neutral · AI labelView post →Rewatching HARD RAIN reminds me of the @riskeadam.bsky.social observation that no armored car movie is bad
positive · AI labelView post →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.)
neutral · AI labelView post →Starting my 1998 prep for #FThisMovieFest not with soft rain, not with medium rain, but with HARD RAIN (Dir. Mikael Saloman) @fthismovie.bsky.social

His substack post covers his process & links to the full film. Idiot Wind - 5/23/1976 Fort Collins, CO youtu.be/8dxzGAuFITo #musicsky

neutral · AI labelView post →I hit my goal of one book a week for the year ahead of schedule, with 2.5 months to go. I'd have reached this point earlier but my Halloween horror movie marathon takes up a lot of time. Hard Rain Falling by Don Carpenter is my next read. One chapter in and I already quite like this. #booksky
neutral · AI labelView post →#ACentruyOfCinema continues, 1998: I missed HARD RAIN on its release & yeah, I dodged a bullet back then. It's Die Hard in the Wet, as armoured car driver Christian Slater is attacked in an evacuated, flooded town, by Morgan Freeman & his 3 stooges. #filmsky #actionsky
negative · AI labelView post →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.
neutral · AI labelView post →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."

neutral · AI labelView post →this isn’t fair, HARD RAIN is everyone’s favorite Morgan Freeman film
neutral · AI labelView post →Hard Rain Gonna Fall - Bob Dylan. After watching the movie I’ve been listening to all his old music for the first time in a long time.
neutral · AI labelView post →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!
neutral · AI labelView post →Random Movie Recommendation Day 21: Hard Rain (1998) A ridiculous '90s action movie that's a lowkey banger.
positive · AI labelView post →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.
neutral · AI labelView post →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
positive · AI labelView post →It's hard, because I think it's the only movie that features a jet ski chase through a school, so there can be only one perfect film and it is HARD RAIN
positive · AI labelView post →Hard Rain is not a great movie but it is something to see something where you can absolutely believe they flooded a whole town for their crime movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →Dear The Weather, I enjoyed the film Hard Rain but don't need to experience it, thank you.
neutral · AI labelView post →The "flooding of a city/dam breaking genre" seems severely underused. What was the last city flooded movie? Hard Rain? Regardless, I've never heard of this movie and I'm going look for it.
neutral · AI labelView post →Hard Rain is awesome. I saw it in a PACKED theater, packed with 3 other people. It was a crime because that movie is a TON of fun!
positive · AI labelView post →Help me out Bluesky. We are having a quiet Xmas and are planning a five star three star movie marathon for next week. The communal pick is Con Air, wife's pick is Hard Rain. What banger should I add to make this a trilogy?
neutral · AI labelView post →Yeah I've got the Japanese blu of Hard Rain but no NA Blu Ray release I think! It's a primo @arrowvideo.bsky.social type movie I think that would go gangbusters. It's a Paramount film so maybe that's why there's never been a good release.
neutral · AI labelView post →Given that Hard Rain is the greatest film of all time, I would find it hard to believe that Hurricane Heist would top it. It doesn't even have Christian Slater!
positive · AI labelView post →You know what Eddington doesn't have? Christian Slater, a jet ski race through a school or RAIN. Zero on the Hard Rain Movie Calculator
neutral · AI labelView post →29- what was the last movie you saw? I rewatched HARD RAIN (1998) a couple nights ago
neutral · AI labelView post →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.
positive · AI labelView post →just a year later we got another film of all time with Hard Rain (1998)
positive · AI labelView post →He pops up every now and again. I liked him in that serial killer movie by Renny Harlin, Mind Hunters and Hard Rain was awesome too!
positive · AI labelView post →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. Plus peak Christian Slater wet for 99% of the movie. youtu.be/Vsmt4B35hsM?...
positive · AI labelView post →Tonight's distraction movie is Hard Rain (1998) starring Christian Slater, Morgan Freeman and Minnie Driver. I love this ridiculous cat and mouse heist movie.
positive · AI labelView post →Without saying Hard Rain, fav Morgan Freeman film?
neutral · AI labelView post →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

neutral · AI labelView post →Everything in this Minnie Driver interview for Grosse Point Blank is golden. The Flood was ultimately titled Hard Rain and is an underrated disaster/heist film. #empireread #august1997
neutral · AI labelView post →"We sold HARD RAIN, then called THE FLOOD, at Paramount. My joke was, 'Yeah, us going back to Paramount after they put SPEED into turnaround? If we said we wanted to make a movie about a dog with fleas, they would have gone, 'Absolutely.''" open.spotify.com/episode/3fc1...

neutral · AI labelView post →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?
neutral · AI labelView post →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
positive · AI labelView post →I LOVE Heathers! This film marks the start of my favorite era of Christian Slater, from Heathers (1989) to Hard Rain (1998). All his films from that period are gems, some hidden, some shinning, some cult, all PEAK. . . . I'm sorry, what was the question?
positive · AI labelView post →Sitting on the porch watching the storm and explaining the plot of the movie Hard Rain to my dog. Real normal evening.
neutral · AI labelView post →Wow, we are giving rainless movies a 5-star HARD RAIN REVIEW now?! Film criticism really is dead.
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching Hard Rain & it’s as cheesy as I remember - thieves mug an armored truck stuck in an evacuated town in the midst of a deluge, good stuff 📽️🎞️

neutral · AI labelView post →This song takes me back to highschool! 😆 And it was in the movie Hard Rain with Morgan Freeman and Christian Slater.
neutral · AI labelView post →I remember I sat on that Hard Rain movie poster response for nearly a YEAR when Ryyudo had the "+R" tweet, being like "...is this my joke to make?" I still wonder that at times. Only mentioning that because I woulda posted this frame 1 if I'd seen it, no hesitation, that is *uncanny* XD
neutral · AI labelView post →I can’t tell you how much it delights me to hear you reference Hard Rain here. Love that movie so much.
positive · AI labelView post →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
neutral · AI labelView post →God, I watched the film "Hard Rain" not too long ago. Its just a heist movie in a flood, but has several plot twists. The only villain role I remember for Morgan Freeman, which he nails btw. Just a great action film with decent pacing. It doesn't lose your attention and action scenes are good.
positive · AI labelView post →Oh man Desperado and Hard Rain are real favourites among those even if there's not a bad movie you've mentioned there. I have a real soft spot for Banderas and Slater though.
positive · AI labelView post →Is there a “Hard Rain” movie equivalent for wind surfing instead of jet skis?
neutral · AI labelView post →Nonsense. It's a decent film and gets more and more fun the further on it goes. It's not Hard Rain, for God's sake.
neutral · AI labelView post →Hard Rain! Never has a movie had some much rain!
positive · AI labelView post →Watching Hard Rain and in this day and age it's pretty cool to see a movie involving such an extreme amount of practical water shots. Must have been hell to film
