Sleepers, the next spot on my 200 favorite #movies list seems to be a forgotten movie from the 90s but it left an impression on me, particularly Kevin Bacon as the villain. #filmsky

De Niro plays a priest and there’s a scene where one of the men is telling him their story … (cont.)

I could do so much more damage by staying. I'd lose my cases while proving other crimes committed by DOJ: see the movie Sleepers.
neutral · AI labelView post →This scene from the #movie Sleepers is one of the most brutally terrifying. In it, two highly feared #crime figures, unmasked, in a bar filled with witnesses, pull out their guns, and execute a retired prison guard. The 1996 movie Sleepers is based on Lorenzo Carcaterra’s 1995 bestselling #book.

positive · AI labelView post →I have seen several films a gang of times most people will find weird. I watch movies like "Sleepers", "Once Upon A Time In America" & "The Dark Knight" the way others might watch "Ferris Bueller's Day Off", "When Harry Met Sally" & "You've Got Mail"... A "comfort" movie for me is "The Warriors".

neutral · AI labelView post →Tonight’s Film Selection🎬🎞️🎥: Going back almost 30 years for Barry Levinson’s rather grim “Sleepers”. Chock full of some really great performances from a huge all-star cast.
positive · AI labelView post →"Winter Sleepers". I'd been blown away by "Run Lola Run" and was excited to see Tom Tykwer's other work; this movie was fascinating, but (for me at the time) deeply unsatisfying. (Though when "Memento" came out, it felt oddly familiar!) Tom Tykwer returned to form with "Babylon Berlin" - so good!
neutral · AI labelView post →(I feel A LOT less weird about putting the 'comfort watch' label on this one than I do about, say, 'Sleepers'. Which is a comfort watch TO ME because it's a good movie I've watched many times since 1996, but it's also about child abuse and Kevin Bacon at his absolute Baconest 😬)
positive · AI labelView post →Field of Dreams was a good movie. It may be his best. The Untouchables was a good movie for its time, but its significance was in tying up loose ends for playing 6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon. (I mean, Connery and Deniro in the same movie!) It unfortunately lost that significance when Sleepers came out.
neutral · AI labelView post →Rewatching Sleepers in 4k. The film does look good in 4K. Especially the early scenes of summer in Hell's Kitchen, where you really feel the innocence of youth getting stolen and giving way to the darkness. Kevin Bacon is so evil in this. #filmsky

neutral · AI labelView post →28 years ago, WINTER SLEEPERS changed the game. A year later, RUN, LOLA, RUN proved Tom Tykwer wasn't a fluke. Both films "informed" MEMENTO in a way that bothered me while I was still in the theater viewing the 2001 hit. I was annoyed w/ the friends I'd seen it w/ for liking it. This reviewer knew:
neutral · AI labelView post →A basic rule of #movie lovers: after drama MUST come a comedy, particularly a drama as heavy as Sleepers. And nothing cheers my heart more than the Little Tramp. I remember seeing his films with dad as a kid and being entranced by how funny he was. #watchingtonight: the Gold Rush. #GreatMovies
neutral · AI labelView post →I have a theory. Is everyone familiar with he movie Sleepers?
neutral · AI labelView post →The movie Sleepers was purported to be true. Great movie either way.
positive · AI labelView post →It reminded me of the book and film ‘Sleepers’ in which the four friends pinch a burger stall and the mischief ends them up in a detention centre.
neutral · AI labelView post →Rewatch: Sleepers (1996)
neutral · AI labelView post →I’m hoping more than speculating, but Sleepers is a film with a long out-of-print/unexpanded score by John Williams (one of his last non-Spielberg/franchise works). Would be cool to see and hear a reissue!

neutral · AI labelView post →Re: MOBLAND. Hmm. On the fence. 3 episodes in and Hardy’s Harry is the ultimate cleaner but it seems many storylines appear to be pulled/are a mashup of previous works. I sense the movie SLEEPERS on the horizon. Will give it another episode but cannot recommend nor apply a mustache rating as of yet.
neutral · AI labelView post →It is a great concert! Leningrad Cowboys are a Finnish group created by Director Aki Kaurismäki and comedy band Sleepy Sleepers. Not Russian in spite of their name. There’s a great film, Leningrad Cowboys Go America, starring them. They’re closer to Spinal Tap or even the Monkees than the B-52s!
neutral · AI labelView post →Rewatching: Sleepers. In 1996 when it was released, there was controversy as to whether this was a true story or not. The first half of the film with the young cast is excellent. It's the second half with the older actors that it sags but the first half carries it. #filmsky #physicalmedia
neutral · AI labelView post →A little explanation for why I took a picture of Ron Eldard on my TV: I was trying to figure out why his character on E.R. suddenly had a mustache and sideburns. Turns out he was filming the movie Sleepers (1996) at the time.

neutral · AI labelView post →The movie Sleepers is pretty close. All star cast too. Buncha dudes who were abused by a sadistic juvenile detention guard are reunited in adulthood after one of them, who is now a DA, gets assigned the case when the other two murder the guard.
positive · AI labelView post →Sleepers was a stunning movie...
positive · AI labelView post →Sleepers. Only film I've ever wandered out of for a smoke. If there'd been a pub nearby I wouldn't have gone back in
negative · AI labelView post →Sleepers. The movie where Kevin Bacon is a guard of a boy's detention centre and he abuses them then the boys grow up and get revenge.
neutral · AI labelView post →Sleepers (1996). Has the feel of a movie made a decade earlier. Stellar cast. Said to be based in truth, although the authorities deny this - not surprising and doesn't hold much water when you consider the subject matter. Loses its way a little towards the end, but still outstanding #FilmSky
neutral · AI labelView post →Random movie for @thisweekingeek.net called Sleepers from the 90s on 4K I am super impressed with it. Fantastic cast and amazing performances
positive · AI labelView post →Sleepers was a great courtroom movie.
positive · AI labelView post →Sleepers. It’s a movie I have had to erase from memory and now that I have dug it up again to warn people away from it I plan to bury it again.
negative · AI labelView post →Sleepers(1996) was really good film & clever how it worked it out.
positive · AI labelView post →I heard Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons' 'Walk Like A Man' the other day, and I've been thinking of the final scene in Sleepers since. It's a brilliant film, with an amazing cast. I haven't seen it in years, and will be rectifying that this weekend. #FridayFilmPicks #FilmSky

neutral · AI labelView post →I'm hoping something like the movie "Sleepers" happens. Where these law firms "work" undermines what the regime is trying to do.
neutral · AI labelView post →The movie Sleepers. Incredibly heavy, moving, tragic, and yet throughout it all it was about friends who shared an incredible bond, and would do anything for each other. This scene where the 5 of them unknowingly spend their last dinner together has always stuck with me. Friends for life.
