    The HARD RAIN blu-ray is 42 dollars snd it seems rude to charge more for a movie than it made in theaters. (I went on opening night so I can make that joke.)

    Hard Rain with Morgan Freeman and Christian Slater! Not even remotely a GOOD movie, but definitely a FUN movie that's stuck in my head for years. Bank robbers take advantage of a flood evacuation to pull off a heist and things go wrong. Shocking, I know.

    I was not a Colin Quinn fan when he did Weekend Update but I do remember when this came out he had a good one: "Christian Slater was allowed to be released from jail to attend the premiere of his new movie Hard Rain. After watching 20 minutes, he asked to be returned to his cell."

    Been taking a deep dive on Dylan lately. Was surprised to find there's a movie out right now about his life. My favorite material is his stuff from the mid 70's. The albums Desire, Hard Rain, Planet Waves and the Rolling Thunder Review all hit hard and seem completely relevant today. Good stuff!

    Feel like you have to review films like ROADKILL with a different metric. It's a shame the HARD RAIN calculator is broken, but it would have received zero points due to a lack of rain, Christian Slater or jetski chase.

    Hard Rain (1998) with Christian Slater, Morgan Freeman, Minnie Driver. An incredible film that I have seen many times, even wanted to start working on a video game in this setting and plot, but decided that I needed something simpler first (sci-fi puzzle). I hope that will happen

    Hard Rain (1998) is one I go back to with awe. It wasn't well regarded back in the day; just another "Die Hard in a..." type film, in this case "Die Hard in a Flood". And you watch it now and it's fucking phenomenal that they filmed it like they did, this whole underwater town in a tank.

    Mom watched a bunch of disaster movies & #Justified awhile back so of course she needed to see action/disaster/crime thriller #HardRain (written by Graham Yost!) which I maintain is much better than its low critic scores.

    Hard Rain (1998) far-fetched, and moments like robbers showing up on jet skis push it into the realm of the ridiculous. The cast is stronger than you’d expect for a film of this nature, and Betty White and Randy Quaid bring some genuine humor. 4/10, @letterboxd.social review below. boxd.it/9q44SZ

    Last year at a film festival I got to see the "Hard Rain" version of this (cut from broadcast), which I could not find online, but I think it's significant because Baez doesn't sing on it, where she does sing on this one. Upset with the lyrics change? Just tired of Bob at that point?

    Was supposed to get a thunderstorm tonight, but as usual, it bypassed me. To make up for that, I'm going to watch the ultimate action film that is set entirely during a storm with Hard Rain. An absolute travesty that the only one I can currently watch it is via a DVD from 2001, though. #FilmSky

    Hard Rain (Mikael Salomon, 1998). Action/disaster film. A small Indiana town is flooded. A crook (Morgan Freeman), a security guard (Christian Slater), a sheriff (Randy Quaid) and a lady restoring a church (Minnie Driver) try to survive and/or pull off a robbery. Silly but entertaining. #FilmReviews
