jonattonyeah I’d argue he was a better actor than they are. Those guys were often playing variations of themselves as entertaining as they were. Their cool charisma made them more iconic

Agreed. Hurt never quite had that truely iconic role like a Scarface or a Raging Bull or a One Flew. He just nailed part after part after part. Broadcast News is an incredible film but it’s not exactly in the zeitgeist when people bring up ’80’s movies.
He was robbed for History of Violence. Completely crushed that one.
zackster he was in the movie for about 5 minutes and stole it. HOW CAN YOU FUCK THAT UP?!
jonattonyeah for once, the Oscars called it right. Got three successive best actor noms in the mid to late 80’s which is going some

Probably because Commando blew it out the water.
Millsy wait what?
Homegrove because George Cloony was getting that Oscar no matter what. Total bullshit.

That’s not fair to William Hurt.
Commando and Cobra are masterpieces.
That’s like getting angry at a basketball player for not being Michael Jordan.
Can I shock you?
I haven’t seen Cobra.
It’s not good but also perfect. Whoever edited the fucking thing did a terrible job. The story makes absolutely no sense. Stallone mumbles through the entire thing. It’s one of my favs.
Smallman1 You’ve done alright mate.
jonattonyeah That scene….
jonattonyeah Going off those clips it does look like one of those films that could be so shit it’s great. Arnie definitely won the Arnie Vs Stallone thing in the 80s though.

2005 was without a doubt the basement for the Oscars and that’s really saying something.

The entire thing is great. This part in particular where the mic is so unbelievably obvious when he rips the shirt. Not just once, but twice.
The most under appreciated aspect of Cobra is that he constantly puts a gun he’s just fired into his waistband against his dick.
Always liked that he hides his gun cleaning kit for absolutely no reason.

Made me laugh!
