Mission: Impossible (1996)

Mission: Impossible (Netflix) 1996 action spy film directed by Brian De Palma and starring Tom Cruise. A continuation of the 1966 television series of the same name and its 1988 sequel series, it is the first installment in the Mission: Impossible film series. If you never watched the original series, this is fine enough. If you did... well, I don't recommend it for reasons that would provide too many spoilers.

This snowman is The Snowman from the delightful 1982 film.

      The TV series, yes, me too. Especially once Nimoy joined the cast :)

    I like the Snowman far more than MI! (Pity, because I loved the TV series.) The movie has far too much action for me. I'd rather a good spy movie like Tinker Tailor.

      I didn't mind the action, but that they betrayed the very character of the original, that's what I objected to :(

    I have that snowman- and those Mission Impossible films are great for entertainment. We've been rewatching the very old Police Force films with Lesley Neilson. There's a great scene in the second with a lobster and Barbara Bush. Pretty silly, but good for some evening laughs. Enjoy your day!

    Mr Man got the latest M/I installment for Christmas & watched today while I was out - he likes the level of sound far too high for my enjoyment.

      Issues like these can be a problem. We have differences here, too.

    I love the snowman. I have never been a fan of the Mission Impossible movies. Have a nice day.

    I liked the show on TV. The movies are pure action and much less plot than the TV shows had, as I recall.
    I barely remember the snowman movie, but I recognized him--lol! :)
