Posted this on the Druzzil Ro forums, but I thought I'd post it here as well.
For the next few days Hulu (http://www.hulu.com/videos/search?query=No+Way+Out) is showing a classic 80s movie, "No Way Out (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093640/)."
Like him or hate him it was one of Kevin Costner's breakout movies and he's great in the part. Cast against him is Gene Hackman, and the movie also stars Sean Young, a woman who I consider to be one of the classic 80s-style beauties (the 80s had this strange fascination with big hair and farm-girl wholesomeness, and Sean Young pegs it very well).
Note: If you don't remember her, Sean Young was also in Blade Runner, Dune and Wall Street (and Stripes!)
If you've never seen the movie it's amazingly nerve wracking in a low-violence, old-school suspense sort-of-way. I will warn you, the movie starts slow - sometimes painfully slow, since the first third of the movie is sort of backstory, but once the plot gets moving it gets absorbing.
Like I said, it's on Hulu (http://www.hulu.com/videos/search?query=No+Way+Out) for a couple more days, so give it a watch, it's worth it. I'm curious to discuss the movie.

P.S. If you need a refresher on the 80s, please feel free to Rickroll yourself (http://www.yougotrickrolled.com/).
P.P.S. Sorry. But seriously, please watch the movie.
