'Reacher' Star Alan Ritchson Dubs ‘Flight of a Navigator’ as a 'Favorite Movie of All-Time'
Alan Ritchson may play the bruising star of the popular television series Reacher, but one of his favorite movies of all time comes from a very different genre.
During a recent video posted on Facebook, Ritchson explained what makes one specific science fiction-based film a go-to for the 42-year-old actor.
Although Ritchson has starred in multiple Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles films, Fast X, and is slated to be in Runner and War Machine, the 1986 movie Flight of the Navigator holds a special place in his heart.
"I was watching one of my favorite movies of all time last night," Ritchson said. "I wanted to show my kids one of the greats, Flight of the Navigator."
Ritchson's comments do go along with the premise of his initial video, as David Freeman (Joey Cramer) is knocked unconscious for eight years. He hasn't aged at all when he wakes up. Shortly after, an alien spaceship comes to Earth, and its maps match David's brainwaves, as Collider detailed.
Based on Ritchson's immense knowledge of the film and how he cross-compared it, his comments in a video, which he tagged as "#instachurch" are a fun and unique way to get his feelings and point across.
It's become apparent with the Reacher star's social media postings that he's an open book when it comes to discussing God and many other important topics with his children.
