And you're flying that plane. It's not gonna end well. You ever see the movie Con Air? Except here's the difference - the people in Con Air were actors"
neutral · AI labelView post →Reminds me of another film about a father just looking to get home to his wife and child (Con Air).
neutral · AI labelView post →CON AIR is an Easter movie
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching CON AIR for the first time. This certainly is a movie!
neutral · AI labelView post →The most plausible movie is Con-Air. It’s just so plausible!
positive · AI labelView post →Con Air (1997) Directed by Simon West
neutral · AI labelView post →Without saying Con Air, fav Nicolas Cage Film?
neutral · AI labelView post →If you start the 1996 Simon West directed film “Con Air” right now, Nicolas Cage will be reunited with his family as Trisha Yearwood’s “How Do I Live” plays in the background right as the first of today’s NFL games kicks off.
neutral · AI labelView post →Absolutely everybody in CON AIR is speaking with a fake accent except John Cusack. It might as well be a muppet movie where he’s the only human.
negative · AI labelView post →I initially agreed with this but then realized I would go to a screening of Con Air in which the crowd said every single line aloud in unison with the film. Hell, I’d probably go twice
positive · AI labelView post →Watched Con Air. That was. A movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →The Rock (like, to a lesser degree, Con Air) is proof you can make a stereotypical 90s action movie but still have intelligent writing
positive · AI labelView post →The best movie of the 21st century is Con Air.
positive · AI labelView post →Supports criminal justice reform but also loves the film Con Air.
neutral · AI labelView post →Come Monday, Hollywood can make a sequel to Air Force One and Con-Air: All in one movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →I think Con Air might still be my favorite Nicolas Cage movie. He spoke like Elvis the entire movie for no reason.
positive · AI labelView post →Watching Con Air on a hotel TV and the movie is like 4 hours long with commercial breaks and it just feels so right. Christopher Nolan can have IMAX, I have Con Air on a hotel tv.
positive · AI labelView post →originally read this as "a $45m thriller starring Nicolas Cage AS the director of Con Air" and now that i see what it really says i'm incredibly disappointed. the thieves can keep the movie, i don't give a shit anymore
neutral · AI labelView post →Con Air (1997) Directed by Simon West
neutral · AI labelView post →Controversial opinion: I've rewatched both The Rock and Con Air, and I've come to accept that I think the latter is superior. It's just so much more fun and even more crazy. The casting was a stroke of genius. This movie does not take itself seriously for a second but everyone plays it just right.
positive · AI labelView post →Saturday hustle - watching the greatest movie ever while I work. Con Air
positive · AI labelView post →you're misunderstanding, they don't mean window units, that is how the 1997 classic Nicolas Cage movie "Con Air" was advertised in the UK. a nationwide airing of Con Air on all networks for the entirety of the summer, no matter how cool that movie is, it will not bring ambient temps down

neutral · AI labelView post →People forget that in the celebrated film “Con Air,” the real villain was the D.E.A.
positive · AI labelView post →What the hell, Tim? Con Air is a fine film.
positive · AI labelView post →Con Air is the greatest film ever made, though, maybe she doesn’t want high art this time on a Sunday
positive · AI labelView post →Heads up @thedigitalbits.bsky.social readers: Simon West’s CON AIR (1997)—a Touchstone film controlled by Disney (and distributed by Sony)—is now available for streaming and purchase in #4K Digital on iTunes & elsewhere. Hopefully, a 4K disc is coming soon too. (And more Touchstone films!)

positive · AI labelView post →"Oh boy, he's talking about my favorite 90's action movie, Con Air again!" -Tim Walz probably
positive · AI labelView post →Coming this summer: Watch Con Don and his cabinet of felons take flight to Leavenworth! This time, Con Air arrives at its destination safe and sound, and movie goers will get to witness every step as the Con Air passengers are led through the gates of the federal penitentiary...👏🏾👍🏾❤️😅👇🏾

positive · AI labelView post →Works done, time for a movie! Tonight's randomly selected movie is... Nice, time to complete the Cage 90s action trilogy Con Air, 1997
neutral · AI labelView post →I forgot how many actors were in Con-Air Honestly an ensemble cast. And a good movie, imo.
positive · AI labelView post →Reminds me of that movie Con Air
neutral · AI labelView post →Jon Moxelys new character reminds me of the 1997 action film Con Air villian Cyrus "The Virus" Grissom, a intelligent & ruthless career criminal who masterminds a hijacking. Moxely has those traits but hes even more cold & calculating than the Con Air villian. I recommend Con Air. Great movie.

neutral · AI labelView post →If 'Con Air' had been a UK film would it have been called 'Jet Lags'?
neutral · AI labelView post →@sheaserrano.bsky.social killed it AGAIN with today's Good Movie (about Con Air, perhaps the greatest dumb action movie in existence). My big question: what's it going to take for him finally to do Detective Pikachu? My magnum opus cries out to be Serrano'd!
positive · AI labelView post →The rock. a perfect combination of writer, director, star and co-star. Dude has never seemed as comfortable being weird as fuck in a mainsream movie as here and in Con Air.
neutral · AI labelView post →"You ever see the movie Con Air?," asks President Trump as he explains why those who are being deported in US military aircraft to South America need to be shackled.
neutral · AI labelView post →Movies made around 2005 - 2008 are objectively old movies, theyre 20 years old at this point. But if youre watching Batman Begins, lets say, it doesnt look as old as a film from the 90s, like Con Air. Movies stopped aging visually at some point.
neutral · AI labelView post →I could recite all the lines in this movie. I love Con Air.
positive · AI labelView post →The Rock was just on AMC, what a perfect stupid movie I've noted this before, but The Rock, Face/Off, and Con-Air all released within 53 weeks of each other, Nic Cage was on a legendary all-time heater
neutral · AI labelView post →I dunno how to answer “without saying your age what is your favorite movie from the year you turned 18” as that’s a fave “variety of cool ass movies” year. Selena Con Air Face/Off Hoodlum B*A*P*S Soul Food The Game Love Jones Men In Black Air Force One Good Will Hunting My Best Friend’s Wedding
neutral · AI labelView post →Filling my cultural hole… Tonight’s movie… Con Air. Utterly insane cast:
neutral · AI labelView post →In the film Con Air, John Malkovich points a gun at the pilot's head. The Pilot says "if you shoot me there will be nobody to fly the plane." John Malkovich replies "I don't think that far ahead." That is where we are. There is no point imagining rational attempts at solutions. #r4today

neutral · AI labelView post →Con Air and Wild at Heart are the same movie
neutral · AI labelView post →Con Air is a movie about having fun with your friends from work
positive · AI labelView post →another first time seeing a film in 2026: Con Air! big dumb fun with an electric guitar that WOULD NOT QUIT but I was SO distracted by the shit advice of the lawyer at the start of the movie that I could not take Nicholas Cage's character seriously now, Colm Meaney's character, on the other hand,
neutral · AI labelView post →HOW IS THIS NOT A MUPPET MOVIE WHERE CUSACK IS THE ONLY HUMAN?!?! I would watch the ever living Con Air out of that.
neutral · AI labelView post →Con Air not revealing their Steve Buscemi until 45 minutes in is a shocking show of restraint for a movie like that
neutral · AI labelView post →today’s the day i introduce my gen alpha babies to the 1997 American classic film Con Air, starring America’s sweethearts Nic Cage & Steve Buscemi, in an academic setting. 🙌🙌
positive · AI labelView post →#MovieMadness Day 28 Movie I like from a genre I don't usually like Con Air - really don't normally like or watch action movies, but enjoyed this one (it is still ridiculous though) m.imdb.com/title/tt0118...
