Enemy Of The State [1], the Tony Scott Joint, is a sort of follow-on, sort of homage to The Conversation, which is in my opinion the best American movie ever made. It's a worthy double bill.

#12http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071360/ This movie is boring, BTW.
Reading up a little on it beforehand may make you appreciate it more, the movie is really an pivotal moment in the development of sound design as a core aspect of film making. I know the first time I saw it I found it boring as well, but then a second viewing after reading up on it was much more enjoyable.

#13This movie is like Nap. Dynamite. People either love it or hate it. It seems rather dull till last part. When you see the last part man what an ending... There should have been a sequel, btw. However, EotS is completely different. Former is about individuals with no political motives at all. Latter is all political.

Although enjoyable, and a film I'd recommend as a good fun movie, it's not in the same league as The Conversation.

Of course not, but as a companion piece, it's plenty fun.

#17I watched is a couple of months ago and I think it is one of the best Gene Hackman movies.

#18Sorry, Netflix is not available in your country yet.
Non-US citizen here. I bounce off a Linode in the US (which I require for other purposes anyway; there are surely cheaper options).
SSH has a baked-in SOCKS proxy. Example: I SSH into my VPS with the "-D 55555" commandline option, configure my browser to use a SOCKS proxy at localhost:55555, and visit www.netflix.com. That HTTP traffic is tunneled over the SSH connection, and as far as Netflix is concerned, it originates at the US datacenter hosting my VPS.

#19Earlier quoted context omitted.
I don't remember what they predicted, but since I usually like Gene Hackman movies it was likely 3-4 stars. I gave it 2, way too boring for even a 70's movie.
Most of the best movies are from the 70s! Kids these days...
Hey now! I was a kid in the 70's, and I'm a fan of a number of the movies made. Just not this one :)

#20There's something to note about this film which, once you know it, detracts from it in a significant way. Since it's a bit of a spoiler, if anyone want's to know drop me a mail.
