Child's Play 2

Tremors

Back to the Future 3

Misery

PRESUMED INNOCENT 1990 Alan J. Pakula (RE-WATCH)

Indy cheats on John McClane's ex wife. Suspenseful murder mystery/thriller/courtroom drama. Surprised this aged so well. The directing and casting was superb. Greta Scacchi seems like the perfect 90's femme fatale and Raul Julia must be related to Javier Bardem somehow. Accompanied by a beautiful and fitting John Williams score. Eligible as neo-noir according to imdb and letterboxd. Recommended!

There was no trailer, no advertising, nothing.. Even fans of Ben Kingsley I know haven't seen (some haven't heard) of this movie. I think I gave it an 8/10





That's some bad hat, Harry.
A lot of my favs have been mentioned.

Just looking at 1990 releases and I noticed a lot of great thrillers came out that year:

Pacific Heights
Narrow Margin
Presumed Innocent
Misery
Arachnophobia
The Hunt for the Red October
Die Hard 2
Q and A
Bird on a Wire
Kindergarten Cop
