This was always my second favorite Denzel movie after remember the titans. Denzel is clearly the greatest actor of all-time. Great reaction as always.

2024-06-29 12:20:01 +0000 UTCOne thing that always bothered me (not specifically this movie but lot of movies) female is involved in dire situation and there is danger...so when chance she gets, even though still in danger, she changes into a DRESS?!

2024-06-24 14:24:01 +0000 UTCThis is the movie I came here to recommend now that I've finished the video. I love Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, and I agree that it is one of Kilmer's best performances. I feel that Spartan, released around the same time, deserves almost as much recognition. Also -- and this is *very* different from Spartan -- if you want to see Val like you've never seen him before, check out MacGruber (2010).

2024-06-24 05:40:36 +0000 UTCWould be great if you watched both the original Manchurian Candidate (1962) and the Denzel remake (2004). Maybe you could come up with a month of original/remake pairings. The Thomas Crown Affair (1968)/(1999) also comes to mind. In addition, you could check out some originals where you've already seen the remake or original, like The Thing From Another World (1951), Ocean's Eleven (1960), Dune (1984), and Road House (2024).

2024-06-24 05:39:28 +0000 UTCFallen is great, and it was directed by the always underrated Gregory Hoblit who did Primal Fear!

2024-06-23 02:09:32 +0000 UTCLet me also recommend Denzel's Fallen, a great movie that sadly gets no reactions, yes most likely because no one has heard of it. Another great Denzel / Tony Scott pairing is Unstoppable also starring Chris Pine.

2024-06-22 23:03:09 +0000 UTCHey, this Deja Vu contraption is actually a thing. SBIRS system, basically real time google earth with extreme magnification. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDTnl4E9FiY
Alex
2024-06-22 22:20:36 +0000 UTCPerfect choices. John Q for the next "popcorn" Denzel, The Hurricane for the next "heavy" Denzel.

2024-06-22 07:55:35 +0000 UTCThis was one of my favourite ever reactions. Trippy mindf*cks are by far the best subgenre for reactions. Watching you try to work out a messy, trippy mystery is such great fun. I would love, LOVE, to see you react to Triangle (2009). It's a very different story (a horror mystery), but it shares a couple of ideas with Deja Vu. It won't win a poll, but the next time you're in the mood for a true mind-benber, take a chance on it. You'll go down a 2 day rabbit hole after watching it, trying to work out what the hell you just saw.

2024-06-22 07:50:58 +0000 UTCMore Denzel The Hurricane 1999 John Q 2002

2024-06-22 02:17:38 +0000 UTCIf you want Val Kilmer in his prime you'll love Batman Forever
Odd Thomas
2024-06-21 18:03:16 +0000 UTCA great Denzel film is The Manchurian Candidate.
Odd Thomas
2024-06-21 17:37:51 +0000 UTCVal Kilmer is in "Willow" (1988 Action/Adventure). Watch this movie if you want a classic Val Kilmer flick.
Eddy
2024-06-21 16:50:06 +0000 UTCThe car chase is the best part of the film - at least it's the most memorable scene in the film.
Michael SCH
2024-06-21 15:43:26 +0000 UTCIt's been so long since I've seen this movie. I love it! For Denzel movies, I highly recommend Fallen and Ricochet (Altho the latter might be because I'm such a hug John Lithgow fan)
TGrimace
2024-06-21 06:20:04 +0000 UTCAnother Great Scott/Washington Film is "The Taking of Pelham 123" from 2009 with John Travolta !!! This is a Great Remake, but i would watch the Original Version First from 1974 with Walter Matthau and Robert Shaw ... I also recommend "The Bone Collector" from 1999 as next Denzel ... A great Thriller with Angelina Jolie as Co Star ...
Florian Meier
2024-06-21 06:13:20 +0000 UTCSpartan is fanTAStic! And another David Mamet gem that riffs very similar to it is Heist (2001) with Gene Hackman.
Jay Davis
2024-06-21 06:08:51 +0000 UTCMy vote for the next Denzel is Malcolm X, the best performance of his career imo.
Birdie Num Num
2024-06-21 06:05:05 +0000 UTCApparently the writers of Deja Vu were not pleased with what Scott did to their script(which they say had no plot holes)
Birdie Num Num
2024-06-21 05:56:29 +0000 UTCUnfortunately for her, she's probably best known for being the ex-wife of Robin Thicke who gave him what he had coming to him.
Paul Cox
2024-06-21 05:53:54 +0000 UTCPaula Patton was in Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol, so maybe you have seen her before?
Birdie Num Num
2024-06-21 05:47:18 +0000 UTCNope, but just added it to the list. Thanks! (edit: wow! I see she died just two years after making The Ascent while scouting locations for Klimov's Farewell—a film that I tracked down and will make time for eventually.)
Paul Cox
2024-06-21 05:46:38 +0000 UTCSince you mentioned you were going through female directors, have you seen Larisa Shepitko's The Ascent (1977)? Saw it a few years ago, its pretty great. Shepitko was married to the director of Come and See.

2024-06-21 05:40:54 +0000 UTCI remember liking Mississippi Masala quite a bit when I rented the VHS in '92. Siskel and Ebert loved it(they were the equivalent of Rotten Tomatoes back then, haha). I see it was made part of the Criterion Collection in 2022, guess it has some staying power.
Birdie Num Num
2024-06-21 05:26:50 +0000 UTCAs an aside, I'm working through my own project of watching films from female directors I've never previously seen and Mississippi Masala (1991) (Denzel and Sarita Choudhury, dir: Mira Nair) is on my watchlist for the weekend. I'm sure it's probably a good recommendation anyway, but I'll come back after seeing it and let you know lol.
Paul Cox
2024-06-21 03:28:09 +0000 UTCIt comes up every time you so much as mention Val Kilmer's name, but Real Genius (1985) is a truly key movie in his career. As for Denzel, there's still so much to see! Malcolm X, Devil in a Blue Dress, and The Hurricane would be my most emphatic suggestions for where to venture next.
Paul Cox
2024-06-21 03:15:34 +0000 UTCI hope you enjoy it! I think a re-watch is going to be even better! -Sam
TBR Schmitt
2024-06-21 02:57:15 +0000 UTCironically I had déjà vu earlier today! And now you're both watching this movie! Of all days… Coincidence? Destiny? Chance? Life is crazy like that sometimes. I sometimes wonder if there is some truth of life with all its weird connections
Terry Lee
2024-06-21 02:56:59 +0000 UTCOoh thank you for the recommendation! -Sam
TBR Schmitt
2024-06-21 02:56:52 +0000 UTCgot the blu-ray for this one. Love Tony Scott and I need more Val Kilmer in my life. Speaking of which if you want to watch one of the most grounded, well written spy thrillers of all time, SPARTAN starring Val Kilmer. It's fast, doesn't hold your hand, but it's also not trying to be Mission Impossible or James Bond. It feels real.

2024-06-21 02:52:09 +0000 UTCBeen looking forward to this one. Haven't seen it since it came out and I really don't remember it very much
