, but he never really did anything great after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Skywalker 1,795 Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 But i find it to be a very forgettable film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Isn't Jan supposed to be making some kind of comeback? I'm sure he's making some kind of Shark attack movie, could be wrong though, I may have dreamt it.I agree with you guys though that his photography was brilliant. I love the look of the movies in that era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 1,059 Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 He was attached to MEG but that film has been in limbo hell for awhile.I think he withdrew from the project, it's almost similar to what happened with Godzilla before D&E got a hold of it.

Morlock 11 Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 I love Speed, but his talents as a DP seem to be far superior to his talents as director (I can't accurately judge- I've only seen his first three films). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
