Prime Cut

This is a strange but well made tough guy film. Characters have names like Poppy, Weenie, Mary-ann(Hackmans character!) and Clarabelle!? Lee Marvin is great in this. Bringing alot of depth to his character, he's not only a bad ass but he's got feelings too. Theres several funny scenes with Marvin, one in particular involves him tasting milk. They dont make leading men like him anymore!
There is a real sleazy element involving a white slavery auction. And it is here that Sissy Spacek makes her acting debut...butt ass naked lying on a ground of hay in a cattle pen. Thats one hell of an entrance Coal Miners Daughter!
Night of the Living Dead

Night Of The Living Dead has the best opening setup for a horror film, ever! It sets the mood perfectly. Its a full on assault of the senses. The cast is brilliantly played by virtual unknowns...at the time. Judith O'Dea is amazing to watch go from calm to hysterical to full blown basket case over the course of the film.
What can be said about this film that hasnt already been said. Its a perfect film from start to finish. Horror doesnt get much better than this and neither does film for that matter. One of my all time favorite i can watch over and over and never get sick of. The perfect horror film!

Warren Oats takes the front in Peckinpahs modern day western. Possibly my fav. Peckinpah film.
Aguirre, der Zorn Gottes (Aguirre, the Wrath of God)

Herzog and Kinski's masterpeice. Dreamy and unsettling. Kinski is so intense to watch. One of my all time favorite films. Geurilla filmmaking at its best. Herzog risks his life and the life of his crew to bring about this beautiful film.
