man you guys made my day! I’m obsessed with these 90s thrillers. The craziest and most underrated one is 1993 MALICE (Nicole Kidman, Alec Baldwin, Gwenyth Paltrow, Bill Pullman). Go in blind, it’s a great ride. 🍿😎
I was expecting Paul Verhoeven's ''Basic Instinct'', (1992) the ultimate 90s erotic thriller ánd a personal favorite of mine, ''Pacific Heights'' (1990), an excellent psycho flick with Michael Keaton, Matthew Modine and Melanie Griffith (including her mom Tippi Hedren) and made by another 1970s prolific director from the 1970s (and 1960s), as is Paul Verhoeven....Greetings from The Netherlands.
Stumbled on this channel by pure chance, so glad that I did. All of you guys are so interesting to listen to. I can actually see myself becoming a member at some point, and I've never done that, even channels I really like! Cheers guys, you have a new fan.
On the subject of Ricochet, I think it's very relevant that it came out on the heels of the fall of Washington DC mayor Marion Berry. I recall a lot of speculation in the black community, presaging the whole OJ Simpson phenomenon, that Berry was set up, and I think the script for Ricochet very specifically played into that. The movie made a splash but fizzled. I recall one black patron at the theater declaring that he wanted to buy ten tickets because he felt so sure that he wanted to see the movie ten times, but I don't think the ticket seller obliged him. I'm sad to hear how director Richard Rush turned out, because I will always enjoy The Stunt Man. The actor you're thinking of in Copycat is Dermot Mulroney. He gets mixed up with Dylan McDermott a lot, but McDermott has a relatively thin face, which served him in the Clint Eastwood movie In the Line of Fire and his own TV show The Practice, while Dermot Mulroney, who is probably best known for My Best Friend's Wedding and The Wedding Date, has broader features. Count me as seeing Reversal of Fortune as being in its own class. I saw, and regretted, Consenting Adults -- and it reminds me a little of an earlier movie, Bad Influence, directed by no less that Curtis Hanson before going on to Hand That Rocks. (I recall the ad campaign for Hand That Rocks: "Get Rocked.") In Bad Influence, Rob Lowe is trying to "liberate" the attitudes of James Spader, but Spader finally rebels. I've a suggestion of my own, but not one I particularly enjoy: Desperate Measures, partly shot in my hometown of Pittsburgh. Michael Keaton must have figured "Hey, I can be Hannibal Lecter too." It's just a sad wasteful misfire all around. Looking forward to Sliver. (You ARE doing Sliver, right?) Thanks!
My snapper suggestion is Striking Distance, a Bruce Willis erotica thriller with Sarah Jessica Parker about him as a coast guard cop trying to find a serial killer who happen to be his cousin!!
As far as I'm concerned, you can continue this series to your heart's content! Parts 2, 3, 4 et al! lol I loved it. Again, "the clock rules" factor give me anxiety, but that's quite alright! I saw 4 of these movies in the theater, and you guys are right, they were ubiquitous in the 90's. I don't think you really see stuff like this anymore, but maybe I missed something along the way? Very cool, guys and Remy! Thanks! PS: Excellent Momen this week too!! Nice job!
I read your comment and glanced at the wiki page before deciding to give it a try. Thank you! This was really good, and kind of classy (or at least less sleazy) for a 90s thriller.
I was fortunate enough to avoid most of these, but still a fun episode, I was thinking Romeo is bleeding, could fit great in this category, but soon realized it’s actually too good, and deserves a full hour
This was a fun episode! I like your term "Snapper Cases". It's much more concise than what I'd been calling it..."Tapes my parents rented on Friday that I 'd be told to close my eyes during this scene". Is The Big Easy from 86 the prototype to the New Orleans Snapper Genre?
One of your best specials. Only one I did not see was A Murder of Crows, which I am grabbing right now. These are my favourite kinds of films and why I loved the nineties. Glad you will do more. Also love the Siskel and Ebert clips at the end.❤
I love Love LOVE The Replacement Killers (1998). The style, the music, the slo-mo violence, the terse one liners, running around LA in an unbuttoned shirt, a gun and a black bra...
The snapper DVD was almost always something from Warner Bros., New Line Cinema, or HBO Films. Also, I forgot how much Harry Connick Jr. sucked in "Copycat."
Can't believe that nobody mentioned that Barbet Shroeder also directed Barfly with Mickey Rourke. On that note, why the hell haven't you done OFH on Barfly?
I can see this point, kinda why I called it out as being "too good" as well... but it was released in a snapper case, so its kinda grandfathered in. --evan
SHATTERED: SPOILERS: When Tom B pulled the stuffed body out the oil drum and the preserved dead body's face is him, I lost my sh*t. Initially, the first core shock to the system is so intense that a million head canon fan theories go through your head what it is you're actually witnessing. Thank God Tom B immediately launches into his exposition dump explaining what exactly has happened and is going on. So, you get the shock twist, the crazy jump scare with it and before you're brain can catch up with the exhilaration of the double whammy, it's quickly explained the magic trick the movie pulled over over our eyes. It was never a hit or well seen movie and only got seen by its cult audience when it came out on VHS. It has been forgotten to time, but I never forgot the twist. Coincidentally, Tom B started in another unique who done it, thriller mystery four years prior with Sydney Poiter and young Kristy Alley called Shoot To Kill. The set up is a killer invades police after a botched hostage situation and flees into the woods of a national Forrest. Tom B is a veteran outdoors man survivalist whose skills are asked upon from lead Detective Poiter whose on the manhunt for the murderer at large. The complication is there is a group of weekend warrior hiker campers whose cosmic bad timing it is to be deep into their group weekend hike exactly the same time and whereabouts the killer is estimated to be roaming around in. The cool nifty twist on the cops and robber cat and mouse genre troupe here is the whole time we see the hostage situation disaster go wrong, the killer fleeing and getting away, taunting the police with a stolen walkie talkie, and later when we see his POV racing through the Forrest in desperation and the exact moment he sees the hiker group. The makers made the genius choice to conceal the killers face in the movie's first early scenes so we don't know his identity, what he looks like, nationality, anything specific about him, other than he's a male. So, the film's structure cuts back and forth between the task force forming and descending into the woods in high pursuit to find the killer and also the group before the killer does. Upping the stakes is Tom B's girlfriend is in the group played by Alley so he has personal skin in the game. We the audience also are ahead of the two leads because we see the killer infiltrate into the group and able to assume the identity of one of the hikers that cancelled. So now the killer is amongst the group and we the audience start trying to guess which member of a dozen in the team are the killer. We are also then treated to meeting every character in the group, their na k story, and personalities. It's an incredible gimmick, well executed, excruciatingly suspenseful and about two thirds the way in, the killer finally rears his ugly head and announces himself to the team and us, the audience. The reveal who in the group it actually is is a mind bender. Nobody ever guesses who it is, but it's a shocker and sets off a whole other strong of bad things in motion. Cool ass movie. Another buried cinematic classic.

@@theuserwithnoname7688 Thank you!
great episode! also just wanted to shoutout 1986's F/X. not sure if it fits the snapper bill but the premise alone is amazing.
Fun fact about Russel Mulcahey: he got his start aside from music videos in the Ozploitation movement, making the Jaw-adjacent film, Razorback.

It's real junk with one of the dumbest chase scenes (leaping cars) in any movie

I've watched Ricochet twice in the last few months, that movie rules!
Jacques Rivette directed “Celine & Julie Go Boating” ❤ Barbet Schroeder did “More” and “La Valle”, and then later “Barfly” before gone snappin’
Pacific Heights is Hitchcock level
I read your comment and glanced at the wiki page before deciding to give it a try. Thank you! This was really good, and kind of classy (or at least less sleazy) for a 90s thriller.
I was fortunate enough to avoid most of these, but still a fun episode,
I was thinking Romeo is bleeding, could fit great in this category, but soon realized it’s actually too good, and deserves a full hour
Extreme Measures deserves a mention.
This is one of the most fun episodes I've ever watched. These movies are absolutely batshit nuts!

I was an 18 yr old working at a dumpy beachside twin cinema when "Hand that rocks the cradle" came out. Fun movie that I recall doing good business.
Linda Fiorentinos Last Seduction is awesome.
One of your best specials. Only one I did not see was A Murder of Crows, which I am grabbing right now. These are my favourite kinds of films and why I loved the nineties. Glad you will do more. Also love the Siskel and Ebert clips at the end.❤

And IMAGE!
Check out MALICE (1993), it's totally batshit crazy and a ton of fun 😂
Love Malice!
I saw Color Of Night on the recent Criterion Channel Erotic Thrillers series. More like that please!!
Color of night would be a great pic for an hour!
Can't believe that nobody mentioned that Barbet Shroeder also directed Barfly with Mickey Rourke. On that note, why the hell haven't you done OFH on Barfly?
You guys have such good memory of these movies, do you actually rewatch the films before recording? Or is that your native recall?
Ha we usually re watch
The only snap case DVD I have is Purple Rain
Love this genre. I would add Friedkin's Jade (incredible car chase) and Kiss the Girls and Double Jeopardy.
I saw Hand that Rocks the Cradle at the cinema at the age of 13. I swear it accelerated puberty in a perverse way.
💯!!
'Unlawful Entry' 😂😂😂
Evan was busy, he didn't love any of the comments on Pelham 123.
I just watched Copy Cat. It's great
Gotta mention Bound by the Wachowskis
44:46 Holy shit! 90s Aubrey Plaza!
Wow yeah Aubrey Snapper!
I nominate Unforgettable, starring Ray Liotta. Guess you forgot about it.
Awesome!
You may want to change your list? Scrap reversal of fortune. Too good for this collection
It's Alan Dershowitz though
I can see this point, kinda why I called it out as being "too good" as well... but it was released in a snapper case, so its kinda grandfathered in.

@@OneFuckingHour I always keep some in the tank Evan
This is great! I like to call them disposable thrillers there entertaining when you watch them but they don’t really stick with you when there over.
My two would be "Red Rock West" and "The Crush." One is pretty damn good and the other is not. I think you know which is which.

I totally had a similar experience. The shock of the twist was so extremely surreal, it felt like I was watching Twin Peaks The Return.
What about Fluke!!!?
It fits right in there with Shattered 😂
Nice
Wow Ive never seen a video (or series) with a longer, more boring intro.
Wow!
