Rewind Classic Movies
Crimson Tide (1995) is a masterclass but is it memorable?
We rewound this '95 submarine thriller in tribute to the late, great Gene Hackman but we didn't expect to find it more relevant than ever 30 years later.
Trouble with Russia? Check. On the brink of WW3? Check. Feeling safe with nukes in the hands of the US President? Uh oh.
It's Denzil vs Hackman with genius filmmaking, shady filmmaking and a bit of secret Tarantino thrown in.
Also, for the first time, we hear from our Patrons!
🗓️ Don't miss the FAST FORWARD episode next week that looks at everything that happened AFTER Crimson Tide in 1995.
Which is tough. I can tell you it will involve Tony Scott's other films and the F...B...I in a questionable policy around democracy....
