Since I don’t want to derail the MO thread (not even for the sake of irony) I’ll continue the Crimson Tide discussion here.
Despite its usual brand of Bruckheimerian silliness, it’s a wonderful film.
I’m reminded of an article I read a couple of years back about what made the showdown between Gene Hackman and Denzel Washington so great:
FTA
Washington and Hackman are such superb actors that if you had them yelling at each other, and over each other, while arguing about their shopping, or a pair of gardening gloves, it would be worth tuning in for.
Damn if that isn’t true.
