UNCUT - Sneakers (1992)

Guys sneakers is the best first movie of Mission impossible you’re ever gonna see compared to the Tom Cruise beginning of the franchise and it’s funny because of course Mission impossible is the Sister show the Star Trek, which you’ve been watching religiously for the last couple years that I’ve been following you. I hope you enjoy this movie as much as I do. It has an honorable place in my library.

Such a fun movie; I somehow missed it completely when it came out, but watched it randomly on streaming years ago, and enjoyed it thoroughly. The entire cast is really great, but David Strathairn especially stood out to me.

Many of us in the security field applauded the way in which the crew of Sneakers infiltrated the corporate building. Hacking was often not about 'leet computer skills, the most important skill of all is social engineering. Getting a job as a janitor at a corporation because janitors worked after everyone left the building for the day, needed access to every office and had physical control of any printouts that were thrown away, and could copy passwords taped to monitors. The scene where Redford pressures the security guy to skip an authentication step while his buddy causes a distraction is a great example of how to get people to fold.

Cattle mutilations are up

I love this movie. Great to see it’s still finding an audience all these years later.

When I was young, my mom had a friend who owned a video rental stores, and he would get VHS screeners of movies that weren't generally available yet. He gave us some, and one of them was Sneakers. I loved the movie and watched several times as a kid. It was fun to revisit it with you guys!

Seeing the notification for this video when I woke up this morning was a pleasant surprise. I LOVE this movie. Saw it when it came out, owned the VHS and watched it a lot in my teens. Funny timing cause I just watched it again a few weeks ago while flying home from San Francisco. Cosmo’s speech about how “it’s all about the information”was so ahead of its time and could have been written today.

One of my all time favorite movies!! Was one of the pillars of my entertainment education

I remember seeing this in a second-run theater. I saw it with a bunch of friends, and none of us really knew what the movie was about beforehand. It was one of my favorites as a kid. I still love the movie today. Just a fun movie with some cool ideas and a great cast.

Woooo! Can't wait. I freakin adore this movie.

About the Cray Mark one super computer. Tron was a good movie not a great movie. It had some pretty impressive digital animation, which is really the second one on screen referred to Star Trek to the wrath of con. But the Cray super computer is what was used to make those animations throughout the entire movie of Tron and it took over a year to render using those computers at that time. I don’t know what the exact comparison to a Cray Mark one versus my iPhone is but they’re running close to the same speed. 3 nanometers is very fast.

So in the spirit of sneakers, the Blind guy would like to point out some things that you might’ve missed: In Cosmo‘s office is a Cray YMP super computer. It’s the couch that Cosmo is sitting on. The original Cray Mark one computer looks like a big circular couch which always seem to draw people into want to sit on it. The Cray Mark two look like a super futuristic fish aquarium with liquid cooling towers and tubes the Cray YMP is the one that looks the most natural as a couch. Tim Russ otherwise known as to Voc has a blink and you’ll miss it moment in the beginning of the movie This is just my opinion about a couple of vines in the movie One of the best lines in the whole movie is Ben Kingsley‘s organized, don’t kid yourself. It’s not that organized Don’t James Earl Jones, where the US government we don’t do that sort of thing Alex The device that has the bouncing braille cells is called a braille note you can buy them and they have a certain amount of cells on the screen that can be moved on the fly so that you can read information from your phone or other devices. You can connect them by Bluetooth and is expensive but valuable And as far as I know, Playboy is the only dirty magazine made in braille There’s some bad 1980s cable movie kind of a college rump movie that has a blind guy in it who sings a song about. They don’t make dirty books and braille, which was kind of funny, but it was not nearly as good of a movie as if you could see what I hear.

Sneakers is a favorite for sure. It was my "wheel spin" choice back in the day. Glad it has finally made your watched list. A few more that I hope that will make the cut at some point are: "The Sting" (1973) "The Man from Earth" (2007) "Dangal" (2016) "The Lego Batman Movie" (2017) "Frequency" (2000)

Thank you Gweneviere for the request!! I love this movie, may have to take an early, and long, lunch today to watch this ASAP

This is one of my all-time favorite. I love it. Had it on VHS and bought the DVD just to have it in my collection. IMHO very underrated. Great cast, great humor, great story, ahead of its time. Love Whistler. Wonder how many today still know how to connect to the internet via your telephone. 😅 Too many secrets. 😅 Great pick, Gweneviere. 👌🏼👍🏼

One of my favourite movies ever. Saves me a difficult choice if I ever join Bridge Crew - bucket list item for sure. I love your moment recognizing Whistler as Klaes Ashford from The Expanse! David Strathairn has incredible range, and the entire cast is some kind of early 90s dream-team.

I don't remember hearing a word about this film when it came out in theaters. A few years later, I randomly caught it on cable one night and thought, "Why the hell isn't everybody talking about how good this is?"

I LOVE this movie. It's one of my all time favorites.

Fun Fact: a still photo of Robert Redford from this movie was used in Winter Soldier as a "young" photo of Alexander Pierce, in the scene where they find Nick Fury alive in the bunker.

They COULD make this type of movie now, they will not.

Speaking as a blind person who lives inside of a computer network. I love this movie Great movie request

Watching Alex and Josh taking "little blue pills" was not on my bingo card but..... okay

Love this movie! An underrated gem!

You guys need to watch 'All the President's Men' to dig into Robert Redford. It's a wonderful, griping film made all the more enthralling by being real.

I always enjoy this film. It just goes to show you don't need non-stop full on action and violence to be entertaining.

I frickin love this movie. An amazing cast.

This movie is flipping brilliant. Magnificent castband do ahead of its time.

First VHS I ever bought with my own money was this film.
