On a recent re-watch of The Hunt for Red October, I realised that the director was John McTiernan – who also directed Die Hard. I am not someone who  pays much attention to directors, with a few very famous exceptions. So I was curious what else he had directed. And thus I came across the list: 

• Nomads (not watching)
• Predator
• Die Hard 
• Hunt for Red October 
• Medicine Man  
• Last Action Hero  
• Die Hard: With a Vengeance 
• Thomas Crown Affair 
• the 13th Warrior 
• Rollerball 
• Basic 

Nomads we decided looked a bit too horror for our tastes. Neither of the last two films are available on streaming and the Rotten Tomatoes statistics for each of them are beyond woeful. But that still leaves an intriguing eight films… 

(Last Action Hero is also not on streaming! And nor is The Thomas Crown Affair! Those just seem weird but also I don’t mind spending $5 renting them.)
