Happy Birthday Lawrence Gordon: Here are some of his best produced movies of all time
Lawrence Gordon! The name itself is enough to remind us of all the magic he’s created on the big screen for his audiences for over four decades now. His action-packed movies, as well as other genres, find lovers among people of all ages! It is only fitting to give a tribute to this visionary legend on his 85th birthday by enlisting some of the best movies he’s been instrumental in making! Here you go:
Die Hard
This 1988 film followed by a sequel in 1990 and then another couple of sequels is a must-watch! It originated with Roderick Thorpe’s novel Nothing Last Forever and had created a storm upon its release. John McClane, the protagonist, is a police detective who comes to the rescue after a dramatic situation that plagues his surroundings during the merry time of Christmas. Symbols like Nakatomi Plaza from the film have been fan favorites for years now as they nostalgically associate him with this action-packed superhit film.
The Devil’s Own
Another film revolving around a policeman giving shelter to a notorious terrorist, this one is sure to keep you on the edge of your seats. With a stellar cast including Brad Pitt, Margaret Collin, and Harrison Ford this gripping marvel is definitely underrated.
Predator
This science-fiction horror movie went so well with the audiences’ taste that it kicked off what we know as the Predator franchise today. Arnold Schwarzenegger as a member of a paramilitary rescue team on a mission to rescue hostages became a trend in the hostage-drama genre.
Hellboy
A demonic warrior who you’d think would want to bring an end to humanity on earth fights to protest its people and combats an enemy of his own to save the Earth, this antithesis of a movie should not be missed! Apart from the gripping action scenes, it will also make you chuckle from time to time!
48 hrs
This 1982 buddy cop action comedy film has seen remakes across the world in several languages! An uptight cop who has to team up with a criminal to restore law and order by tracking down a killer in a span of 48 hours is filled with entertainment.
The weekend is near and you know what to watch this time!
