The Hunt for Red October Discussion Thread

[KaiserDave]

Such a great film, thought I'd just do an appreciation thread because it's so wonderful. One of my favorite movies-ever.

The acting, the music, the plot, all incredible. Such an all star group. So many iconic lines and moments.

Money is quite explicable.

"Comrades this is your Captain,

I its an honour to speak to you today and I am honored to be sailing with you on the maiden voyage of our motherland's most recent achievement. And once more, we play our dangerous game. A game of chess against our our old adversary, the American Navy. For 40 years, you fathers before you and your elder brothers played the game and played it well. But today the game is different, we have the advantage. I reminds me of the heady days of sputnik and Yuri Gagarin, when the world trembled at the sound of our rockets. Well they will tremble again at the sound of our silence. The order is, engage the silent drive...

Comrades our own fleet doesn't know our own potential. They will do everything possible to test us. But they will only test their own embarrassment. We will leave our fleet behind. We will pass through the American patrols, pass their sonar nets, and lay off their largest city, and listen to their, rock and roll. While we contact missile drills. And when we are finished the only sound they will hear is out laughter. While we sail to the Havana, where the sun is warm and so is the... comradeship. A great day comrades. We sail into history."

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

Wonderful film.

Great film and the inspiration for my favorite username of mine: “The Hunt for the Red October Surprise”
