It's pretty impractical but I find the three-point landing visually appealing in action movies.

Not that I don't dig movies that this happens in (Oliver Platt/Executive Decision being exhibit A) but the "I didn't sign up for this" braniac nerd who finds his inner badass has been played relentless.


The Rock-Stanley Goodspeed

All of The Librarian movies-Flynn Carsen

Independence Day-David Levinson

They try to portray Jack Ryan as something similar in the Clancy book movies.

I like all of these but they are the type movies where you know what's going to happen. Using the name "Stanley Goodspeed" makes Cage's character the worst of the ones' listed.

The nuclear physicist, brain surgeon, legal scholar, professor of linguistics, or any other brainiac occupation who also happens to be an OT 9.

Yup. Just off the top of my head Rachel Weisz is a hot multiple offender with Chain Reaction and latest Bourne.
