- DirectorRenny HarlinStarsGeena DavisSamuel L. JacksonYvonne ZimaSamantha Caine lives in a small town with her daughter. Eight years ago she emerged, two months pregnant, from a nearby river with no memory of her past or who she is. However, she's getting closer to finding out about her past.I was very impressed with the acting from Geena Davis and Samuel L. Jackson. Intense til the very end.
- DirectorJan de BontStarsKeanu ReevesDennis HopperSandra BullockA young police officer must prevent a bomb exploding aboard a city bus by keeping its speed above 50 mph.This movie had my adrenaline pumping every minute! Non-stop intensity!^^
- DirectorJoseph RubenStarsJulia RobertsPatrick BerginKevin AndersonA young woman fakes her own death in an attempt to escape her nightmarish marriage, but discovers it is impossible to elude her controlling husband.Julia Roberts did an amazing job in this film.
- DirectorLuis MandokiStarsKevin BaconCharlize TheronCourtney LoveThe Jennings' fight for their daughters life after she is kidnapped by an experienced gang of thieves.Kevin Bacon is a great actor. However my respect for his work increased when I saw him in this movie. Great storyline as well.
- DirectorMick JacksonStarsKevin CostnerWhitney HoustonGary KempA former Secret Service agent takes on the job of bodyguard to an R&B singer, whose lifestyle is most unlike a President's.I always enjoy watching this movie. I never get tired of watching this movie.
- DirectorJames FoleyStarsMark WahlbergReese WitherspoonWilliam PetersenWhen Nicole met handsome, charming, affectionate David, he was everything. It seemed perfect, but soon she sees that David has a darker side. And his adoration turns to obsession, their dream into a nightmare, and her love into fear.Great plot. Mark Wahlberg did an awesome job at playing every father's worst nightmare.
- DirectorGeorge P. CosmatosStarsSylvester StalloneBrigitte NielsenReni SantoniA tough-on-crime street cop must protect the only surviving witness to a strange murderous cult with far-reaching plans.First he was the boxer, then he was the green beret, and now he's a cop. Great plot good choice of actor. Sylvester Stallone makes cops look badass.
- DirectorRowdy HerringtonStarsPatrick SwayzeKelly LynchSam ElliottA bouncer hired to clean up the baddest honkytonk in a Missouri town. Armed with a black belt in karate and a degree in philosophy, Patrick Swayze sets out to tame the Double Deuce for its owner.In my history of movies I have never really seen one that focuses on the bouncer. And Patrick Swayze playing one makes it all worth seeing it.
- DirectorJohn McNaughtonStarsKevin BaconNeve CampbellMatt DillonA police detective uncovers a conspiracy behind a case involving a high-school guidance counselor when accusations of rape are made against him by two female students.I love the way that this movie has a lot of surpises and secrets. It always saves the best for last. All the characters are connected in some way.
- DirectorMartin ScorseseStarsRobert De NiroNick NolteJessica LangeA convicted rapist, released from prison after serving a fourteen-year sentence, stalks the family of the lawyer who originally defended him.I don't think I've seen Robert De Niro as a SERIOUS bad guy. after seeing this I'm not gonna be able to watch another movie when he's already played a psychopath. I guess it just shows how good of an he is.
- DirectorAdrian LyneStarsMichael DouglasGlenn CloseAnne ArcherA married man's one-night stand comes back to haunt him when that lover begins to stalk him and his family.First thriller I ever saw. I think I can imagine Bill Clinton afraid of this movie.
- DirectorChristopher NolanStarsAl PacinoRobin WilliamsHilary SwankTwo Los Angeles homicide detectives are dispatched to a northern town where the sun doesn't set to investigate the methodical murder of a local teen.This movie I thought would be weird, but after seeing the whole thing It made me want to see more Al Pacino movies ^^. For a fun fact, Al Pacino actually suffers from Insomnia. He didn't have to reseach for his character at all.
- DirectorJoel SchumacherStarsMatthew McConaugheySandra BullockSamuel L. JacksonIn Canton, Mississippi, a fearless young lawyer and his assistant defend a black man accused of murdering two white men who raped his ten-year-old daughter, inciting violent retribution and revenge from the Ku Klux Klan.It's such a good thriller. It really empasizes on a father's love for his children and what he will do when something happens to his child. But especially on the lawyer's part too. His defense speech really touched me. I could watch it for hours.
- DirectorBruce A. EvansStarsKevin CostnerDemi MooreWilliam HurtA well-respected businessman is sometimes controlled by his murder and mayhem-loving alter ego.It's hard to call what kind of part Kevin Costner plays. Good guy or Bad buy? The Inbetween guy? It's a different kind of psycological thiller that I think everyone should see.
- DirectorDon SiegelClint EastwoodStarsClint EastwoodAndrew RobinsonHarry GuardinoWhen a man calling himself "the Scorpio Killer" menaces San Francisco, tough-as-nails Police Inspector "Dirty" Harry Callahan is assigned to track down the crazed psychopath."Do you feel lucky? punk!" God, I love that line. Clint made cops look awesome for the beginning of the 70s. Made me wish I born that long ago to see it at the theaters and how popular it was too.
- DirectorJerry ZuckerStarsPatrick SwayzeDemi MooreWhoopi GoldbergAfter a young man is murdered, his spirit stays behind to warn his lover of impending danger, with the help of a reluctant psychic.A beautiful tale of romance and tragedy. Such a good pair too, having Swayze and Moore together. I don't think they could've found a better match then them.
- DirectorBarbet SchroederStarsMichael KeatonAndy GarciaBrian CoxFrank Conner is an honest police officer who desperately needs to save his son's life. However, after losing all hope, he finds out that a criminal Peter McCabe in jail is his only savior.Nothing like a good persuit movie along with the strive for a son's life in the process. A serious underestimated movie that needs some attention.
- DirectorTony ScottStarsTom CruiseTim RobbinsKelly McGillisAs students at the United States Navy's elite fighter weapons school compete to be best in the class, one daring young pilot learns a few things from a civilian instructor that are not taught in the classroom.This movie had so much style and action. Finding out about the other actors/actresses who almost got the role of the certain characters just astonishes me.
- DirectorStuart BairdStarsTommy Lee JonesWesley SnipesRobert Downey Jr.U.S. Marshal Samuel Gerard and his team of Marshals are assigned to track down Sheridan, who has been accused of a double-murder.This movie was hilarious as it was thrilling. A great sequal and storyline^^
- DirectorJon AmielStarsSigourney WeaverHolly HunterDermot MulroneyAn agoraphobic psychologist and a female detective must work together to take down a serial killer who copies serial killers from the past.Above all the other types of serial killer movies. This one was particularly interesting because of the fact that producers and directors spend so much time inventing murder methods for serial killer characters that in this one it represents all of the real life serial killers. It was kind of like a mega-biography. Also can't beat the acting of Hunter and Weaver together.
- DirectorTony ScottStarsRobert RedfordBrad PittCatherine McCormackRetiring CIA agent Nathan Muir recalls his training of Tom Bishop while working against agency politics to free him from his Chinese captors.Having two great actors together in the same movie shows great casting in the director's choices. I've never seen a CIA based movie quite like this until I saw it.
- DirectorFrank DarabontStarsTim RobbinsMorgan FreemanBob GuntonOver the course of several years, two convicts form a friendship, seeking consolation and, eventually, redemption through basic compassion.You haven't really seen movies yet until you've seen this one. This one conquers all!
- DirectorBrad SilberlingStarsNicolas CageMeg RyanAndre BraugherAn angel on Earth, a doctor unable to believe, a patient with a secret, a love story made in Heaven.I never imagined Nicolas Cage playing an angel until I saw this film. I believe that this has to be his best work ever.
- DirectorAdrian LyneStarsJennifer BealsMichael NouriLilia SkalaAn 18-year-old female amateur dancer who performs nightly at a dancing bar, and works as a welder during the day, dreams of joining the Pittsburgh ballet school.This movie makes believe I can do almost anything.
- DirectorRob ReinerStarsTom CruiseJack NicholsonDemi MooreMilitary lawyer Lieutenant Daniel Kaffee defends Marines accused of murder. They contend they were acting under orders.Classic movie. Pursuing the truth never looked so awesome.
