Training Day
Glory
Inside Man

Philadelphia
Malcolm X

And I've never seen Mo Better Blues, but I bet I'd like him in that based on his other works with Spike Lee.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Hes great in Glory so is Morgan Freeman and M Broderick, Have you seen Fallen with Denzel and Goodman?

Yea, in high school, but I can't remember it. Does it hold up? Most of those late 90s Hollywood flicks are pretty bad.

Sometimes I think this is my favorite movie of the 90s

Then I think about it some more and I change my mind

But it's really good

It was in my queue so I watched it before the debate. Clooney was great in a silly supporting role but over all I was disappointed and I had lower expectations going in. Lots of familiar faces throughout, it became more fun to see who would pop up instead of actually watching.
That could be an idea for a new thread: standout performances in otherwise bad movies.
