The 80s and 90s really spoiled us with all the good thrillers.

I love it so much too!

I'll tell you why. Because Tom Clancy was a hell of a great writer. This is just the first of a series of books/films surrounding the character Jack Ryan. Harrison Ford stars in the following two films (Patriot Games & Clear and Present Danger) as the aforementioned Jack Ryan. Both are worth a watch. Though I personally believe that this is the best film in the series.

In four years, from 87-90, John McTiernan made this, Die Hard, and Predator. All-time director heater.

Hope your day is getting better, Teegan. The world does suck and I often have a tenuous hold on my emotions. One of my coping mechanisms has been enjoying films I like with reactors like yourself so hopefully knowing you’re bringing joy to us will help yourself too. ❤️ And another good movie with October in the title is October Sky … which like this has no spooky vibes for the season but is more emotional (and based on a true story) … in case you want a good movie in the month that doesn’t feature hockey masks, knife-hands, or deadly apparitions. 🙂

What a month of movies. One banger after another! Thank you Teegan!

I have deleted all my social media, it's too much to keep track of. Focusing on my family and community. And movies as my escape, and this movie is a great political thriller. My personal favorite submarine movie is Das Boot.

The Jack Ryan films and shows are kind of like the James Bond franchise...it's a little nebulous as to whether they are all set in the same universe or if each subsequent production is a different timeline. Hunt for Red October, Patriot Games and Clear and Present Danger are definitely all in the same timeline and are all great movies (Alec Baldwin declined to return after Red October but he was replaced with someone just as awesome). While it has never been definitively addressed by the creators, each of the subsequent movies (Sum of all Fears and Jack Ryan Shadow Recruit) and the Amazon Prime TV show are essentially all reboots and standalone productions.

Awesome, this is in my top 20 all-time faves.

Ditto. That ball started rolling in the 70s too.

Great reaction! I’m glad you enjoyed the film. And I feel you on needing a respite from current events. I like the choice of a reaction with October in the title. Next year, October Sky 😊 Yes, the Amazon series is based on the same character. This film was the first of five movies about Jack Ryan. Although this one being the only film where Alec played Jack I won’t say anymore, but they are definitely worth adding to the watchlist I really enjoyed the language transition as well! I thought it was very clever. I’m sure Sean really appreciated not having to speak Russian with a Scottish accent for the whole film 😄

“Let them sing.” - I love this line. Americans and Russians both are given their moments to shine. Neither side is shown as being evil, especially the Russians, even though this film was shot two years before the official end of the Cold War, and 4 months before the Fall of the Berlin Wall. Ramius and his officers have their reasons for defecting, but they aren’t crusading against their home country. They aren’t attacking their own countrymen. The opposite is seen. Ramius has deep respect for his fellow countrymen and when they begin singing the Russian National Anthem (which is the basis for the film’s score btw), even though they probably shouldn’t because of the noise, he doesn’t stop them. He says “let them sing.” He knows that his plan will very likely bring shame on them soon, so in this moment he decides to let his men feel as much pride as possible, for serving their country. “Let them sing.” In the final battle scene, it feels good to see the Russian crewman cheering when they think Ramius has “scared them out of the water.” And you feel a little sadness when Ramius kills Political Officer Putin, when he was so excited to share their orders with the crew. Ramius’ very patriotic speech that precedes the Russian National Anthem was written by the very patriotic, writer and director, John Milius, who also wrote Quint’s USS Indianapolis monologue in Jaws (1975). John Milius, who wrote Dirty Harry (1971) and Apocalypse Now (1979), wrote and directed Conan the Barbarian (1982) and Red Dawn (1984), was also a Go-To Script Doctor, usually for Steven Spielberg, who was one of his best friends. John Milius is known to be an “uncredited” script editor on Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984) and Saving Private Ryan (1998), as well as Jaws and Hunt for Red October mentioned earlier. In fact, if it hadn’t been for John Milius, Sean Connery would not have done the film. That comes directly from the film’s producer, Mace Neufeld, whose office was fatefully next to John’s. Check out this fun clip from a documentary on John Milius. https://youtu.be/85PirbW5ESw?si=NLQZOqgpAPvIScwy&t=1h19m47s The reason the underwater shots looked so real, was because they were real. Not actually underwater, but real submarines… miniature submarines… miniature canyons. Miniatures were shot on film, on a smoky soundstage. A technique called “dry-for-wet.” In post, Optical Compositing, (same techniques used in Star Wars), was used to create the Thor’s Twins canyon run. Minimal CGI used for bubbles and water movement. Old school techniques/Non CGI… wins again. ;-) If you liked The Hunt for Red October and its old school techniques, smart storytelling and thrills, then definitely check out the next two, at least, Jack Ryan films, starring Harrison Ford as Jack Ryan. (After the Indiana Jones films, of course ;-) Patriot Games (1992) Clear and Present Danger (1994)… officially written by John Milius this time. 2 other films that came to mind, that I’m sure you’d love… The Abyss (1989)… directed by James Cameron Crimson Tide (1995)… submarine film directed by Tony Scott PS::: “Conn” is a nautical term, originating from a back-formation or alteration of the Old French word conduire (to conduct/guide), which itself comes from the Latin conducere (to lead) “One of the most important principles of ship handling is that there be no ambiguity as to who is controlling the movements of the ship. One person gives orders to the ship's engine, rudder, lines, and ground tackle. This person is said to have the "conn." — James Alden Barber, 2005, "Introduction", The Naval Shiphandler's Guide

The language transition from Russian to English occurs at "Armageddon" because the word is pronounced the same way in both languages. And it's explained a little better in the novel, but the cook is an undercover operative of the GRU, the USSR's military intelligence service. And if you're interested in more submarine thrillers, I know others are going to suggest "Crimson Tide," but I'd also toss out "K-19: The Widowmaker" and "Phantom."

Hype button only appears on phones, in case anyone was wondering about the plea at the end.

Clint dale Ballew

Please forgive the stupid question, but why is the movie blurred out and silent?

Kaleb Barker

Good to know. I mostly only watch Youtube on PC and kept wondering why it wasn't showing up as an option.

So you gotta watch the movie with your own copy and just play her reaction on the side. It's a legal issue. Streaming services pay hundreds of millions of dollars to get exclusive rights to shows or movies. So if a streamer just plays the full movie those services get super litigious and take down those streamers.

"CONN" Refers to the conning tower, sub speak for control room essentially

Please, Three Amigos. i promise you, you'll want to watch it.
