I watched these two this weekend. Both very good.

Watched Trucks the other day, another Stephen King short story, same as Maximum Overdrive. Anybody see Trucks?
 
About two years after I moved to FL (1990), I missed my turn off I-4 coming back from a concert.

I got off at the next exit, and rather than try to figure out how to get back, decided to turn around...in an orange grove.

My 71 torino gt did not have a limited slip axle and I got stuck.

As I walked back towards the road, over the horizon I saw the structure I had seen on the way in, a gas station and restaurant, but I hadn't noticed the name until just then-

DIXIE BOY.

Gulp.

...and I had to cross a road to get to it.

...and that road went down hill on both sides, meaning I could only see about 2-300 feet either way.

Being dark and in unfamiliar territory...even though I knew it was fiction...

You bet your *** I ran across that road.
 
I love Michael Mann's style in Manhunter. That style was copied into the first season of Miami Vice. William Friedkin got sued for copying that style in To Live And Die In L.A.

Both movies starred William Peterson! Manhunter f-ed up Peterson's mental state for a while.
 
Here is a oldie but a goldie "The Lady Eve" with two A listers and a B. That we just watched.
 

That damned monkey crapped in my Orio's :lol:


Last night I watched "Falling Down" with Michael Douglas - for the first time ever. It appeared on Netflix here recently...so I thought I'd see what the fuss was about. Really enjoyed the entire film.
I wasn't so sure to begin with Robert Duvall in it....I don't particularly like his films... but this was good.

When I watched Falling Down I thought it was amazing but that the end seemed like it was changed to make the movie more ‘Hollywood’ or more appealing g to larger audience. I have wondered if the original screenplay was different. Classic movie and great choice!
 
First time ever??

View attachment 1950637

That one is a classic. Best part is when he's in the "park" with the 2 vatos. LOL
Oh yeah....I enjoyed that part - one of the few shorts I had seen.

But yes.....first time ever watching it. :lol:

I liked the part when he fires that Bazooka thing down the road tunnel....and the kid on a bike has to tell him how to use it. Kid is looking for the film-set cameras.... :rofl:
