Good list sir.
Always loved Taps

 

[Fox by the Sea]

Locke - Tom Hardy
his finest performance, imo. and he's alone in a car the entire movie.

Now this is a list I need. Some of these I have missed.

I was starting to think I was the only one who liked it

I’ll add Blood Father and Get the Gringo for Gibson.

A Perfect World, The Pledge, and Cop Land I still have no clue how they aren’t talked about more.

Nobody’s Fool got it’s due in its time but seems largely forgotten since.

Tom Cruise - Taps

I remember channel hopping onto Taps and really enjoying it. I had never heard of it, so I was surprised at what an amazing cast it had where a lot of them were still youngsters.

Tom Cruise
Sean Penn
Timothy Hutton
George C Scott
Looking at imdb I see Giancarlo Esposito was in it too

A Perfect World is another good shout and a really solid Costner film (Although the kid actor is kinda ropey). I first saw it back in the 90's when I was a kid and the ending made me cry like a baby

I feel like another Costner gem that gets slept on is Thirteen Days, which is a political film about the Cuban Missile Crisis. Really great overall movie and Costner is definitely a highlight

Thinking of Thirteen Days led me to The 6th Day, which is a year 2000 Ahnold Sci-fi film that I really enjoyed too. I always considered that a forgotten gem of his

Thirteen days is gold. Very underrated.

idk if I can get away with claiming Jason Patric and Stephen Baldwin as massive stars, but one of my favourite 80's underrated movies is definitely The Beast of War, where a bunch of American actors larp as a Russian tank crew fighting in the Afghan-Soviet war in their T-55

This is one of those films I always try to sneak into my recommendations. It was directed by Kevin Reynolds who would go on to direct the classic Robin Hood Prince of Thieves and Waterworld (I always thought Waterworld was surprisingly decent as well considering the hate it got)

Thank you. Never heard of it. Just gotta find it streaming in my country now.

Also James Gandolfini’s second to last role and has Noomi Rapace in it. Love that movie.

While not a movie star, 2-pack was still a star nonetheless...

Reminds me of this movie.

Nobody’s Fool got it’s due in its time but seems largely forgotten since.

Tim was also an all right movie from early in Mel's career.

The Pledge should have been up for all kinds of awards from acting to Sean Penn as a director.

Pac got the job done in every movie role I saw him in. Good in Above the Rim. Carried the whole movie in Poetic Justice.

Was watching A Soliders Story a few weeks ago, good film although Denzel isnt the star but very recognisable "Denzelish".

Basically a Coen Bros film about a decade earlier.

Tigerland - Colin Farrell
