Hahaha, I understand the appeal to fanboys that the franchise has, but I doubt I’ll get a whole lot out of it myself. I’ll see it someday because I “have to,” but I’m really in no hurry.

I don’t want to offend you Ashley, but you’re probably too old to enjoy it by now, so I wouldn’t go out of my way to see it.

Meh. It’s just never interested me. Sorry to offend everybody! I will get around to it eventually, really.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, Ashley… I just read that you haven’t watched Raiders of the Lost Ark? HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE!

Well I gotta commend you for defending the guy. I’ll add a few of your recommendations to my cue and we’ll see …

I guess I didn’t realize those were 1990’s. I was being presumptive. But you know what I mean. I guess I should’ve said anything post-Air Force One.

The Fugitive kicks all sorts of ass.

Yeah, I enjoy Air Force One. It’s silly, but a hell of a fun movie and Gary Oldman as a villain is always fantastic.

And I would say post-mid-90s Ford. The Fugitive, Clear and Present Danger, and Patriot Games are all great. I’m also a fan of Presumed Innocent and Regarding Henry (not a great film, but a great and out of character performance for Ford).

Admittedly you'll want to steer clear of post 90's Ford (although Air Force One is kind of fun). But anything pre-1990's is gold. Hanover Street and Force Ten from Navarone are solid choices as well. Though go see Raiders of the Lost Ark right now.

Haha, sorry Andrew. No I haven’t seen the Indy movies. I’ll get around to them eventually, I promise. Okay, I sort of enjoyed Witness the first time, but subsequent viewings were just dull. I think I have seen one Jack Ryan movie … was Sean Bean a bad guy in one of those … Patriot Games. Zzzzz. Oh and I also saw What Lies Beneath. Don’t get me started on that one!

Who knows, this morning news show movie could be hilarious. If it’s subtle and finds it’s humour in smart dialogue and small glances, it’ll be golden. But if it’s going to rely on gross-out humour or silly slapstick or dumbed down 90s-romantic-comedy coincidences, I’m not interested. We’ll put this in the “we’ll see” file.
