100 Greatest Movies of All Time...That I Own. # 87 ~ In the Line of Fire


Time for Clint Eastwood's turn on the list.  As I mentioned before, he just missed making the list with Kelly's Heroes.  Also falling on the other side of 100 movies would have been the very fun (and a little sad) romp, Space Cowboys.

But here, Eastwood plays a Secret Service Agent who gets another crack at protecting the big guy.  Apparently he wasn't so successful back in the day, as Kennedy fell while on his watch.

Oops!

But now, he's older..maybe wiser...but definitely older.

However, not so old that Rene Russo doesn't fall for the guy. 

Naturally, the awesomeness of a thriller often is in direct proportion to how villainous the bad guy is.

Who better to chew scenery against Eastwood than John Malkovich, the deranged looney who is out to kill the President.

Will Eastwood save the day this time, or will a second President fall during his tenure?

You'll have to watch to find out, and it's a great chance to see Eastwood at the top of his game, a place he's been for a few decades now.
