That Enemy of the State cast was LOADED

[chiefdogg]

Not to derail the thread, just started watching Crimson Tide with the daughter. Another Tony Scott and Jerry Bruck film.

 

[Bleed The Freak]

White Men Can't Jump
Money Train
Murder at 1600
Blade
The Art Of War
Drop Zone
Passenger 57

Those were the ones that had my attention around that time.

The thing is he never did like serious Oscar bait drama's during the best time for them, which was like 1997, 1996. He had a return to form in 2010, with Brooklyn's Finest, but that was it. He was one of the best actors of the 90's, best stars, he was maybe better than Will. He may be a better actor.

US Marshals
Demolition Man
Jungle Fever
King of New York
Major League
Rising Sun
The Fan
Sugar Hill

That's a hell of a resume

Oh I forgot US Marshals, I saw that in theaters opening weekend. I saw The Fan on black box PPV around 1996. Sugar Hill is close to being a legit brilliant movie, I watched on TBS around 1997. It just had uneven script. The scenes in Harlem, in Central Park, the jazz score.

Risiing Sun is a bad movie, but it's very 90's classic. Jungle Fever is maybe my favorite Spike Lee.

We didn't even mention New Jack City. He is a better actor than Will Smith, looking at all the movies

Yes sir! Even his lesser works like Rising Sun were great 90's cheese and were fun. He had a hell of a run.

You can make a strong argument he was the second best black actor from the '90s

I have it as

Denzel
Wesley
Will
Fishburne

Money Train is on Tubi

Just put it on. Wesley is great. Jlo and Harrelson. The villian is pure 90's cheese, dude is wearing a pin stripe suit and smoking a cigar, "nothing stops the money train"

 

[re'up]

Even in a B movie, the chemistry between Lopez and Wesley Snipes, almost takes over the movie. Wow. What fukking acting.

The script is solid in that scene, but their acting is just off the charts good.

I keep saying it and nostalgia does play a role, but movies just don't have this kind of feel to them. That kind of coolness. This movie is all male, all the time. But it's not a parody of itself. Nor does itself or the leads take themselves too seriously.

 

[tru_m.a.c]

My fave will Smith role by far.

I watch the film every xmas since it take place around that time.

Will's plan to put MAGA voight against size more without them knowing is


You're either incredibly smart or incredibly stupid


Then of course the call back to the hackman classic the conversation

Definitely forgot it was...I found a new "this is a Christmas movie, debate me" topic

They play US Marshals on TV all the time now. I've rewatched it 3 maybe 4 times last year.

Also, once again, there are movies that "didn't land in the zeitgeist" of their time that are more talked about than Enemy of the State.

So then logically that means that this movie was even less than those movies with regard to cultural impact. You just argue to argue.

Nope, that's not what that means. Some movies are just forgotten regardless of their "cultural impact".

Money Train is a nostalgic 90s classic for me...i must've watched that shyt 100 times as a teen back in the day.

Jlo in that film too

 

[Copy Ninja]

Best Will Smith movie. Great editing. It's one of the fastest 2 hours, the pacing is so good.

It literally does mean that. You can’t change what words men just to continue arguing.

I don't think people understand just how great that movie actually really was

Yeah people want to talk about Iron Man but the actual Robert Downey Jr comeback started with this
