5 underrated Richard Donner movies you need to see

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

Richard Donner will forever be remembered as the filmmaker who created the blueprint for the modern superhero blockbuster with 1978’s Superman starring Christopher Reeve.

Yet that doesn’t tell even half the story of the Bronx-born filmmaker’s brilliant filmography.

Donner was in his late 40s by the time Superman came along, having made a name for himself in Hollywood two years earlier, with 1976’s suitably terrifying The Omen.

Prior to that, he was a budding director making the transition from the small screen to the world of cinema. Donner worked on everything from Gilligan’s Island to The Twilight Zone. Even then, it was clear he was destined for bigger things though, as anyone who saw  “Nightmare at 20,000 Feet”, the iconic episode of The Twilight Zone he directed, starring William Shatner, can attest.

While a disagreement with producers ultimately saw him walk away from Superman II, the 1980s saw Donner establish himself as an incredibly versatile big budget director capable of handling everything from the epic family adventure fun of The Goonies to the balancing act of action and comedy found within the buddy cop antics of Lethal Weapon.

It was a skillset that drew admiration from the very best in the movie industry, including Steven Spielberg who was among the first to pay tribute to Donner after learning he had passed away, aged 91.

“Dick had such a powerful command of his movies, and was so gifted across so many genres,” Spielberg, who worked with Donner on The Goonies, said.

“Being in his circle was akin to hanging out with your favourite coach, smartest professor, fiercest motivator, most endearing friend, staunchest ally, and – of course – the greatest Goonie of all.”

Donner may not have had the same impact in the 1990s and early 2000s but he still enjoyed major success with the Lethal Weapon franchise and as a producer with movies like Free Willy and X-Men.

More importantly, the other films he made during that period and in the years between some of his biggest hits remain well worth revisiting or seeking out for the first time – starting with these five.

Ladyhawke

Coming hot on the heels of The Goonies and two years prior to Lethal Weapon, Ladyhawke represented another major departure for Donner. A dark medieval fantasy, it centred on Rutger Hauer’s mysterious Captain Etienne Navarre and his female companion Lady Isabeau (Michelle Pfeiffer), a pair of star-crossed lovers on the run from a vengeful bishop who has placed a demonic curse on their heads. While Navarre transforms into a wolf by night, Isabeau exists as a Hawk by day. Teaming up with petty thief Philippe Gaston (Matthew Broderick) they embark on a quest to overthrow the evil bishop and break the spell.

Something of a passion project, Donner had attempted to get Ladyhawke off the ground several times before finally getting the green light from Warner Bros and 20th Century Fox in the mid ’80s. The film then suffered another setback when Kurt Russell, originally cast as Navarre, dropped out during rehearsals. 

That ultimately proved a blessing in disguise with Hauer going on to deliver arguably his best performance since Blade Runner. Not everything about Ladyhawke works – Broderick’s character feels a little too close to Ferris Bueller while the runtime could be trimmed down – but it remains a beautifully realised fantasy epic, full of memorable action set pieces, stunning cinematography and a spellbinding turn from Pfeiffer.

A box office bomb upon release, Ladyhawke has stood the test of time too, garnering a cult following as an authentic and fresh take on the sword and sorcery formula. 

Maverick

Maverick is the film Will Smith must have hoped Wild Wild West would be; a funny, clever action comedy based on a classic TV show. Coming in an era when most westerns were deadly serious, Donner’s film also felt like a breath of fresh air and benefited hugely from a masterful William Goldman script that was both witty and unpredictable.

The latest in a series of films featuring Donner’s muse-of-sorts, Mel Gibson, this time out Mel plays Bret Maverick, a brilliant card player and equally impressive con artist trying to collect enough money to earn a seat at a high-stakes poker game. Along the way he is forced to contend with a fellow scammer in the form of Jodie Foster’s Annabelle Bransford as well as lawman Marshal Zane Cooper, played by James Garner, who starred in the original TV series.

While the glut of cameos from country music stars and the likes of Danny Glover can be a little distracting, there’s something wonderfully charming about Maverick with Gibson, Foster and Garner all on top form and boasting an undeniable chemistry that helps keep things entertaining. 

The climactic poker game which sees Maverick face off against Alfred Molina’s psychopathic Angel is also expertly handled by Donner, who cranks up the tension as Maverick reveals his final, decisive, hand with a slow-motion toss of the final card towards the camera. A critical and financial success, Maverick has been largely lost in the shuffle since its release but should be sought out.

Conspiracy Theory

There’s something strangely prescient about Conspiracy Theory given the current predilection for such thinking on the internet at large. One of Donner’s most inventive and intelligent outings alongside Gibson, this time out Mel plays Jerry Fletcher, a New York City cab driver with a penchant for paranoid conspiracy theories.

Jerry’s life takes a turn for the strange when he finds himself being targeted by a set of shady government goons led by Patrick Stewart’s Dr Jonas. He quickly realises one of the conspiracies he has been promoting in his weekly newsletter (this was the ‘90s) is based more in reality than he thought. The question is: which one?

An engrossing thriller featuring Donner’s trademark dashes of witty humour, Conspiracy Theory is bolstered significantly by the presence of the ever-reliable Julia Roberts as a government lawyer with a soft spot for Jerry. Despite a lengthy run time, Donner also keeps the action moving along at an engaging pace while Gibson’s performance is just the right side of manic to keep you rooting for him.

A first foray into the kind of deep state conspiracy thrillers that were commonplace in Hollywood at the time, the film also boasts some genuinely striking moments, not least the sequence where Jerry undergoes “psychotic testing” at the hands of Dr Jonas, which wouldn’t have looked out of place in A Clockwork Orange.

Though it was a hit with audiences, Conspiracy Theory earned mixed reviews but appears increasingly worthy of reappraisal.

Timeline

Some movies are big, dumb but lots of fun. Timeline sits firmly in that category despite what many naysayers would have you believe. It’s a brash, simplistic sci-fi flick to rival the likes of The Core and Geostorm and thoroughly entertaining to boot.

The fact that it features Gerard Butler, as well as the late, great, Paul Walker only adds to that sentiment.

Walker plays Chris Johnston who, along with Butler’s Andre Marek and a team of fellow archaeologists travel back in time through a wormhole to 14th century France to rescue their professor, Dr Edward Johnston (Billy Connolly), who just happens to be Walker’s character’s dad too.

Based on a book by Michael Crichton, Donner had been in the running to direct Jurassic Park a decade earlier and jumped at the chance to adapt Timeline for the big screen. While filming went off without a hitch, Donner repeatedly clashed with Paramount Pictures in post-production and was forced to re-cut the film three times in a development that saw the release date pushed by nearly a year. The resulting edit did not sit well with Crichton either, who disliked it so intensely he stopped licensing his work for a few years after.

Whether Donner’s original cut would have earned better reviews or Crichton’s approval remains to be seen but what remains of Timeline is still a well shot, enjoyable sci-fi yarn with some neat medieval action flourishes. 

16 Blocks

Donner’s final film also ranks among his most unappreciated. On the surface, 16 Blocks sounds like the perfect fodder for a game of buddy cop movie bingo.

It stars Bruce Willis as Jack Mosley, a worn-out NYPD Detective with a drinking problem tasked with transporting Mos Def’s trial witness Eddie Bunker to court. Problems arise when some of Jack’s fellow officers arrive to kill Eddie and prevent him from testifying. Eager for redemption, Jack decides to take the would-be assassins on and get Eddie to court on time.

A formulaic enough premise, 16 Blocks is emboldened by the fact it plays out in real-time with Eddie required at the courthouse by no later than 10am. In this sense, Donner found himself in new territory with an action thriller that thrives on a unique sense of urgency. 

While the filmmaker is no stranger to the action formula, this setup sees him imbue events with a renewed sense of chaos, as Jack and Eddie fight their way through armed adversaries, busy crowds and bustling traffic, all against a cacophony of shouts, car horns and gun blasts.

Ostensibly a chase movie on foot rather than four wheels, the action traverses 16 blocks in 118 minutes and rarely lets up for a second with Donner proving a dab hand at balancing the action with the engaging back-and-forth between Willis and Def who are both understated yet effective throughout.

cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530", }).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796"); });

Throw in the ever-watchable David Morse as the leader of the shady cops baying for Eddie’s blood and you have arguably one of the most underrated action thrillers of the early 2000s

-What was the last song that you sang out loud? >> Part of Mirror Mirror by Blind Guardian. -If someone has bad breath, do you tell him or her? >> If they’re in such close proximity to me that I can smell their breath, then they must be close enough to me socially that I would care enough to tell them that they should pop a mint. -With which friend are you most likely to share a secret? >> --- -Do you have an item that comforts you when you are sad/scared? >> I have a bed full of plushies, so I tend to burrow into those. -When are you likely to hide your emotions? >> When aren’t I...?

Everyone else is suspect. -When was the last time that you watched the sun come up? >> I don’t remember. -What did you do last Halloween? >> We were in New Orleans, so we dressed up in our new tradgoth outfits and went walking around the Quarter for a bit, then went to Country Club for their Halloween party. And I had two absinthes, as a treat. :) -Last Thanksgiving? >> Went to the Wayland house, as usual. -Last Christmas - if you celebrate? >> Again, went to the Wayland house, as usual.

Shopping with Sparrow is fine, too. -What is one insecurity you have about your body? >> It doesn’t feel like mine and I’m tired of having to wear it. -What is one part of your body that you are proud of? >> --- -When was the last time someone told you to turn your music down? >> People don’t tell me that. -When you don’t know how to spell a word, do you look it up? >> Yep. -Are you one to spend a lot of time in the bathroom? >> No. I want to spend the least amount of time possible in there. -Have you seen the movie Super Size Me? >> No. -Do you still eat at McDonald’s, regardless of that film? >> I mean, that “docu” is totally a fraud, so, uh. (I never stopped eating at McDonald’s, and if I did, it wouldn’t be because of some movie.) -Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a different race? >> Briefly. -Do you ever consider the challenges other races go through? >> Well, sure. -When was the last time you doubted your abilities? >> *shrug* Always? -At your favorite restaurant, what do you order? >> --- -What was the last thing you wished for? >> I don’t wish for things. -How many times a day, on average, do you look at the time? >> I don’t know, maybe... 10, 15 times? Also depends on what’s going on that day -- if I have somewhere to be, for example, I’ll be looking at the time a lot more to make sure I’m on schedule.

Ophelia

The Noise is loud tonight.

I feel my skin a little too much.

"Dancing On My Own" plays on the radio.

I cry because I'm thinking of Carrie Fisher.

I remember exactly the temperature of the water.

Because the water was cold .

And the air was hot.

You said it's better to go when the air is cooler so it's less of a shock.

They whisper to me things.

My nose runs back into my throat.

Nat King Cole sings "Smile."

And I wish I could leave this country.

Should I put rocks in my pockets

Like Virginia Woolf

Who always in my mind

Looks like Nicole Kidman with a prosthetic nose.

I wish I coulda hugged Norma Jean.

I wish I had an answer for those immigrant kids.

I wish I wasn't afraid all the time

That someone might shoot me for being gay.

I found some pills today.

But it'd just be a temporary solution.

Because I ain't have the money for more.

I sing along to "Bury Me Down By the River."

I had a dream I shared jokes with Robin Williams.

Are they coming for me today?

Am I crazy enough them?

I'm a white man in an open carry state.

So do they think I'm gonna shoot them down?

But I don't even know how to buy a gun.

"It only takes an inch of water to drown a bitch."

I've heard him time and again, but it always makes me laugh.

Am tonight I that bitch?

I made fun of myself for being in the hospital.

I painted a picture in the style of Vincent Van Gogh.

I read somewhere that cold showers can ease depression.

I just stand there.

A slightly sulfur rain.

I just stand there.

Rutger Hauer was right about tears.

I can't see them.

But I can feel them.

Each one a ghost of myself.

They may be ephemeral.

But each emotion is real.

I just stand there.

Let the water rush over me.

I kept my secrets to myself.

The Hitcher

When Breakdown and I first saw this movie, I was running unspeakably hot by the time it ended. Breakdown obliged me, but laughed at me the whole way through. That was the effect of the Hauer human.

That’s how I’ll always remember him.

Hello! Hello there! Greetings. Greetings! How is it, even when I manage to get here on time, I still have no idea what it is your are showing us? This is... Blade Runner, right? It is. Apparently it's everyone's favorite scene featuring him? But I'm a Hitcher mech, so The Hitcher is what we're watching. I've never seen it, but I'm sure we're in for a treat I heard there was murder involved, and I tend to enjoy that. It is...oh, what would be the saying here on Earth? Gay. Very, very, very gay. Oh, good! Oh, good! Time to stop for the night, dude He is too stupid to learn the lesson. This'll end well. Maybe not at this exact location, however He is absolutely getting murdered. Goodbye, little doe eyed human. This bodes well. This is just going downhill surprisingly quickly. "The guy I murdered" Well, at least he is honest about it. Dear god This would be the time to flee. Or he could crash the car. Take him out along with. Hey Good Hello there! Good boy. Eyes on the road dude ((I was so sad when I heard the news he was my very strange celebrity crush when I was a teen)) uh oh Ah, I see. AT least he's trying ((Is rutger the bad guy in this one? That's him! oh no Oh no He did not lock his car. ew He dind't He did not check the back. *didn't The hell did they feel the need to show us that? This protagonist is not very smart. not really Is it bad that I am going for the bad guy due to the intelligence levels shown High intelligence, smoldering stare... He seems to be enjoying himself. ((so why is he chasing him, I must have missed that part? The fact that he got away probably factors in. Fair enough And he was so rude as to kick him out of a moving vehicle. Now where is he going to get a new stabbing knife? ......I read a plot summary and I'm sorry but I just can't watch the rest, I'll try to be back for the end of the stream just going to leave the tab open and mute it That bodes poorly. That's very fair! No worries! He really doesn't. . . . Interesting. Just how did our friend manage to accomplish all this? Our friend thinks you ask a lot of questions. It cannot be helped, when he displays illogical abilities. He doesn't appear to be human Maybe he isn't. Well the actor doesn't play many humans Who's to say the actor was human? True enough. Not sure what kind of non-human, but I'd believe it ((I almost streamed Lady Hawk yesterday in his honor, didn't have time I have to go, I'll be back soon He doesn't appear to be human Maybe he isn't. Well the actor doesn't play many humans Who's to say the actor was human? True enough. Not sure what kind of non-human, but I'd believe it ((I almost streamed Lady Hawk yesterday in his honor, didn't have time I have to go, I'll be back soon He should have grabbed the shotgun. He has a lot of "should haves." The first of which is that he should have listened to his mother, when she told him not to pick up hitchhikers. He is not a smart kid, it is reckless to trust him to figure this out. Is the reason "Out of all the people I've murdered you have the cutest mouth?" Just what makes a mouth 'cute'? You've never seen a cute mouth? No? Soft. Eminently kissable. You have seen my mouth, yes? Kissing is not something I consider when looking at mouths, and softness is unappealing. I can't speak to what makes a mouth appealing in your universe. Fair enough. Oh, you're not fooling anyone. Is he really going to leave her unattended when his foe has proven to have supernatural capabilities? I'm sure this will end well for both of them. Surely. . . . Well, that's just terrible. Definitely not human. Not a chance. That is just bad policing, when transporting someone you know has killed multiple officers. No one in this movie has done anything that made sense. No they have not. ..... That is it? Really? That's it. and I'm back! Welcome back! Just in time for our closing light note! These recommended videos really are... something? hello! Uh ohhh, I remember thiiiis Oh dear ANYONE WHO DOESN'T LIKE SLURPING, MUTE! """Slurping""" Hahahha Oh my god What the hell are those What? The turkeys? Ohhh. That is... hypnotizingly weird Hmm. ??? . . . Humans. Humans. And that was that! It sure was! Thank you for hosting this nonsense once more. It has been an interesting time. Well, as always, thank you for hosting. A woman certainly was pulled in half between two trucks. My pleasure! Thank you for coming! Goodnight! Good night! It's just not a Knock Out stream without a woman being bifurcated.

It features a classic 1980s slasher flick, it has the original mail girl, Joe Bob skewers the logic of the TNT censors, and he reads an awkward letter from a male admirer named Rufus.*
