Bridge of Spies
Directed by Steven Spielberg
During the Cold War, the Soviet Union captures U.S. pilot Francis Gary Powers after shooting down his U-2 spy plane. Sentenced to 10 years in prison, Powers' only hope is New York lawyer James Donovan, recruited by a CIA operative to negotiate his release.

60 of 199 · most liked firstFully bought in on Disclosure Day now that I know it's at least a solid B-plus movie because nobody does a solid B-plus movie better than Spielberg. Bridge of Spies is possibly the best solid B-plus movie of the century.
positive · AI labelView post →Just a few years ago I watched the movie Bridge of Spies which, based on real events, dramatically portrayed the arbitrary Kafkaesque detention of American student Frederic Pryor by the evil Stasi and the unjust East German state. Well I guess we're the baddies now.
neutral · AI labelView post →I absolutely do not think that AI is his best movie but the writing is so good that I’m almost swayed. And Bridge of Spies and Catch Me If You Can are good and high.
positive · AI labelView post →Watched "Bridge of Spies" (2015) today. I quite liked it. I recommend watching it sometime too. If you know any other movies like it, feel free to recommend them. [TMDB](https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/296098-bridge-of-spies)

positive · AI labelView post →I talk a lot about the Democratic nominees who lost to liberal Republican Senator Jacob Javits in 1968 and 1974 (his old nemesis Paul O'Dwyer and former AG Ramsey Clark, respectively) but in 1962 he beat the lawyer-turned-negotiator Tom Hanks played in the movie Bridge of Spies.

Why I’m not sure because it was a brilliant. Hanks is always good, and Rylance says so much while say so little. Spielberg’s camera captures so much depth as always.

neutral · AI labelView post →Since Tom Hanks had his award from the West Point alumni association revoked, Im watching Bridge of Spies — a movie that would fly over Trump’s head given the integrity exhibited by the main character. Heck. He would want the Soviets and East Germans to keep the Americans they held.

neutral · AI labelView post →2015. Bridge of Spies. It is a GREAT movie. The climax (spoiler alert: on a bridge) is amazingly tense, with the movie expertly building up to it. Watch it if you haven't; rewatch it if you have. Otherwise - no argument. "Do you never worry?" "Would it help?"
positive · AI labelView post →If Disclosure Day is Spielberg's best film in 20 years, that means it's better than War Horse, Lincoln, Bridge of Spies, The Post, West Side Story and The Fabelmans. That's pretty damn good. 😲 Emily Blunt has won SAGs and got an Oscar nomination. #filmsky 📽️ variety.com/2026/film/ne...

A Few Good Men and Bridge of Spies given the Hallmark TV movie spin - but with a great Matthau turn as a country lawyer. It's not a great film, but I've seen better films I've liked a lot less.

positive · AI labelView post →My favorite movie adaption of any Le Carre work. Near the end, when Smiley enters his home and realizes his wife is there...that slight quiver/slump of relief..almost miss it if you aren't watching. Best performances are about the subtleties, e.g.Mark Rylance's Bridge of Spies. And yes, the eyes.

neutral · AI labelView post →Bridge of Spies is one of those super rewarding, eminently rewatchable 9-to-9.5-out-of-10 movie that one always hopes to stumble upon, but so rarely does. Absolutely an underappreciated gem.
positive · AI labelView post →THE FABELMANS is an all-timer. WEST SIDE STORY is solidly in the running for best film of the 21st century. Going a little further back, LINCOLN, BRIDGE OF SPIES, and THE POST are all aces.
positive · AI labelView post →This is a tough one! I’d probably go w/ Sleepless in Seattle as my most-watched Tom Hanks film & I do ❤️ it. Bridge of Spies (2015) is also very good.
positive · AI labelView post →BRIDGE OF SPIES - a movie about how sometimes doing your job is fucking impossible but you do it anyway.

neutral · AI labelView post →My thoughts, if you're so inclined: Munich is surprisingly low on that list; need to see Bridge of Spies ; sincerely doubt Spielberg has in him a better movie than Jurassic Park and a worse one than Ready Player One; I, too, do not hate Lost World (the hanging van is an all-timer).
neutral · AI labelView post →So many favourites! Apollo 13, Forest Gump, You've Got Mail, Bridge of Spies, The Post...more. I have the Mr. Rogers movie but haven't played it yet. No doubt about liking it too.
positive · AI labelView post →Couple of belated thoughts about #DisclosureDay. The first is it's the first Spielberg not edited by Michael Kahn since E.T, with Sarah Broshar (who co-edited all his films since Bridge of Spies) taking over, and you can tell, the movie is definitely faster than Kahn's later work.
