Favorite Tom Clancy movie

ThomasFremont

The book talk got me thinking, what’s your favorite? I’m only doing ones based on actual novels, so sorry to all the Chris Pine/Shadow Recruit fans out there.

The Hunt for Red October

Your pole is soft and easy. Not super hard like my Coen bros pole.

The Hunt for Red October

Quite easily. Patriot Games was solid, Clear & Present decent. Sum was a PC sell out shitshow

I expect a certain winner, but there’s only one wrong choice...

The Hunt for Red October

Look, Red October is gonna win in a landslide and we all know it. The submarine movie is such a strong genre it’s almost unfair to the rest. Add in Sean Connery and I don’t even care if Alex Baldwin kinda sucks.

BUT...Patriot Games is fucking excellent. A dive into international terrorism before we? Americans really cared. The spycraft elements are fun. And the exploration of fringe rebel groups should appeal to the crowd here. Also the church says wearing a rubber is a sin.

I probably watched Clear and Present Danger 100x on VHS growing up. It’s the only movie with Clark (fuck that Ben Aflec POS version, doesn’t count) so we get a dive into covert special ops, the failed drug war, cocaine, and probably one of the coolest shootout car action scenes ever (RIP white Suburbans). We also get Chavez, a pure fucking bad ass.

I’d rewatch all 3 to this day.

Patriot Games is damn good. While I felt Harrison Ford was too old to play Jack Ryan, he did a stellar job.

And his Clear and Present Danger stuff contributed largely to this funny supercut:

Bingo. I’d love Harry Ford but that was the wrong casting. Dafoe as John Clark was worse but whatever.

I’ve been known to wave a paper, hamburger, beer, whatever in front of someone’s face and ask, “You don’t have one of these, do you, Jack?” I even once whilst corching youth football and watching film slurped from a cup and softly said, “That is a kill,” gesturing at the screen during a big hit. One other guy got it. It was a big moment for me.

Still, “one ping only” is the shit. And “Shum shings in this ruom don’t react well to boolletts.”

Thanks Freemie now you got me pissed. Sum of all Fears was a fantastic book. Maybe too intricate for s movie. Regardless It deserved far far better than that steaming pile they turned out. White supremasists ... Chinexcusable.

I watched Enemy of the State again the other day - 1998 movie. Its interesting going back to 90's movies and seeing the surveillance state and anti terror in a pre 9-11 lens. The gubmint has been playing us for a long time

Gene Hackman character talked about the telecom giants selling out to the Feds in the 40's

Good call. I've always been hoping for the hot Ed & Mary Pat sex scene.
