5th Element and Beetlejuice were previously mentioned. Humor and suspense work well together, whether in a movie or a Mark Twain novel.

Going through Bruce Willis’ filmography, I noticed 12 Monkeys and Hart’s War.

I liked the 12 Monkeys movie. A TV remake was pretty terrible. Perhaps it was just preparing us to be hysterical during a pandemic.

Hart’s War seemed to be two movies in one. In the end, the Col, Bruce Willis, accepts punishment for the action of others. Willis’ performance was understated and effective.

Accepting punishment for the sins of others is associated with Jesus Christ. You seldom see anything like that in movies. It’s almost too foreign to make credible.

I did not like Hearts War, but a great war movie that is on my favorite list is We were solders, it only tells half the story of the battle, but had brotherhood and faith heavily in it.
