Face/Off, at 27

An undisputed contender for Best Summer Movie Ever Made, John Woo's sensational Action/Thriller/Post-Modern Sci-Fi/Blockbuster 'Face/Off' hit the multiplexes 27 years ago today, crushing the boxoffice to the tune of nearly $250 million! Nic Cage is great, John Travolta matches him, and Joan Allen turns a thankless role into something memorable.
