Making a bet in Cruel Intentions (1999) Kathryn Merteuil played by Sarah Michelle Gellar & Ryan Phillippe as Sebastian Valmont | Screenplay: Roger Kumble - Director: Roger Kumble

This movie comes up time to time on The Rewatchables and it always gets dismissed as a failed SNL movie along with A Night at the Roxbury and It’s Pat. But it’s incredibly funny and extremely Rewatchable.

-The cast is legendary: Aykroyd, Curtin, Burke, Farley, Sandler, Sinbad, McKeen, Spade, Alexander, Hartman, and Parker Posey and Joey Lauren Adams as Connie’s friends.

-It’s a coming of age movie, manhunt movie, rags to riches movie, sci-fi movie, and a golf movie all rolled into one.

-It’s incredibly quotable, if I say, “Flamdep!!!” around my dad he will lose his mind laughing.

Why do you think this movie gets dismissed and doesn’t enter the higher ranks of SNL movies?

Redfoot. Pool room. The boat of course.

But my favorite is the New York’s Finest Taxi Service. “I am having a toast, to Mr. Verbal. The man with the plan.”

The girls wash Mr Lombardos Jeep in Wild Things (1998) Kelly Van Ryan played by Denise Richards | Soundtrack: I Want What I Want by Lauren Christy - Screenplay: Stephen Peters - Director: John McNaughton

Breakfast at Whammyburger in Falling Down (1993) Rick the manager played by Brent Hinkley - Screenplay: Ebbe Roe Smith - Director: Joel Schumacher

Classic scene.

This thriller from veteren John Frankenheimer is pure excellence, the script, acting and action are top draw. De Niro and Reno are brilliant in this as of course you would expect from two such excellent actors. The action scenes are pulse pounding and particularly excellent are the car chases, probably the best ever. Not only did the stunt guys risk their lives but the guys shooting the action captured some truly thrilling close up view from the cars as they speed along. The action also carries a certain degree of realism to it, the shootouts are sensible and the car chases and crashes seem very genuine no massive corkscrewing threw the air like most car chases or cars jumping 100 feet in the air. The pacing of the film was great and there was a constant chilling atmosphere. As I said before Robert De Niro and Jean Reno were exceptional particularly in their scenes together. The support cast are good too with a brief but excellent display from Sean Bean and Natasha Mchelhone and Jonathan Pryce are both good. All in all a very god way to spend a few hours.

The return of a dead serial killer complicates the life of John, a detective. Upon further investigation, he realises that the mayhem is caused by a supernatural entity that must be stopped anyhow.
