70's (shot in 80's) Heist film, well crafted by Michael Mann and starring a particularly unlikeable James Caan.

Unbelievably, I haven't seen it yet. Looking forward to it.

I don't know why I haven't watched this film before since I've heard so many good things about it. Anyway, I really enjoyed it, especially the performances of both Voight and Reynolds. Excellent acting. And the dueling banjos scene was all kinds of awesome. I think I'll have to read the novel now.

unforgettable film.

I think I saw Amityville 2 a long time ago. I see on rottentomatoes and IMB it got horrible reviews. It's on youtube for free. ATM.

The Thing (1982)...A horror movie you never get fed up of watching..::cool::

The first "Death Wish" movie.
First time viewing.
Quite enjoyable.
Haven't really seen Bronson in anything other than ?I think? The great escape.
Was the accent put on?

Anyways yeah I found it solidly entertaining, chilling in parts, funny in others.
I've recently acquired all of them, so I'll check out the rest.

The sequel is a good watch - pretty mean spirited too. After that the DW series goes a bit nuts but still worth your time.

The Streetfighter is probably my favourite Bronson performance, such a quality actor.

So what did you think of it, SC? I haven't seen it since probably 1977 TV.

When I first saw it in the theaters in 1976 it scared the heck out of me..even watching it now Sculpt it still provides enough action and chills..so yeah to me this movie is one of the classics of the 70s..great movie to have in your collection::cool::

I noticed many films of this era get hit with being plodding, and many are. I read that of this film. Of course actors like Peck and Remick can help alleviate a plodding script. Did you find it plodding or very engaging all the way through?

Gargoyles (1972) This was a low budget tv movie that I really enjoyed. It was fun, definitely not scary but it was good for what it was-very much of it's time but a blast.
