positive · AI labelView post →I saw a documentary on Charles Grodin last night on TCM. It was so interesting. I never knew about his advocacy work for prisoners. Then they played some of his movies. “Midnight Run” is the best buddy movie. I feel compelled to watch it whenever it’s on. De Niro & Grodin are great together.
positive · AI labelView post →Midnight Run (1988) 🎬🖤 Directed by Martin Brest
neutral · AI labelView post →I think I’ve raised my film cred with my son because I’ve shown him The Exorcist, Midsommar, Midnight Run, In Bruges, Risky Business, Rear Window, Tootsie and Rosemary’s Baby. Now I have to use that goodwill to show him Singing In The Rain and any movie made pre-1950.

Her favorite movie was Midnight Run, and whenever it came on the TV, she and I would watch it and we'd laugh uproariously throughout.
positive · AI labelView post →37 years after Midnight Run was released and now we miss Charles Grodin more than ever. 🎬 Check out one of our early podcast episodes about the movie here: moremovies.co.uk/podcast-epis... #filmsky #moviesky #cinema
neutral · AI labelView post →Was so pleased to get to return to the Blank Check podcast to talk for three hours about my favorite movie, Midnight Run. My only regret is that I couldn't stretch us into a fourth hour somehow. audioboom.com/posts/852831...
positive · AI labelView post →Couldn't be more excited to be back on @blankcheck.bsky.social this month to not only finally talk about a good movie, but about my favorite movie, Midnight Run.
positive · AI labelView post →When I was in film school, a screenwriting professor showed us Midnight Run as an example of a perfect script. It's a great action comedy with a stellar cast.
positive · AI labelView post →As good a film as I’ve always heard. Beautiful. Devastating. Needed something lighter after so I’m watching Midnight Run
positive · AI labelView post →Also, like Wonder Man bringing in Joe Pantoliano to talk about Midnight Run, then playing the theme to The O.C., there were several moments in this film that felt for just a second as if they had been chosen specifically for me.
positive · AI labelView post →Charles Grodin movie where he is the supreme annoyance: MIDNIGHT RUN. Truly one of the funniest fucking movies ever made, and a performance that ought to have been nominated for an Oscar.
positive · AI labelView post →"Midnight Run" is one of my all time favorites, and he made that movie!
positive · AI labelView post →Midnight Run is an all time movie. He’s perfect in it.
positive · AI labelView post →Mayday is a strange buddy movie, pairing Ryan Reynolds and Kenneth Branagh in a story that’s part Top Gun, part Midnight Run, part Yakov Smirnoff standup set.
neutral · AI labelView post →Film lessons learned today…. Films with ‘Midnight’ in the title are normally very good Midnight Run Midnight Special Midnight Cowboy Midnight in Paris Midnight Express Before Midnight * disclaimer is the word ‘normally’
positive · AI labelView post →So it’s a buddy movie. Think “Midnight Run” meets “I Am Sam.”

positive · AI labelView post →Just watched Silver Streak & realized that for decades now I’ve continually vaguely confused it with Midnight Run. The movie itself actually reminds me of Foul Play which was maybe my favorite film in the world when I was 8 years old so a good choice for a quiet Sunday.
neutral · AI labelView post →Last four - November's 1702 Film Crew picks Catch Me If You Can and Midnight Run, and two filmmaking documentaries, Megadoc (which I felt was lacking in direction), and Aliens Expanded, which is the most complete document of a film I've ever seen. #lastfourwatched #letterboxdfriday #letterboxd
neutral · AI labelView post →Doom movie. Silent protagonist Doom Guy and some rando UAC type who he has to keep alive for some reason, it's like Midnight Run but it's in a Martian UAC facility and actually gets that Doom's violence is Looney Tunes with blood.
neutral · AI labelView post →In their 30-year retrospective of the film, Rolling Stone called Midnight Run the "Casablanca of Buddy Comedies." To finish off, here’s some images from the glorious final moments between Walsh and The Duke. 30/30

positive · AI labelView post →Watched Midnight Run last night. It's a bit of an underrated classic. I swear that DeNiro smokes 200 cigarettes in that film. Throw in all the cigarettes Yaphet Kotto's character smokes and we can double that.

neutral · AI labelView post →John Ashton has died. One of those “seen him in everything” from MASH to Beverly Hill Cop actors always delivering a solid performance but can’t remember his name. My favorite Ashton role was as Bounty Hunter Marvin Dorfler in Midnight Run with Robert DeNiro and Charles Grodin. Fun movie. RIP
neutral · AI labelView post →I **liked** his Batman movie, but I'd rather have a RONIN or MIDNIGHT RUN.
neutral · AI labelView post →Recently watched "Midnight Run" again. There's a scene where Charles Grodin holds up a newspaper. Check out the headline. Now THAT is an old movie....
neutral · AI labelView post →Obsure YT of the day for Phil Hartman's birthday: In 1986, one year before MIDNIGHT RUN, Charles Grodin did a Roger Corman movie(!): LAST RESORT, w Megan Mullaly, Mario Van Peebles, John Ashton & Hartman! ok.ru/video/134070...
neutral · AI labelView post →Monday is the 38th anniversary of MIDNIGHT RUN. Back when it turned 25, I wrote about the film and my Mom's disdain for Charles Grodin. This was the last movie I saw in a theater with my parents. www.slantmagazine.com/film/summer-...
neutral · AI labelView post →If you asked me twenty years ago,"what was your favorite movie"? I'd have said tied between "Crimes and Misdemeanors" and "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles". That covered the human condition. Today i'd add "The Martian" and "Midnight Run..." First movie luvs? Cross ponds.

neutral · AI labelView post →It’s sad that Hollywood doesn’t make films like this anymore. Everything now is Marvel universe or DC universe or remakes nobody asked for. This film and ‘Midnight Run’ from 1988 are spectacular films that wouldn’t be made today. Oh what we have lost. #TCMParty #RunningonEmpty
neutral · AI labelView post →That’s the great thing about these budget dvd collections. You look at them and there’s always movies you didn’t even know existed. I defy anyone to name all four Midnight Run movies
neutral · AI labelView post →Late night heatwave library DVD is "Midnight Run" (1988). Balls out action buddy road trip mob heist film with heart, friendship, and morals, a smart, twisty noir comedy. How do screenwriters carry on in a world where this film exists. HOW
positive · AI labelView post →My ★★★★ review of Midnight Run on Letterboxd
positive · AI labelView post →Haha. The headline on the proof-of-life newspaper in MIDNIGHT RUN read “US and Canada sign historic trade accord.” That’s why they scheduled this movie now right? #tcmparty
neutral · AI labelView post →#defconmovienight is back tomorrow with the underrated comedy chemistry of Charles Grodin and Robert DeNiro in the comedy thriller ‘Midnight Run’. Join us at 8pm PDT in the movie-night-text channel of discord.gg/defcon. Potatoes lyonnaise optional, but we hear they’re quite delicious.

neutral · AI labelView post →Kotto said “Midnight Run was practically the most difficult movie I ever made; I was shocked when it came off so funny. It sure wasn't funny making it.” He also noted that Brest stopped eating during filming and began to look like something from a concentration camp. 7/30
neutral · AI labelView post →It would be nice to go on some film & TV (and game!) podcasts. I usually work in the shadows and rarely talk about my work, so less of a cool guest than Mike, but opinions - I got those. I also like talking about motorcycles and how Midnight Run is one of the best written films of the 80s.
positive · AI labelView post →Everyone should watch Midnight Run at least once. It's such a great example of a movie firing on all cylinders and getting every aspect exactly right
positive · AI labelView post →I don’t think I any movie has used the F-word as artfully as MIDNIGHT RUN. Just an amazing group of actors dropping increasingly amazing F-bombs.
positive · AI labelView post →Happy birthday, Mr. De Niro! Love this guy! Our favorite movie of his is Midnight Run. We have watched it too many times to count!
positive · AI labelView post →What's your favorite movie from each decade of your life? Can't tell me what to do 🙈 80s - Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Midnight Run, Blade Runner, Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back 90s - Jurassic Park, The Fugitive 00s - The Bourne Identity, Casino Royale 10s - The Revenant 20s - Dune
neutral · AI labelView post →Boba Fett was better when he was an epic loser with a cool spacesuit; they never should’ve tried to make him cool. The best possible Boba Fett movie would’ve been “MIDNIGHT RUN in space” with Fett in the Marvin Dorfler role.
