Watched Crimson tide and Beverly hills cop this week.
Crimson tide was a great thriller. 8/10. Great submarine scenes. Fun plot, Interesting characters. The only thing that bothered me, is that I don't think that Russian ICBMs require fueling - afaik all ICBMs still in action have solid fuel motors, so they require almost zero prep for lift-off. But that's not a big complaint.
Beverly hills cop disappointed me however. I just didn't find it that funny or interesting. Outside of like 2 funny scenes the entire thing was incredibly dull. I'm wondering if that's just the movie showing its age - maybe it was great for the time, but by now everything it tried to do was done way better by somebody else - or if maybe this type of movie is just not for me. 4/10. Kino music though.

More like 10/10. It's too bad audiences are too dumb these days to make a movie where there's a conflict between two good people who mean well.
I just looked this up and I was surprised to find the Russians are still using a lot of liquid-fueled missiles. Back in the 1960s they were using liquid oxygen, which you can't keep in the rocket long because it boils off. Now they've got liquid fuel that can be kept in the rocket for "long periods" but I don't know how long that is. IIRC since it's corrosive you can't leave it in there forever. So maybe there would be some missiles that are left empty until there's some crisis where they expect nuclear war.
But yeah, it's probably just a plot device for the movie.
That's exactly the impression I got. Even just a few years later there was Lethal Weapon which I think is the same basic concept but done better.
