Old Bruce did make some good movies back in the day.

The Die Hard series
The Last Boy Scout was seriously under rated
5th Element was great
Sin City was a SFU movie but I loved it and he was great in it.
Pulp Fiction

But the fact is, he's been doing straight to video shite for mostly 10 years. RED was quite good but it's the exception.

Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

That’s very well put. One I haven’t seen I’ll look for it cheers

My eldest actually rang me this morning and said I’m so sorry ….
Funny the kid I thought was less empathetic was the only one who got it!!

Yes that statement is exactly how I feel

Heartbreak and yes for someone I’ll never meet! I’ve watch 2 people lose their minds to dementia, it’s so damn cruel

Cheers

Love ya Bruce xx



edit, i remember seeing this and its always stuck in my mind, hes not his usual gorgeous self, hes just an old man, a drunkard cop, (so yeah die hard without the shaved head and goofy grins!!) i love this one

I really enjoyed Pulp Fiction, 12 Monkeys, 5th Element, the first Die Hard, and the one where he plays a dead guy.

The Running Man (1987)
The film was mentioned at work, so I watched it after many years. It's made in '87, but set in 2017.

Big (1988)
Another mentioned at work. Loved this as a kid. Watching this now, you cant help but notice the lack of police involvement into a childs disappearance. I guess you're not supposed to think of that as an 80's family fun film.

But here's the funny thing. I SWEAR the ending was different to how I remember it. I was sure Hank's love interest showed up at the end, but as a 13 year old girl.... instead he's shown walking down the street with his pal when the credits roll. Am I insane?

William Dafoe as the Green Goblin was the star of the film.

Blew it away as he did 20 years earlier.
