Oh, interesting. Like I think that there's a little bit to it where like Sammy and Lisa are not like always getting along and there's some like problems there and that's Mark Anthony was with J-Lo. Right. Mark Anthony's like working on his golf swing. Stealing J-Lo from Ben Affleck. Apex Mountain Denzel no. Tony Scott no. Walken no. Dakota Fanning's an interesting one. Mm-hmm. I think you could argue yes because it just felt like she was going to be this generational actor. Yeah, she's like a child who goes toe-to-toe with Denzel Washington. Kid Swimming Meats fucking fuck yes. Fuck yes, Craig. Give me a whole Netflix series about that. Oh my God, Last Chance U with him. Drive to Swim Vive. The kidnapping movies. There's either trained or untrained. Yeah, that was a good that was a good I like that trained or untrained thing. Yeah, there is no tough. There is just trained and untrained. That's good. Kidnapping movies. Are you going to say Taken or you're going to say this? I think it I think it's probably Taken. Taken spawned how many sequels? Three? Mm-hmm. It made the most money. It made Liam Neeson an action star. He's still fucking releasing two movies a year. I don't really know if they make Taken without Man on Fire. Man on Fire makes Taken possible. That's a good point. For me, it's number one. For me, for kidnapping movies. It's still my favorite. I like it a little more than Proof of Life and I love Proof of Life. Yeah. 1A, 1B maybe. It depends on your definition of yeah, I think this is I think this is probably it. It's definitely Rushmore. I mean, the thing is Denzel is in it and Denzel is one of the five most important actors we've had since you and I have been alive. Yeah. For a whole bunch of different reasons. So I think that pushes it over the top. Rachel Tickenden is that how we pronounce her name? I feel like we're I thought it was Takaten but like I'm not sure. I think you're right. I still think it's Total Recall. Yeah. It's like one of the great science fiction movies of all time. Mexico City is an action locale. I think so. Probably, yeah. Yeah. 21st century action. Sicario is more Juarez stuff. Yeah. 21st century action movies. It's a big conversation. I gave you my it's Fast Five. It's Wick 2. And this. And I think those are my three. And probably one of does Dark Knight Dark Knight doesn't count as an action movie. I think that's a comic book. I mean, yeah, you get into like does Den of Thieves count as an action movie or is that more of a crime movie? Oh, and the town.
