Thanks for voting for this in the Sean Connery poll! This story was enjoyable and hooked me in, and with a stacked cast too! Lots of lingo and talk that I don't understand, but that didn't matter. Looking forward to your thoughts! Thanks for watching.

"...I would have liked...to have seen...Montana..."

OMG, KL 😄 This is my favorite movie from the Jack Ryan series of movies (which is saying a lot considering Harrison Ford plays the part in the next two, and he's great). I'm really happy you enjoyed it. I've heard some say it's too long and slow in parts, which makes no sense to me. It needs every scene and the time to simmer. I love the story, and as a former Marine, appreciate the accurate portrayal of military jargon. I hope you'll watch the rest of the movies 🤘❤️

I love that 'Stick' is the captain. I smile every time I see it. Scott Glenn has had some interesting roles over his career...

So I have a a slightly long winded story involving this film, but I thought I would share it for your possible enjoyment...I think of it every time I watch this film and I always chuckle to myself... Let me set the scene... In college one random day, my roommates were on the couch burning...incense...and found out a couple of them had not seen 'Hunt for Red October' One of my roommates who hadn't seen it said jokingly that it sounded like a..."adult homosexual film"...he then left without us to go to a party down the street at the girls volleyball house. The rest of my roommates stayed on the couch with the incense and put the film on... Cut to about 1:34:00 into the film... My roommate who left for the party returned like a hurricane storming in and interrupted the film standing in front of the tv and saying "you guys gotta hear this" yada yada The scene on the TV is the part where the captain of the Dallas agrees to let the Red October know they are behind them Tv: well, we just unzipped our fly. -my roommate who burst in picks up the remote- Tv: "If he so much as twitches I am gunna blow him-" -roommate pushes pause and continues talking- Realizing... Then he turns to the tv then back to us with a very confused smile and says "wtf?" And my other roommate without skipping a beat said "Sit down. Shut up. Smoke this. Or get out. You are interrupting the best part of the p*rno" We all died laughing. To this day I smile every time I see that scene. I Also don't know if my roommate who busted in drunk has still ever seen the Hunt for Red October...anyway I thought I would share cuz it makes me laugh...

Dang girl what reaction. I could tell you were about go over edge, you would put fingers on your lips lol. I loved when you pumped your fist when James Earl Jones blew up that torpedo. You should check out Chrissie reaction to the movie too she was almost as good as yours. She must knew how read under water maps she would get aggravated when she knew the sub was going the wrong way lol.

The Hunt for Red October is both a great film and a great book - definitely worth a read. There are a couple of differences from the book - the main one is that the silent propulsion system isn't a magnetohydrodynamic drive (that's a real concept, but impractical IIRC). The other thing that the book gives us the reason Ramius decides to defect, which the movie doesn't really go into - I don't recall the exact details, but IIRC his wife died due to the incompetence of a politically well-connected individual, who as a result didn't face any consequences. Tom Clancy actually got into some trouble after the book was published as it was thought by the US Navy/CIA that he'd obtained classified information, but he actually just made educated guesses as to current capabilities based on interviews with retired Royal & US Navy personnel and publicly available information (such as Jane's (?) Fighting Ships books). Liteweight Reacts did a good reaction to this a few months ago that's worth checking out, and she brought up a good point - there isn't strictly speaking a bad guy in this movie, just antagonists. Rather than repeat her verbatim I'll let you check her reaction.

Wouldn't call myself a sub movie expert, but definitely among my favorites. Other recommendations: Wolfgang Petersen's epic Das Boot (1981), undoubtedly in the conversation about the greatest submarine movies ever made. Part of the reason it has such a strong reputation is how much detail it goes into: there are three cuts of the movie, the longest actually being an edit that turns it into a 6-episode TV show (total running time: 5:08:08), followed by the director's cut (3:28:08), and then finally the theatrical cut (2:29:10). Crimson Tide (1995), which is similar to The Hunt for Red October in being more of a drama set on a submarine, filled with great acting and a hugely impressive ensemble cast that I won't spoil for you. For something different, I'll also throw in Below (2002), which is a submarine story about something other than war or military tactics. Won't give too much away, but in a small coincidence, it was written and directed by David Twohy, one of the writers of The Fugitive. There are also some others I'm interested in checking out but haven't yet, such as U-571 (2000) -- said to have taken great liberties with the true story, but still well-liked regardless -- and K-19: The Widowmaker (2002), directed by Point Break's Kathyrn Bigelow, which was unsuccessful upon release but seems to be respected by those who have checked it out. I also know a couple of the most famous older sub movies include The Enemy Below (1957) and Run Silent, Run Deep (1958). While I also hope you continue reacting to the Jack Ryan series, the one I'm hoping you get to is after the more popular next two. I'm partial to the fourth Jack Ryan movie, The Sum of All Fears (2002), for reasons I won't explain now as to avoid coloring your perceptions (but which you may guess once you see those movies). Also, it's fun that M:I got you in the mood, as I'm pretty sure there are some direct references to this movie in those last two movies. I don't think McQuarrie does the exact same thing but I recall him paying homage to the famous visual storytelling trick used here to show the viewer that while the Russians should be assumed to be speaking Russian the entire time, the movie is switching to English for our benefit.

Thanks for the reaction. One of my favorite movies. The only times I've noticed flight attendants mildly commenting on trying to get some sleep is on overseas flights (for tempering jet lag).

Hadn't seen it in a while, very fun rewatch! Scott Glenn was a real standout for me this time around, understated but completely captivating.

Perry Campbell

Can’t wait till KL sees Younger Scott Glenn in (Urban Cowboy) 😍😍

David Martin

This movie is a classic. My grandfather introduced this to me when I was a kid. Since you liked this I know for sure you will like Crimson Tide, another submarine movie with some familiar faces.

Vincent Hollow

This was great! Much better than I expected, although, man, I would have loved me some more Tim Curry. I did love the little nod McTiernan gave to his own Die Hard at the end with Jack Ryan doing his best "John McClane crawling through air ducts with a lighter" bit. I was like "I see what you did there, Mr. McTiernan."

Vincent Hollow

I've seen U-571 a few times back in the day, and I believe I saw it in theaters as well. I would say it's worth a watch, it has a great cast, and a intense feeling of dread and claustrophobia while still being a relatively fun movie.
