I LOVE Nighthawks. But I freely admit that I will watch Rutger Hauer in ANYTHING.
Oh yeah! Forgot to add RH at Peak Hotness.
You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I saw (500) Days of Summer today. I have not laughed that hard at a movie in a very long time.
It really was quite funny. We missed some lines, we were laughing so hard.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
and Sting's wee voice was totally lost on the stage under the other projecting singers. Sad.
So very sad.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
Rutger Hauer should've been a mega-star but alas, he had a brief flirtation with stardom, and then was relegated to mostly crap B-movies. If you haven't seen the movie, Split Second, then rectify it immediately. It's a relatively low-budget sci-fi/horror flick he made in England, and is so much better than you'd expect.

He was great in Batman Begins.

He was great in Batman Begins.
But I was thrown for a loop seeing how much he'd aged. He was always Roy Batty in my head.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Sting was in some horrific movies in the early 80s.
With a theme like this, nobody's mentioned Plenty? He and Tracey Ullman absolutely stole the movie from Meryl Streep, not that they stole anything of much value. Streep acted like her idea of character development was to change her hairstyle every 10-15 minutes.

Hauer was also good in Escape from Sobibor, a tv movie about the Holocaust with Alan Arkin.

Because books.
Hell, I watched ... Flesh and Bone, I think it was called, with Hauer and Jennifer Jason Leigh, about a dozen times. It was really awful, but I LOVE him.

I know Ladyhawke is fantasy, rather than scifi, but hey...Rawrtgur. And I don't usually go for blond guys.
I even loved him in Prophesy III.
And, A Breed Apart, which I recall as being otherwise dreadful.
