Although it hasn't been decades I wanted to give Sorcerer some due props for anyone looking for not just a good but IMO great 70's film directed by the French Connection's William Friedkin.The title is a little off also IMO so watch the trailer to get the plot.It has few subtitles but not enough to be a pain(although I personally don't mind subtitles).

I've never seen Sorcerer, outside of the rickety bridge scene. Its definitely on the list.

It's considered to be a remake of a 1953 French film called The Wages Of Fear(which I also own and highly recommend if you can handle subtitles.) Enjoy,I think you'll love one or both.

Damn, these last few posts is like every movie I saw in high school. I guess I should throw Porky's in as well.
Of course, my favorite movies from high school (Blade Runner, Star Trek II, Conan, Excalibur) I tend to watch every couple of years. |

Speaking of films we haven't seen in a while. I've been on the lookout the past year for "After the Fox", I haven't seen it in about 20 years. It was a 1966 Peter Sellers film. Not a Pink Panther, but a funny premise. Sellers poses as a movie director and goes to a small Italian town and to rob the bank, he enlists all the towns people and the police into working on the movie. The star of the film is an over-the-hill actor played by Victor Mature, who is perfect for the role. Sort of like Gloria Swanson was perfect for Sunset Blvd. The only thing I can think of for it not being a hit, was maybe the title didn't quite fit. It's really funny. |

I'm assuming most of us have seen Thief but if not here's the opening of the film and IMO the music setting the stage. Last edited by Nzoner; 08-29-2019 at 08:15 AM.. |

I remember after seeing the first Godfather in the theater, I saw previews for the next James Caan movie, Slither. It also had Sally Kellerman, who I liked in Mash, it wasn't a bad flick. Much different than I thought it would be. I've never seen it shown on TV, strange since it was pretty decent. |

Since Peter Boyle was in Slither, that reminded me of a film called "Joe" from 1970. I was stationed in the DMZ of South Korea in 1970, it was small camp with about 200 troops. We operated an airfield that flew helicopters up and down the North Korean border. We didn't really have a movie theater, but the chaplain set up movies in one of the quonset huts and he would get new movies in.
I never forgot the film "Joe", starring Peter Boyle, who at the time was a no-name actor. It's about a redneck guy that's in a neighborhood bar and he's cussing all the blacks and low-life druggies for all the problems in society. They don't hold back on any language in this film. It has a real twist ending that I don't want to give away, but it's a movie worth seeing, and it's another one that is never shown. It will never be on regular TV but maybe HBO or some premium channel. |
