Wolfganf Peterson directed this taut thriller anout an aging Secret Service agent with a questionable past (did he fail to save Kennedy?) who is investigating a threat against the current president. Crosscrossing across the country he finds time to woo fellow agent Rene Russo and butt heads weth superiors and the White House Chief of Staff. John Malcovitch is chilling as the brilliant psycho plotting to kill the president. This one holds up over multiple viewings. The scene where Eastwood is hanging off the building (reminiscent of "Verigo") is chillilng, particularly on the big screen.

I also like this one and consider it one of Clint's better later movies. Another one of Clint's more recent movies that I enjoy watching every couple of years is "Absolute Power." As you mentioned about In the Line of Fire, AP also has a strong cast.

And I only own about 15 movies or so. I really like Eastwood though... always have.
