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.

I know I may be in the minority, but I actually enjoyed Troy quite a bit. Maybe even Outbreak? Another I should rewatch.

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. 🤔

Air Force One is the Die Hard on a plane movie with Gary Oldman as a "neocommunist".

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

Damn. They’re kind of blending together. I remember Oldman. Which one had Kurt Russel? Executive Decision, right? Air Force One had Harrison Ford?

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!

Solid action director. I just realized I've seen most of his stuff and really enjoyed most of it. RIP.

Did you know that in the 1980s movie PREDATOR the titular character was not originally portrayed by Kevin Peter Hall. It was in fact Jean-Claude Van Damme donning a much more insect inspired full body suit before he left the production which then led to the recasting and redesigning of the famous hunter.

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.
