    I want to see Hudson Hawk again. Panned by the public and critics, but I remember quite liking it when the movie was released.

    HH not on any of the streaming services according to Justwatch.

    Only available to rent on Apple TV $5.99

    Seems like everyone else has wiped their hands of it.

    For those wondering why Bruce Willis was pumping out B/C-grade movies in recent years, he was obviously cashing in while he could.

    Bruce Willis ‘Stepping Away’ From Acting After Aphas...

    The actor’s family announced he is stepping away from his career after a recent diagnosis of aphasia.

    I prefer to remember the good ‘uns, there were a few

    They left out his best movie which is undoubtedly Pulp Fiction.

    Pulp was great. But are you forgetting a certain Die Hard movie?

    Don't get me wrong, it's one of my favourite movies. And Bruce was great. Right up there with his Dad's watch on the little kangaroo

    Yeah it’s the best movie he’s “been in” as opposed to “starred in” given JT and SLJ were in it more. I loved Bruces character even if he was doing nothing else but being Bruce.

    Then again Tarantinos knack for bringing out the best in actors is freakish.

    Die Hard is great fun but possibly a tad overrated given I don’t unconditionally love it as much as others seem to.

    Die Hard is awesome. Brilliant movie on many levels (action, comedy, romance, Christmas!) . But it's a standard genre done great.

    Pulp Fiction was ground breaking. I remember walking out of it at Uni and thinking "what the fuck did I just watch?". Multiple rewatches followed, and it gets better the more you watch it.

    Absolute classic movie, up there with The Matrix.

    Yeah the first of it’s type really ( well, I suppose Reservoir Dogs was but PF is better )

    SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO many imitators, has to be said that Guy Ritchie did a fucken good job with Lock Stock and Snatch though. Some of the others were very try hard and embarrassing.
