    Once upon a time, before making horrible book adaptations and historically inaccurate biographies, Ron Howard made some fantastically entertaining movies. Backdraft is part mystery, part explosive action thriller, part family drama and all love letter to heroic fire fighters. Some complain the film doesn't go deep enough as drama and is too cliche but even those viewers have to admit that it is a technical marvel with some amazing set pieces. The acting is also top notch with an all star cast that includes DeNiro, Kurt Russell, William Baldwin, Rebecca Demornay, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Donald Sutherland and Scott Glenn. Watch it with the surround sound on!

    The fiery effects are thrilling. Almost makes you believe all of this is for real. I know I had to keep reminding myself it vwas only a movie, but it felt so real.
