Air Force One

How often do you think Obama turns to someone on Air Force One and says "Get off my plane!" like Harrison Ford? Six, seven times a day?

It's hard to overstate just how exciting and also how terrifically absurd this is; a total parody of itself. You can cringe a bit at the endless lives expended to support a dubious foreign policy decision (though it's presented as a human rights one, ok, fine) and by extension the legacy of this politician, but whatever who cares get off my plane, this is one of the great exactly-what-it-says-on-the-box movies.

The single most neoconservative movie of the nineties. Renders the vision and philosophy of what would become the George W Bush administration in brilliant Wolfgang Peterson/Michael Balhaus style. Here we have the president commit to using American military power to confront any evil state or group in the world at any time for any reason and shortly thereafter actually becomes John McClane when "neo-communist" terrorists take his plane and family hostage. It goes without saying that President Marshall, by selfishly choosing at every turn to be a hero and remain in a hostage situation to "save his family", by not getting in the escape pod, and routinely placing his own life in the hands of terrorists, greatly harms the United States and almost leads to international disaster that could have been easily averted had he just not done any of that. Movies are messages from the future transmitted into the past.Regardless, I was pumping my fist in the air and shouting USA! USA! when our F-16s take out those MiGs on the tail of our beautiful national airplane.
