Soooo I& #39;m watching Keanu Reeves& #39;s movies in chronological order (according to IMDB). You& #39;ve been warned; I& #39;ll keep this in a thread. #CopingWithCOVID #KeanuReeves
First up: Youngblood (1986) -- starring baby Rob Lowe and Patrick Swayze!!
OKAY so Keanu only had like 5 lines in this movie
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😅" title="Smiling face with open mouth and cold sweat" aria-label="Emoji: Smiling face with open mouth and cold sweat">but he was very adorable. Overall it hasn& #39;t aged super well; but as an 80s-era sports movie it& #39;s enjoyable enough; & you see Rob Lowe& #39;s butt, so if you& #39;re into that...
Join me tomorrow for Dream to Believe (1986) -- I think this is Kay& #39;s first starring role
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤩" title="Star-struck" aria-label="Emoji: Star-struck">
Also just as a note (b/c you all care so much I& #39;m sure) I& #39;m skipping TV movies unless I can easily find them from legitimate sites that don& #39;t look like they& #39;ll give me 1001 different kinds of malware with one click... #SafetyFirst
It& #39;s time!! For Dream to Believe, also titled Flying, also from 1986. Am I too excited? Probably.
Okay except his character can& #39;t get the female lead to date him and I find this narrative wholly unrealistic

THIS MOVIE WAS ADORABLE THE END.
I appreciate that this movie acknowledges that you can still recognize when a person you know is wearing a ski-mask
Interesting ok so the basic premise of this one was bored rich high schoolers become proud boys but then their ringleader realizes gang violence is wrong & turns everyone in to the police (including himself)
Spoilers but it& #39;s from 1986 & you& #39;re never going to read this tweet or see this movie so whatever.
The saga continues with: River& #39;s Edge (1986)
Keanu& #39;s performance in this one is authentic, relatable, dramatic, and shows emotional range so haters COME AT ME.
The Keanu-athon continues, and we& #39;re still trapped in 1986 with the TV movie: Under the Influence
We are all very angry in this movie
Also ever since I started watching @Sideways440 I hear "dies irae" EVERYWHERE and this movie is no exception
THIS IS MOVIE IS THE STRANGEST. A real quote: "And Mrs. Pepper! You should be ashamed forcing your poor daughter to go live in a bowling ball, just to pay your mortgage."
Babes in Toyland, starring 11 year-old Drew Barrymore, Mr. Miyagi, and a physic cyclops chicken #whathaveIgottenmyselfinto
Annnd we& #39;re back! With the 1988 comedy "The Night Before"
Yeaaaah sooo the premise doesn& #39;t hold up to the times (getting lost on the wrong side of town in the age of Google) & since when was accidentally selling your prom date into prostitution funny?

A few funny lines and Keanu& #39;s adorkableness aside, this one was NOT my favorite.
"This trip through space and time is gonna be over on its own soon enough isn& #39;t it? It doesn& #39;t need any help from me. I came into this thing screaming and kicking, I want out the same way."

This movie is heartbreaking y& #39;all.
Just when you thought it was safe & I& #39;d abandoned my #KeanuReevesReWatch I& #39;m back! With 1988& #39;s Prince of Pennsylvania
"Yuckiness is truth!" #PrinceofPennsylvania

If I push on & watch one more, then next time I& #39;ll start w/ #BillandTedsExcellentAdventure! Sooo, double feature it is. Onward to Dangerous Liasions (1988).
Oooo it& #39;s the first Warner Brothers movie Kay did! STARRING GLENN CLOSE & JOHN MALKOVICH. And it& #39;s a period piece

Vicomte de Valmont: I often wonder how you manage to invent yourself.
Marquise de Merteuil: Well, I had no choice, did I? I& #39;m a woman. Women are obliged to be far more skillful than men.
I like this movie. #DangerousLiaisons #KeanuReevesReWatch

To be clear: Keanu had a supporting role & executed well. This is definitely the best film so far according to cinematography & narrative. Two villians (Close & Malkovich) in pre-revolution France determined to best each other at any cost.
It was an Oscar Best Picture nom in 1989; so if you& #39;re an Oscar buff or especially if you& #39;re a fan of Malkovich or Close; worth a watch. There is abusive content; so warning there. It& #39;s not excused; the "protagonists" are all terrible humans, that& #39;s clear.
The time has come for a MOST EXCELLENT adventure

According to #BillandTed we make it to 2688 & life is great. So don& #39;t mind me as I desperately cling to that hope

Is this the first "woah" of Keanu& #39;s career? I think it might be.
I mean how do I even place a movie like Bill and Ted? This is QUINTESSENTIAL Keanu. It& #39;s beyond rating. A Keanu Classic. It& #39;s a ridiculous farcical movie & I will always love it.
I am very excited when I catch up to @coolbreezepod& #39;s episode on Bill & Ted& #39;s Excellent Adventure to hear their thoughts! Keanu-stans unite!

This movie is showing its age and it& #39;s not going to be my fave but look at how ADORKABLE Kay is

Procrastinating editing to continue the #KeanuReWatch with I Love You to Death (1990)
Not excited for this one, but we& #39;ll see where it goes...

James Horner is this movie& #39;s composer & this is the first shock of the night
"That& #39;s how come in America we can live safe and have a good life...You work hard, you pay your taxes you obey the law, you can have anything you want."
Am I laughing or crying? Crying. Defffffinitely crying. That 90s optimism cuts deep in 2020...

We& #39;re 27mins in & there& #39;s no Keanu yet.

Okay this movie is a farce & I& #39;m actually starting to find it charming; but this took 77 minutes of it& #39;s 97 minute runtime sooooo not my fave #KeanuReWatch
I want to get to Point Break soooo baaaad & the two movies in my way do not excite me; but on we shall slog. #KeanuMarathon #KeanuStan
Kay plays a fledgling writer in this movie & there are typewriters & those encompass all my thoughts.
GET HYPED! I couldn& #39;t find Providence (1991); and since @coolbreezepod couldn& #39;t find that one either, that means it& #39;s time for one of the movies I& #39;m most excited to view FOR THE FIRST TIME:
Point Break (1991)

Okay in my timeline Johnny Utah was John Wick& #39;s real name so this movie is baby Wick obvs you can& #39;t keep the same name going from FBI to world renowned assassin don& #39;t question just go with me

Bodhi is also officially Johnny Castle after he& #39;s done with the Catskills...
And it is obvious why this movie solidified Keanu as a action star. The fight scenes in this are
