Loved his 1981 movie Das Boot. RIP Mr Petersen.

Re: Wolfgang Petersen dead at 81
Das Boot is definitely the classic, but you can't discount In the Line of Fire and Air Force One, two major contributions to the dad movie canon.
R.I.P. |

R.I.P. I know I may be in the minority, but I actually enjoyed Troy quite a bit. Maybe even Outbreak? Another I should rewatch. |
The Neverending Story was a mainstay in my house growing up.

Yes, absolutely. Although it’s been so long I need to rewatch Air Force One. Did that have Steven Segal in it? I might confusing it with another movie. 🤔

You're thinking of Executive Decision, the Die Hard on a plane movie with David Suchet as an Arab terrorist.

Air Force One is the one where Harrison Ford tells somebody to get off his plane. |

WARNING: "Why I love it..." spoilers below
It was when Segal's character dies shortly into the movie and I realized I still had almost a whole film still ahead of me that would have no Segal in it that I said... "I'm going to LOVE this movie!" and I did! ;) |
Re: Wolfgang Petersen dead at 81
Solid action director. I just realized I've seen most of his stuff and really enjoyed most of it. RIP.

R.I.P

Liked all the movies I saw of his from Das Boot and beyond. I thought The Perfect Storm was also a very good film and although the end was spoiled for me (the previews didn't exactly hide the fact) I still liked it a lot. Godspeed, Wolfgang.
