Bridge of Spies
During the Cold War, the Soviet Union captures U.S. pilot Francis Gary Powers after shooting down his U-2 spy plane. Sentenced to 10 years in prison, Powers' only hope is New York lawyer James Donovan, recruited by a CIA operative to negotiate his release. Donovan boards a plane to Berlin, hoping to win the young man's freedom through a prisoner exchange. If all goes well, the Russians would get Rudolf Abel, the… From TMDB

60 of 171 · most liked firstFully bought in on Disclosure Day now that I know it's at least a solid B-plus movie because nobody does a solid B-plus movie better than Spielberg. Bridge of Spies is possibly the best solid B-plus movie of the century.

Hanks is always good, and Rylance says so much while say so little. Spielberg’s camera captures so much depth as always.

Heck. He would want the Soviets and East Germans to keep the Americans they held.

unlabelledView post →2015. Bridge of Spies. It is a GREAT movie. The climax (spoiler alert: on a bridge) is amazingly tense, with the movie expertly building up to it. Watch it if you haven't; rewatch it if you have. Otherwise - no argument. "Do you never worry?" "Would it help?"

A Few Good Men and Bridge of Spies given the Hallmark TV movie spin - but with a great Matthau turn as a country lawyer. It's not a great film, but I've seen better films I've liked a lot less.

Near the end, when Smiley enters his home and realizes his wife is there...that slight quiver/slump of relief..almost miss it if you aren't watching. Best performances are about the subtleties, e.g.Mark Rylance's Bridge of Spies. And yes, the eyes.

unlabelledView post →Bridge of Spies is one of those super rewarding, eminently rewatchable 9-to-9.5-out-of-10 movie that one always hopes to stumble upon, but so rarely does. Absolutely an underappreciated gem.
unlabelledView post →THE FABELMANS is an all-timer. WEST SIDE STORY is solidly in the running for best film of the 21st century. Going a little further back, LINCOLN, BRIDGE OF SPIES, and THE POST are all aces.
unlabelledView post →This is a tough one! I’d probably go w/ Sleepless in Seattle as my most-watched Tom Hanks film & I do ❤️ it. Bridge of Spies (2015) is also very good.

unlabelledView post →My thoughts, if you're so inclined: Munich is surprisingly low on that list; need to see Bridge of Spies ; sincerely doubt Spielberg has in him a better movie than Jurassic Park and a worse one than Ready Player One; I, too, do not hate Lost World (the hanging van is an all-timer).
unlabelledView post →So many favourites! Apollo 13, Forest Gump, You've Got Mail, Bridge of Spies, The Post...more. I have the Mr. Rogers movie but haven't played it yet. No doubt about liking it too.
unlabelledView post →Couple of belated thoughts about #DisclosureDay. The first is it's the first Spielberg not edited by Michael Kahn since E.T, with Sarah Broshar (who co-edited all his films since Bridge of Spies) taking over, and you can tell, the movie is definitely faster than Kahn's later work.
