Entertaining Coen film. Certainly not their best but not at all their worst.

The Getaway - PG

McQueen shows some of his great chops. McGraw is beautiful but is completely wooden throughout. The subplot with Al Lettieri kidnapping the married couple takes a radical turn. I can see why feminist hated Peckinpah.

so fucking great. Love it for the characters and behaviors. I still don't very much dig most country music, but it structures the film perfectly.

Really fun to watch Kinski have a ball in his villainous role. Frank Wolff gets some great laughs. Absolutely twisted ending!

Interesting first effort for Haynes. You can see the roots of disjointed chronology with poetic narrative that flourishes his later work.

Not a bad follow up reunion to The Apartment with Wilder, Maclaine and Lemmon, though it does miss the humanity in light of the controversial aspects.

A pretty great thriller from Roeg. Characters always elude a lot from the pace and edits rather than whats written. It makes a much less theatric picture.

one of my favorite films of the year. inspirational yet incredibly heartbreaking. most importantly genuine. if Langella doesn't get at least an oscar nomination the system is not only broken, its rusty.
