I loved The Hunt For Red October. Some clips:

One Ping Only


and also Crazy Ivan, Escaping Torpedoes.

Sidenote: I am a big fan of naval movies, and I also thoroughly enjoyed Greyhound (with Tom Hanks) that was realeased this year. Trailer here: Greyhound.

So many good choices, what to watch tonight in his honor. Though I also like Nicolas Cage and I don't think I have seen that movie.

"The Rock" is definitely a "must have seen".

"Presidio"? Meg Ryan plays Sean Connery's vivacious daughter.

I was thinking of the massage scene from "Never say never again", where she says "That feels good", and Bond replies "It certainly does" :smile:

EDIT/ADD -- Looks like I misquoted his line in my initial post. No wonder it was hard to figure out! o0)
