The pairing of Eastwood & Bridges was one of those rare, really good casting decisions.
shareYes. As I've said before here---it is Eastwood giving Bridges room, some of it his room to operate, to impact the screen. Yes, Eastwood had hit by '74, but, it's still a very selfless gesture on his part.
In their mid-70's garb lifted from the middle aged couple they're bright & beautiful. You marvel at the visuals of it. Bridges leads Eastwood here & Eastwood follows.
It's a wonderful story, culminating in boundless tragedy. Upon mandatory reflection the plan is on such shaky ground end-to-end it's a miracle it got as far as it did. Only incredible irony sustains Thunderbolt. In all their travels back & forth thru that small area they hadn't come across that fuckin' school house.
I watched The Conversation a few weeks ago - a great movie until the last 10-15 minutes.
shareThe Savage is Loose is creepy.

What a year, huh?
It's Alive was a favorite of mine when I first saw it. Bizarre, darkly humored, entertaining little flick.
shareJesus, what a terrible year for films. Just went through Wiki's list and the only one I could find I had any real regard for was The Great Gatsby, followed by Chinatown, and nothing after that.
shareHi Cat!
Always nice to see you;)
You didnt even like The Godfather Part II???
Explain yourself!!
Shogie! How ya doing?
I got the year wrong, was looking at 1965. But no, I wasn't impressed with either The Godfather I or II, unlike many. I thought The Godfather was decent, but not great, and yes I realise this is blasphemy to many.
Oh wait, I just realised And Now My Love came out in 1974, which is a brilliant film. Probably the first foreign film I ever saw and was only the second feature (which I'd never heard of) when I saw it. No idea which film it is I originally went to see, because I was became so enthralled with And Now My Love, subtitles and all.
I still think Chinatown was pretty good, and memorable.
Going Places was decent -- first thing I ever saw Gerard Depardieu in. It was good, interesting, and the fact that he was a bit of an unlikely babe in it didn't hurt ;)
Nothing else stands out as a favourite.
Im fair enough Dear Cat😺
We all have our tastes in movies...thats why were here!
I liked Chinatown too btw
Glad you are back;)
Texas chainsaw massacre.
