34 of 34 · most liked first@jamellebouie.net & John Ganz discuss one of my favorite mid-tier political thrillers. "Murder at 1600" is a perfect afternoon movie. A fun conversation!
positive · AI labelView post →Patel: "There is no movie like what happened tonight" Me: Murder at 1600 (1997): This film specifically uses a White House state dinner as the backdrop for a murder that occurs within the mansion's private areas, leading to a lobby-style investigation and security lockdown.

neutral · AI labelView post →This is a movie, Murder at 1600 starting Wesley Snipes. Not funny. Not cute. And all too fucking likely given the occupants.
negative · AI labelView post →Watch to the end. Im also hearing about an entire TV series on the same topic. There are many examples but the movie "Murder at 1600" fits this to a T.

(They almost followed the script the only difference they didn't lockdown.)
neutral · AI labelView post →I was happier when Murder at 1600 was just a movie.
negative · AI labelView post →it's completely stupid but I love his trailer line for "Murder at 1600" (not in the movie): "I've got a murder at 1600 pennsylvania avenue.. an address that changes all the rules"
positive · AI labelView post →Okay the movie of this *absolutely must* have a trailer exactly like the one for the 1997 thriller MURDER AT 1600 where Wesley Snipes stands outside the White House and says "I've got a murder at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue... an address that changes all the rules." (except sub in "exorcism" ofc)
neutral · AI labelView post →Thanks to the wonders of Tubi I decided to put on the 1997 Wesley Snipes film Murder at 1600. In the opening scene a suicidal man says he works for the Interstate Commerce Commission. The ICC was replaced by the Surface Transportation Board in 1995 so this film is explicitly a period film.
neutral · AI labelView post →I worked in a movie theater that showed the Murder at 1600 trailer. He had a great zinger to end that trailer that would elicit a similar response. (Snipes on the White House lawn, radioing back to the station:) I’ve got a murder at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave; _an address that changes all the rules_
neutral · AI labelView post →Listen folks, I’m just gonna come right about and say it and I don’t care whose feathers this ruffles I think the 1997 movie Murder at 1600 is a damn fine movie. Damn fine.
positive · AI labelView post →the call girl claiming to be from kentucky in the movie, Murder at 1600, is clearly from texas... 😑
negative · AI labelView post →It is from the movie MURDER AT 1600, making this one of the ultimate leo_pointing.gif moments in 90s cinema
neutral · AI labelView post →Tonight's distraction movie is Murder at 1600 (1997) starring Wesley Snipes, Diane Lane, Ronny Cox and Alan Alda. I borrowed a DVD with multiple Wesley Snipes movies from the library. I do love a good political thriller.
positive · AI labelView post →NW: Murder at 1600 (1997) This movie rips & I love the cast! NOT you, Dennis Miller.
positive · AI labelView post →what's a movie less than 60% on rotten tomatoes that you consider to be a perfect movie? like not a bit, genuinely perfect film. The vast majority of the Wesley Snipes catalog: Boiling Point 17% Murder at 1600 32% Blade Trilogy 58%, 57%, 24% Passenger 57 30% US Marshals 30% Rising Sun 33%

neutral · AI labelView post →1. Sneakers 2. Working Girl 3. Who the hell is Daniel Bruhl 4. I don't know but I feel sorry for Brad Pitt 5. Murder At 1600, which is a weird movie because it was regarded as ridiculous at the time, and now it's "multiple horrific crimes by the guy in 1600 across state lines"
neutral · AI labelView post →Quite a lot of ground-- with Six Pack being such a bonkers movie. Bit of a shame Murder at 1600 couldn't have snuck in there...
neutral · AI labelView post →Martial Arts Monday #32 Rapid Fire (1992) The last film Brandon Lee completed in his lifetime, this time directed by Dwight H. Little, who mostly pumped out sequel nonsense (Halloween 4, Anacondas, Free Willy 2), but also made the pretty good Murder at 1600
neutral · AI labelView post →It's beginning to look like a Tom Clancy novel or a political thriller movie like Murder at 1600
neutral · AI labelView post →Yeah! Murder at 1600 was a fun movie
positive · AI labelView post →Odd suggestion: everybody go watch and then talk about the movie Murder at 1600 Then watch MAGA media freak out when the term Murder at 1600 starts trending out of nowhere

neutral · AI labelView post →Dwight Little also did a crap ton of Steven Segal Movies AND Murder at 1600 so this makes the Free Willy 2 choice WAY MORE BAFFLING to me. Who do we get to direct this cutes-y family movie sequel about a Boy and His Killer Whale Best Friend?. Guy who directed Halloween 4? PERFECT!!.
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching Murder at 1600....aye man Wesley run from like 1988-1999 is the greatest movie run where for an actor/actress....straight HEAT
positive · AI labelView post →Been thinking about it but I really need to watch Murder At 1600 again soon. Great detective movie and Snipes is awesome in it.
positive · AI labelView post →I remember when Murder at 1600 came out to video (not exactly sure why I still remember this). It was the quickest movie I had ever seen go from one to the other. Usually it was ≈4-6 months after the theater to hit HBO Saturday night debut (or video store). That anticipation to see it again...whew.
neutral · AI labelView post →Murder at 1600 is a film that has a lot of resonance now because it’s about an ineffectual president messing up an international crisis when his dipshit failson may or may not have murdered someone
