That’s a damn good list there! You don’t see Saturday Night Fever on many top list but I must say I love it too.

It is criminally underrated because most people think it's just a dance film but it isn't.

I think when they released the "PG-version" to try to appeal to a wider audience it kind of killed the film.

Excellent list
I really need to see The Wild Geese...several regs seem to love it

reply

[–] Mrmojo4700 (21028) 5 years ago

It’s a special film to say the least. An actual Congo mercenary named Mad Mike Hoare was the technical advisor so you get some really authentic gear for the times like lots of UZIs and FALs. Richard Harris and Richard Burton were both banned from alcohol durning the filming. Lol. Moore and Kruger were great as usual. The film has a hell of an ending so if you do check it out please let me know what you think.

reply

[–] ShogunofYonkers (75781) 5 years ago

Banning Harris and Burton from tipping a glass sounds damn near impossible!

I'll seek it out for sure👍Thanks Mojo

Faster pussycat. Haji has some very large boobs.

In almost all cases Russ Meyers ladies are well endowed. Haji is my favorite of the trio for sure.

I saw OUATIH three times since it opened.
It’s my kind of movie.
Can’t wait for the blu Ray!

reply

[–] Mrmojo4700 (21028) 5 years ago

I’ve seen it 3 times also and I’m trying to talk myself out of going again. I keep thinking it could be years before it comes back around on the big screen again. It’s damn magical. :)

Big boobs Haji!!!

reply

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

funny, that's the 2nd time i've seen charley varrick, a movie i don't know at all, pop up as a favourite/suggestion.
some twitter person suggested yesterday that it would make a great double-feature with dragged across concrete, one of my favourite movies of this year.

reply

[–] yatzo376 (7668) 5 years ago

Charley Varrick was the movie director Don Siegel’s made after Dirty Harry. Now that’s a double feature!
Btw, I love all three of Craig Zahlers films - Bone Tomahawk, Brawl In Cell block 99 and Dragged Across Concrete

reply

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

thanks, i'll see if i can track it down.
& i completely agree on zahler as well. he's 3 for 3 so far. i even like that puppet master film that he wrote the script for, but i have deeply lowbrow tastes.
