As far as movies that are crazy mashups go, that was quite enjoyable:
- #Aliens
- #HuntForRedOctober
- #JurassicPark
- #KingKong1976
Lotsa kaiju, military action, and espionage intrigue to hold my attention. 🙏
I assume budgetary constraints forced New York to look like some drab communist state factory city in the rain. 🤷♂️
The biggest drawback was the whiney leads Broderick and Pitillo and their strained romance. 😖
Other than that, I quite enjoyed this rewatch. 🙂
Auch am #MeerfilmMittwoch Nr. 41/25 bleibe ich im herbstlichen Wohlfühlmodus und werfe mich mit #HuntForRedOctober (USA 1990, R: John McTiernan) aufs Bett. Vertraute Gesichter (Sean Connery, Alec Baldwin, James Earl Jones, Sam Neil, Tim Curry, ...), eine Weltordnung, in der man noch gut und böse voneinander unterscheiden konnte, epische Musik von Basil Polidouris, kantige Autos und praktische Effekte anstelle von CGI. Dazu die schmeichelnde "smart-analyst-saves-the-world"-story. Hach.
Red October is such a classic movie.
Inspired by some others, tomorrow is going to be a film marathon: RONIN, HEAT and CRIMSON TIDE. #huntforredoctober
This business will get out of control. It will get out of control and we’ll be lucky to live through it.

One of the most thoughtful and careful action thrillers of all time, and it's a better movie for it. My ★★★★ review of The Hunt for Red October (1990) on Letterboxd: https://boxd.it/7XvkOJ #HuntForRedOctober #JackRyan #Letterboxd
She liked it! Got a little confused by the three-submarine action at the end, just like everybody does on a first watch. But otherwise entertaining. #HuntForRedOctober #movies
The #HuntForREDOctober hasn't gone well this year. Day one and I'm in bed with a cold. #ukrunchat #running #RunEveryDay #redoctober
@8bitgames I still miss the old 'Hunt for Red October' DOS game from years ago. The only game I would still enjoy decades later!
Watching #HuntForRedOctober. Will always be weird to me that Dr. Crusher is Jack Ryan’s ride to the airport.
With this new nuclear submarine information leak, how is #OrangeJesus still walking around in public, like “right this very moment!” #HuntforRedOctober #trump #imbecile #maga #domesticTerror
Es ist mal wieder einer dieser verregneten, energiefressenden Tage, an denen es abends einfach einen Wohlfühl-Film braucht, den man inzwischen so gut kennt, dass man auch sorglos dabei einschlafen kann. Also, Zeit für die #JagdAufRoterOktober . #HuntForRedOctober #SeanConnery ⚓️
#Movies I had thought #AlecBaldwin left the #JackRyan franchise b/c of the long-term commitment. On #MichaelRosenbaum's #InsideOfYou #Podcast, #GatesMcFadden (Cathy in #HuntForRedOctober) said Baldwin asked for too much money to return and Jack and Cathy were recast.

After re-reading The Hunt for Red October, I'm on to re-reading Patriot Games. The former (published in 1984) stands up fairly well to the test of time.
Unfortunately, the latter (published in 1987) is littered with stuff, from the depiction of Prince Charles' marriage, through the lax attitude to child gun safety, to terrorism on U.S. soil, that dates very badly indeed. It's the far less enjoyable of the two to read nowadays, as a result.

Let’s sink subs, back in the day it was #HuntForRedOctober #C64
Although I was a #Spectrum player. Only played it at a mates place. Don’t know him now ‘cause issues. Etc.
