Watched Crimson Tide

Was pretty good. It was full of 90s action/disaster movie tropes and had some hilariously expositional dialogue ("I can't kill you because you're the only one know the codes to the nukes...but I can kill THIS guy!"). Still very enjoyable. Great cast too. I'd give it 7.5 anal eggs out of 10 .

What are some of dem other 90s classics we got?

For those same kinds of movies - CT's director Tony Scott also did The Last Boy Scout (awesome) True Romance (great) and Enemy of the State (decent) in the 90s.

Other Bruckheimer (Simpson) 90s bests - The Rock, Bad Boys, Con Air.

Enemy of the State (decent)

I really enjoy that movie. Definitely one of Smith's better performances and Gene Hackman is great in it.

True Romance (great)

True Romance rules. It's really interesting to see one of Tarantino's scripts being made by another director. I honestly think most of his movies from the last 10 years would've been better if they'd been made by another director. For some reason he feels like every movie he does now has to be some opus that's 2 hrs 40 mins long.

Agreed, and I also think Jackie Brown is his best film. He wrote the script, but it's the only film he wrote and directed that's directly based on someone else's story (Elmore Leonard's Rum Punch.) I think his films since then have been largely self-indulgent. No one tells him no.
