Knight and Day with Tom Cruise : very under rated movie a lot never saw this movie

The Saint with Val Kilmer also a great flick

The Replacements with Keanu Reeves

Gosh I think if I recall correctly The Saint was very badly reviewed, is it good?

[โ€“] andrewta@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I've watched it several times (own it on DVD). I love it.

It's really not a great movie but teenage me absolutely loved it. Between Tombstone and The Saint, Val Kilmer could do no wrong in the 90s

Dude, Val Kilmer could do no wrong straight out the gate in the 1980s and kept that winning streak throughout the 90s.

Top Secret!, Real Genius, Top Gun, Willow were all 80's. The Doors, True Romance, Tombstone, Batman Forever, Heat, The Island of Dr. Moreau, The Ghost and the Darkness, and finishing off his hot streak in the 90s with The Saint. Late 90s is where he dropped off in quality throughout the 2000s.

Oh yes this is true. I only specifically mentioned the 90s because those were my coming of age years and I didn't really pay attention to his 80s movies until later.
