In the Line of Fire (Eastwood), Day of the Jackal, I mean come on people. It's almost like they WANT something to happen (also fine)

unlabelledView post →The staged assassination attempt has had me randomly thinking of the movie In The Line of Fire. I loved that movie. First performance of John Malkovich's I remember. I instantly fell in love with his ice cold, controlled, cerebral intense acting style.

unlabelledView post →I'm watching "In the Line of Fire," and Clint Eastwood just told John Malkovitch "You've got a rendezvous with my ass, motherfucker!" which is simultaneously the worst line I've ever heard in a movie and the best one

An attorney, he pursued a film career that included DIE HARD 2, CAPE FEAR & IN THE LINE OF FIRE. He was elected twice as Senator, ran for President in 2008, & died in 2015.

unlabelledView post →As well as trade, Trump has killed off a whole genre of thriller - film, novel and TV - which sees the president as worth saving by tier one operatives etc. In The Line of Fire, for example. Even if you don't sympathise with the assassin, you're going to wonder if it's worth the loss of Clint.

unlabelledView post →I find it so interesting that one of Dylan McDermott's earliest scenes of interest was 1993's In The Line of Fire where he begins the movie sweaty and gagged. Gotta admit this put him on my radar!

unlabelledView post →So ‘In the Line of Fire’ popped up on the tv tonight… We’d sometimes let a movie like that run in the background because John Malkovich is an interesting actor. But tonight, hubby said ‘get that Trump-supporting tool bag off our screen’ re Clint. Gotta admit, kinda hot. 😁
unlabelledView post →Literally a plot point in the Clint Eastwood film In the Line of Fire
unlabelledView post →In the Line of Fire (1993) remake, but the movie revolves around the lead USSS agent getting an STI while on a traveling protection detail and then giving it to his wife when he gets home. Lots of bad stuff happens in the background as Chris Pratt scratches his rash.

unlabelledView post →Ever see the movie In the Line of Fire....same EXACT scenario....lol....John Malkovich did a better job, however.
unlabelledView post →I remember that classic Clint Eastwood movie, “In The Line of Fire”, & the scene where John Malkovich missed shooting the POTUS & the Secret Service literally RAN the POTUS out of the hotel & into the limo. That was NOT the scene at tonight’s WHCD. Trump could BARELY MOVE to get out of the ballroom

unlabelledView post →During the Wolfgang Petersen movie In The Line of Fire while Clint Eastwood is looking over a list of names attending an event where the President will be speaking, there is a man named "Tony Farta" and "Bob Frart."
unlabelledView post →Das Boot was a really good film and Wolfgang Petersen's big break into Hollywood. He went on to make some good Hollywood blockbusters too like In the Line of Fire, Outbreak, A Perfect Storm, Air Force One, and Troy. What distinguishes his film making is the consistent competence like Howard Hawks.
unlabelledView post →1/ During 1990s, image creation progressed from obvious special effects like metal in T2(1991), to realistic-looking dinosaurs in Jurassic Park(1993). But also, CGI was being used to create absolutely real-looking normal scenes, as in In the Line of Fire(1993). www.denofgeek.com/movies/how-1...
unlabelledView post →Aside the 1993 thriller "In The Line Of Fire", my second favourite Clint Eastwood film is "Where Eagles Dare". Also love the soundtrack/score by Ron Goodwin and bought it on vinyl a few years back. youtu.be/SXl3xnex8Zw?...
