positive · AI labelView post →I first saw Sneakers in college. The year was 1992 and I was 17. They did a special screening on campus because Lawrence Lasker was an alum. Anyway, it was the first movie I saw Robert Redford in and it was CINEMA. Best movie ever. RIP to that handsome unproblematic man.
positive · AI labelView post →when Sidney Poitier died in 2022, I wrote about how "Sneakers" is one of my favorite movies of all time-and holds up terrifically well for a 30+ year-old techno-thriller. with Robert Redford's passing, I am again imploring you to watch this perfect movie: www.actioncookbook.com/you-guysll-b...
positive · AI labelView post →Sneakers (1992) is sort of a wild movie to remember exists. Robert Redford and Sydney Poitier star in a cyberpunk heist thriller, entire cast is full of Oscar Nominees (like literally the *entire* main cast)
neutral · AI labelView post →33 years ago this month, the movie Sneakers hit theaters. 🕵️♂️💻 The studio even shipped a floppy disk press kit that reporters had to "hack" into for bios & production materials. www.mentalfloss.com/article/5029... 💾 Explore this rare relic on the Internet Archive: archive.org/details/Snea...
neutral · AI labelView post →Sad to hear the news about Robert Redford. He is going to be remembered for many positive things, in addition to his movies. As a journo, All the President’s Men is a classic. As a digital nerd, Sneakers is my movie.
positive · AI labelView post →it’s Sneakers and it isn’t particularly close perfect cast, perfect movie
positive · AI labelView post →see: the movie SNEAKERS.
neutral · AI labelView post →Heard someone mention the movie Sneakers so I’m going to have to watch Sneakers again. One of the all time great movie casts: Robert Redford, Sidney Poitier, River Phoenix, Dan Ackroyd, Sir Ben Kingsley, James Earl Jones, Howard Tobolowsky. One of the great hacker heist movies
positive · AI labelView post →After Robert Redford passed away, started reserving some of his movies from the library for the family to watch. We did Sneakers a few weeks ago. Tonight we watched The Sting. Some of it is a bit dated, but mostly holds up as a movie.
positive · AI labelView post →James Earl Jones was excellent in Shakespeare performances and in Star Wars, but some of y'all are missing his goated performance in Sneakers. Truly incredible range.
neutral · AI labelView post →SNEAKERS. A movie I’ve seen maybe more than any other. Anchored by a perfect PERFECT movie star performance. You’ve no shortage of good options when it comes to honoring Redford’s legacy. Maybe even “better” options. But this is my favorite.
positive · AI labelView post →SNEAKERS is such a great movie. It feels like a movie made to cap off a 4-5 season TV show. That's how lived-in the world and characters feel. Even the score is ridiculously good. Everything about this movie just came together so perfectly.
positive · AI labelView post →Favorite Redford film for me is "Sneakers," a very 90s heist movie with an absolutely stacked cast and brilliant plot that never got the recognition it deserved. Though I can't say his outfits were all that memorable, he was brilliant in that movie.
positive · AI labelView post →plane landed right side up. watched Sneakers, a weird and kind of middling movie about schlubby hackers in the 90s

neutral · AI labelView post →Movie recommendation for tonight, Sneakers One of the best movies of the 90s in my humble opinion, and one of the greatest casts ever assembled, Robert Redford and Sidney Poitier? Dan Aykroyd, River Phoenix, Ben Kingsley, even James Earl Jones is in on the party, if you've not seen it, do so now!
positive · AI labelView post →You guys requested it, so now you get it. This week we are talking about a 90s film that eerily predicted the surveillance state. Join Historians At The Movies on Prime Video this Sunday, May 17 at 8pm for SNEAKERS. If you don't want #HATM to be a secret, make sure to share this post
neutral · AI labelView post →SNEAKERS: Still a perfect film. Not one scene out of place, every performance gracefully harmonic. This viewing I took in how long many of Robinson’s takes are, and the effortless complexity of the staging. Ben Kingsley’s work is wonderfully disruptive; odd, tragic, funny & frightening.
positive · AI labelView post →WE'RE DOING A VERGECAST SCREENING OF SNEAKERS IN NYC www.theverge.com/podcast/9055...
neutral · AI labelView post →Sneakers (1992) dir. Phil Alden Robinson 🎬 Time to rectify a glaring omission. #NowWatching #filmsky #moviesky #cinema
neutral · AI labelView post →No joke Sneakers has some of the best politics of any mainstream studio movie of my lifetime. Also it just rules.
positive · AI labelView post →Just in general, really, you should see the movie SNEAKERS
neutral · AI labelView post →If you haven't already, please do yourself a favor and watch my FAVORITE Redford movie - Sneakers: It's funny, has an amazing cast, and Redford at his best.
positive · AI labelView post →"Why are there 400 copies of the script of the movie 'Sneakers' in the training data?" "No reason!"
neutral · AI labelView post →Oh man. If you want a fun movie that holds up, try Sneakers. Watched with kids over the summer and it has a lot to say in 2025.
positive · AI labelView post →Happy "Hack the Planet" day to all those who celebrate 40 years ago today the movie Hackers was released. Definitely one of the best hacker movies out there. Sneakers of course being the best. :)
positive · AI labelView post →We are doing Sneakers this weekend for Film Sack, and I am very excited. Love this movie.
positive · AI labelView post →With Robert Redford having passed, I beg you all to watch Sneakers (1992), one of the most prescient movies in recent decades, and certainly the best hacker film ever made. Also it's very funny.
positive · AI labelView post →You've inherited a movie theater, what's your first double feature? A FISH CALLED WANDA (1988) and SNEAKERS (1992)
neutral · AI labelView post →For Patreon supporters, today we've got a new Shelved By Genre bonus episode on the uniquely 90s techno-caper film SNEAKERS, which we all had a great time watching: www.patreon.com/posts/126937...
neutral · AI labelView post →Thought about the movie Sneakers again which means I need to watch Sneakers
positive · AI labelView post →Sneakers is a movie that is a million times better than it needed to be.
positive · AI labelView post →a Mary McDonnell film fest=never a bad idea. In the last few months I've watched or rewatched Passion Fish, Sneakers, Independence Day (a fun film with the big mistake of underusing MM criminally), Dances With Wolves. I'm a horror wuss but she's also great in House of Usher. Turns out she can act!!
neutral · AI labelView post →The Sting, Sneakers, All the Presidents Men. Environmentalist, supporter of independent film makers, and drop dead gorgeous. RIP.
neutral · AI labelView post →My wife and I are looking for a husband to marry both of us, and if you are Robert Redford in the film Sneakers, you should apply within.
neutral · AI labelView post →Share a 90s movie you think deserves more love... Sneakers is the best hacker movie from the 90s (sorry Hackers and The Matrix). A fantastic ensemble cast with great chemistry, and except for a few little hand-waves it feels like the computer stuff is realistic. No CSI zoom and enhance bullshit.
positive · AI labelView post →Sneakers (1992) Directed by Phil Alden Robinson
neutral · AI labelView post →Sneakers is a fantastic movie, and not just because it's probably the most realistic portrayal of hacking (aside from the MacGuffin).
positive · AI labelView post →This is the plot of the awesome and underrated film SNEAKERS (1992).
neutral · AI labelView post →Man I hadn't even realized, Sneakers release date anniversary was five days ago, a 9/11 movie

neutral · AI labelView post →Whenever I see these machines I immediately think of the movie Sneakers.
neutral · AI labelView post →I love the movie Sneakers partly for this reason. Our Heroes are an eclectic group of good people.
positive · AI labelView post →Sneakers is still a perfect film, now it’s just so much sadder
positive · AI labelView post →"SNEAKERS is a film about a lot of things: personal privacy in the earliest days of the digital age, still-frosty international relations of the post-Cold War era, guys being dudes, and the ways in which the American government—to put it broadly—sucks." - @carriecourogen.bsky.social

neutral · AI labelView post →The best hacking film is Sneakers (1992). Robert Redford Ben Kingsley Sidney Poitier River Phoenix Dan Ackroyd David Strathairn James Earl Jones "We are the United States government! We don't do that sort of thing!" There aren't many security veterans left of that era.
