60 of 94 · most liked firsti was explaining the movie Arlington Road to my wife and said it starred Jeff Bridges and Tim Meadows. it might seem like i just flubbed the name of the very famous Tim Robbins, but i don't think that's it. i choose to believe there is a dimension, somewhere, where this film exists. i need it to.
positive · AI labelView post →I keep thinking about the 1999 movie Arlington Road, which imagines a secret white supremacist plot blowing up FBI HQ. Who knew that in the end the white supremacist terrorist wld be a man of color approved by Senate even after he published a book stating his plan. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfbB...

positive · AI labelView post →Also last night we rewatched bizarre 90s movie Arlington Road. Jeff Bridges character, a prof of terrorism (lol), says about white supremacist violence then “and this is under prosperity! Imagine what happens when the money runs out” 💀
neutral · AI labelView post →This movie contains a dramatic scene where Jeff Bridges running in slow motion. He has several movies where this happens, including, but not limited to, Arlington Road, and The Door in the Floor. One day I will make a complete list.

neutral · AI labelView post →25 years ago this holiday weekend, you could have seen in theatres the first AUSTIN POWERS film, RUN LOLA RUN, SOUTH PARK: BIGGER, LONGER & UNCUT, NOTTING HILL, or SUMMER OF SAM. The following weekend, ARLINGTON ROAD and AMERICAN PIE. The weekend after: BLAIR WITCH PROJECT. We were so damn lucky.

neutral · AI labelView post →What movie do you consider perfect? Arlington Road. Even when the answer to the central question is revealed you don’t realize until the last few seconds that Chekov HAD a backup gun. Opening with eerie music by Mothersbaugh sets a perfect tone and you’re intentionally left with timely questions
positive · AI labelView post →Badalamenti also did the score for the second best Nightmare on Elm Street film, DREAM WARRIORS and another of my favs ARLINGTON ROAD.
neutral · AI labelView post →Drop a movie that traumatized you as a kid. I was about 13 when it came out, but the ending to Arlington Road stuck with me for days after I saw it.
neutral · AI labelView post →I’m revisiting Arlington Road and thinking about how we’ve spent years listening to conservatives screech about how you can’t make good movies anymore because of woke but a major movie studio would never make this in the current political climate because it’s about right wing extremism.
neutral · AI labelView post →#MovieSky 30 Day Movie Challenge Day 20 A great movie you'll never watch again Arlington Road (1999) Good movie, but with a fucked up ending. Once was enough.
neutral · AI labelView post →Have you ever seen the movie Arlington Road? It’s a pretty good argument about lone gunman theories the government comes up with.
positive · AI labelView post →Watching Arlington Road, a movie I've never heard of
neutral · AI labelView post →My brain briefly shortcircuited failing to remember such a scene in the Jeff Bridges movie until I remembered that was actually Arlington Road. Equally strange movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →Arlington Road!!!! available on Prime. I have been yelling for years that this movie immediately fell out of the consciousness 18 months later because of 9/11
positive · AI labelView post →It's scary movie season and I count Arlington Road as horror, but, woof, had not watched it in quite a while... All of the domestic rw terrorism of the 90s seems almost quaint compared to *waves hands* the Everything. That said, this movie was already scary. Now? It's bone-chilling.
positive · AI labelView post →"Watching 'Arlington Road,' I got the uneasy feeling that the movie was made for (and by) people who live entirely in the moment–who gape at the energy of a scene without ever asking how it connects to what went before or comes after." Roger Ebert July 9, 1999
neutral · AI labelView post →A film I would love to see a sequel to, which I think might feel particularly prescient, is the great film from 1998 with Jeff Bridges and Tim Robbins, “Arlington Road.” #Movies #Film #90s #Conspiracy #Nostalgia
positive · AI labelView post →Seth. Not saying it was, but I think it's a good time to go watch the movie Arlington Road again.
positive · AI labelView post →Just rewatched "Arlington Road" and the movie is fine but the ending still rules. Even if it's full of plot contrivances, I respect the gall to end the movie on such a bummer. Not only does the good guy lose, he gets completely owned.
neutral · AI labelView post →I saw this and Mulholland drive in my teens and then years later when I would hear people reference mullholland drive and how it's a landmark movie and amazing etc. I was SO confused because I kept thinking Arlington Road.
neutral · AI labelView post →Have you ever seen Arlington Road? Vance Boelter and his wife Jenny, could be the family in this film. She had a getaway car, cash, guns, passports.. her phony Christian sympathy just doesn’t ring true. She was the CEO of the company he ordered the masks. She should be held with her assets seized
neutral · AI labelView post →Arlington Road is a July 4th movie
neutral · AI labelView post →Arlington Road is the most unsung great movie.
positive · AI labelView post →Like Arlington Road? I hated the ending to that movie. #FreelanceFriends
negative · AI labelView post →November's movie theme is "all those '90s adult thrillers I haven't seen." Watched Primal Fear, Sliver, and Arlington Road so far
neutral · AI labelView post →Does anyone else remember the movie Arlington Road? Feels like it just disappeared.
neutral · AI labelView post →Arlington Road would kill a 2026 movie-goer
positive · AI labelView post →The best part of Arlington Road was the film trying to convince you that a bomb small enough to fit in the trunk of a compact car with plenty of room to spare could cause this much damage.
negative · AI labelView post →Arlington Road is a criminally underrated movie. It's so good and I tell everyone I can to watch it.
positive · AI labelView post →Next up: Arlington Road (1999) one we haven't seen for awhile. Tim Robbins, Jeff Bridges, Joan Cusack, Hope Davis. #Filmsky #Moviesky 📽 🎬 youtube.com/watch?v=zfbB...
neutral · AI labelView post →Frightening movie. Also watch Arlington Road. Crazy.
positive · AI labelView post →Arlington Road is so good. I haven't ever felt my stomach drop from dread like I did watching the climax of that film.

neutral · AI labelView post →Arlington Road?...but that was a great film!
positive · AI labelView post →#filmsky #films 📽️ Arlington Road | 1999 w/ Jeff Bridges, Tim Robbins, Joan Cusack there are a lot of films with mean twists at the ending, but back then it was my first mean twist at the ending film. I still remember how shocked I was. besides that, it's still a good film.
positive · AI labelView post →Holy cats. I stumbled on a movie I haven’t seen. Arlington Road. Intense. Seems weirdly prescient.
positive · AI labelView post →Our final movie of December and of the year will be the little known Arlington Road from 1999 starring Jeff Bridges and Tim Robbins.
neutral · AI labelView post →I'm honestly not sure if I've seen 'Blown Away.' Looking at the poster, all I can think about is 'Arlington Road,' a completely different '90s movie about bombs starring Jeff Bridges. I saw 'Arlington Road' in the theatre. I recall thinking that film was just okay. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arlingt...
neutral · AI labelView post →Watched the movie "Arlington Road" again. Shockingly prescient. Great acting by all cast members.
positive · AI labelView post →Have you seen Arlington Road, it’s an old movie about the Boelter family. I cannot understand why his wife wasn’t arrested www.cbsnews.com/amp/minnesot...
neutral · AI labelView post →Ever see the Movie Arlington Road. It’s old, but I think it’s the Boelter family story and they are the bad guys. His wife is also shady. www.cbsnews.com/amp/minnesot...
neutral · AI labelView post →I haven't seen Tim Robbins make a movie in a long time. What was his last film Arlington Road?
neutral · AI labelView post →Aye, I worked in cinemas for 15+ years, so I know my films. If someone can't remember a title, I can usually guess the film if they name 2 actors in it, & a general plot. "I watched a thriller last night, it had Big Lebowski & Susan Sarandon's husband in it?" "Arlington Road, plus they're divorced."
neutral · AI labelView post →Arlington Road. Climax scene. Great candidate for the podcast podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/u...
neutral · AI labelView post →Arlington Road. What a GREAT movie!
positive · AI labelView post →I always seem to mix this one up with "Arlington Road," another movie about Jeff Bridges and bombs

neutral · AI labelView post →Arlington Road-totally underrated film with 2 of my favourite actors Jeff Bridges and Tim Robbins
positive · AI labelView post →Oh, it goes on forever! Arlington Road, Fisher King, White Squall, etc. Even something that isn't considered a "good" movie like The Men Who Stare At Goats, it was impossible not to love him in it
neutral · AI labelView post →Sometimes I wonder at the cultural moment that allowed a film like Arlington Road (1999) to make it to theaters. Yes, the plot gets away from itself. But it's the only major release I can think of that deals with domestic terrorism head-on. I don't know that major studios would touch that nowadays.
