“The Long Kiss Goodnight” is hands down one of my absolute favorite movies!! I love Geena and Sam!! ❤️

[@fallout_patty]

Easily😌👌🏾

[@CH-Anointed]

Mine too! She is such a phenomenal actress .

[@La_Plena]

It is a fantastic movie that is not too talkd about.

[@treborretsnom6186]

'A long kiss goodnight ' is an amazing movie!!!! Perfect for the holidays!!! Some of Sam's funniest one liners, and Geena's action sexy is the best ❤️👍

[@c.greystone9825]

For almost every Christmas, Long Kiss Goodnight is the action Christmas movie to go to - in addition to Die Hard. Geena was a great heroine in LKG way before all the female actors got on the bandwagon. LKG is an underrated action movie simply because the protagonist was a woman.

[@supernova3723]

It is said that Geena has a very high I.Q, genius level. The Long Kiss Goodnight, still a fav, Charlie Baltimore was a beast.

[@guel5062]

I love that movie

[@damianstarks3338]

You completely read my mind here

[@th3coolestkid]

LOVED this movie and basically any movie she’s ever done. I’m a massive Geena Davis fan. Long kiss goodnight is a great movie.

[@ZacVaper]

Geena looks amazing...so youthful.

[@EsotericOccultist]

Yeah she has the turkey neck of a 20 year old

[@LiliWhiteWorld]

Bought her book recently - a very enjoyable read - with two chapters to go that I plan to finish this rainy weekend. Geena seems like sweet, genuinely nice person.

[@Delboy0]

Geena Davis along with Sigourney Weaver were my earliest childhood crushes. They are probably at fault for my preference for taller brunette women, beyond the fact I am 6 foot 2. Although she has been in plenty of critically acclaimed movies, my favourite movies with her in are still Earth Girls Are Easy and beatlejuice.

[@henrikmygren]

Long kiss goodnight had lukewarm reviews but I still love it and so does others awell as people when mentioning Geena and Samuel mention this movie and keep returning too this one as years passed. Still think it should have gotten a sequel even if Geen said she no longer do action movies maybe cast someone as her older daughter.

[@sandyozuna3442]

Geena Davis is one of my favorite stars

[@kspang656]

I live down the street from where Geena grew up. Her brother had a yard sale about 6 years ago and i bought acouple pieces of jewelery. She looks amazing! ❤️

[@JoshBG20]

Geena Davis.... Oh how I love you! ❤️❤️❤️

[@JosefFerguson]

It's amazing how nice James Corden is... to famous people.

[@c.greystone9825]

Haha now we know better eh?

[@guel5062]

​@@c.greystone9825i wanna know 👀

[@DanielVance]

I love watching The Long Kiss Goodnight as a variant meeting of Nick Fury and a Black Widow. Excellent movie!

[@renegade-zeraus]

Isnt she also an olympic-level archer?

[@flon57]

Some of the movie was filmed in my brother's city of Collingwood Ontario, 🇨🇦. I was there to see a scene filmed.

[@LadyAxe13]

Her action scenes in CUTTHROAT ISLAND surpasses even the wonderful LONG KISS GOODNIGHT, but nobody seems to remember the crazy action in that pirate movie!

[@AlexAnder-ut9es]

Glad she had her own couch. Geena at 66 looks gr8t & her 90s action films were soo good. She has a Geena Davis institute for Gender in Media. Amazing person.

[@verdatum]

Earth Girls are Easy is one of my favorite films. It's the definition of 1980s SoCal in 90 minutes

[@damianstarks3338]

Long kiss good night childhood memories for me.

[@sunshineproductions4122]

I'm a native Bostonian & LOVE Geena Davis. I spelled my daughter's name with the double "E" in her honor.

[@greezythumb]

I've always loved Geena. Great actress and just a sweet lady. She reminds me of my ex wife that passed away who was incredibly nice also.

[@luizaferreira19]

Doctor Hermaaaannnn 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

[@mkilptrick]

Incredible carvings.

[@Chertoff88]

Her jack Nicolson story on Kimmel is amazing

[@kresimirmilisa5560]

[@CarlosHugoPumaregaGarriga]

Think about The Expendables female version: Geena Davis, Linda Hamilton, Sigourney Weaver, Sandra Bullock, Lucy Liu, Mila Jovovich and Uma Thurman.

[@scottcrosby-art5490]

Still looks great

[@colinfraser7150]

Totally would.

[@randybarrientes8692]

James Corden she should make a movie with Quentin Tarantino about pumpkins a scary movie like killer tamatoes

[@stayhappylittlemermaid]

In life you have to give to receive, give love to get love, share joy to feel joy.

[@user-bp5gt2lu3z]

[@fdoe9184]

C'mon James. Couldn't you have worded that differently than:. Look at Geena Davis's pumpkins ?? (Thank goodness she doesn't bake pastries or he'd say:. "Look at Geena Davis's cupcakes". Or. "Check out Geena Davis's buns")

[@RusstheTroubadour]
