    Not among their best, but it has its moments.

    Also worth watching, is the sequel in all but name, The Seven Ups. After trailing in Hackmans wake throughout The French Connection, Roy Sheider gets his own gritty cop thriller, also with a white knuckle car chase.

    Never seen The Seven Ups before, but hoping to do so quite soon. Read the car chase in this one is good too.

    It's in the same style as The French Connection. There's a good chance that if you liked The French Connection, you'll also like The Seven-Ups.

    Don't doubt it! Will try to find a copy. :-)

    Assassins

    Man, do I love this movie - just the right amount of 90's cheesiness, with a very over the top performance by Banderas.

    Yes, but as I didn't have any gas in it, it didn't work :))

    A good Richard Donner effort! Much fun to be had there.

    I agree. I love the final part of the film, with Stallone and Banderas waiting for each other to make a move.

    I had a feeling you were the one I've talked to about the movie over the years @chrisisall, it's always a blast.

    @mattjoes, that long drawn out finale is definitely great. I love the profuse, incessant, angered sweating of Banderas as he hangs around impatiently, while Stallone relaxes in the AC of the bank.

    I watched this recently and really enjoyed it; Banderas is excellent, "No more chit chat"

    DRACULA (1973)

    I hadn t seen this since I was a kid, when it thoroughly scared me, no doubt helped by the ominous score. Jack Palance is an obvious choice for the part, with his bat-like face.

    This is a fantastic film. I'm due another viewing soon too. There are so many great scenes in this, but I'd say my favourites are the first meeting in the taxi and also the attack on Electra's residence.

    Stallone made some great action films in the 90's, including the brilliant Cliffhanger, The Specialist and Demolition Man .

    Assassins is a spectacular film. Each time I pop it in, I enjoy it like it's my first time. Terrific movie.

    Been watching a lot of Burt Reynolds movies recently myself. Haven't had the time to submit a debriefing, but most of the ones I've seen just shows he was more than a typed leading man. Hustle especially ended up being a favorite of mine. Absolutely terrific and melancholic neo-noir.

    Hustle is very good. Sharkeys Machine is also under appreciated. One favourable critic did state it has " the best opening sequence since Dirty Harry!"

    One, Two, Three (1961)

    Another good one from Billy Wilder, fun movie.

    The Color Purple (1985)

    Decent film.

    Tron (1982)

    The effects was might impressive at the time, but today they are pretty dated.

    Labyrinth (1982)

    Yuuuuuuuck, trash.

    The Meaning of Life (1986)

    I've never found Monty Python movies funny, and this was no exception.

    Oh yes! I need to get to Sharky’s Machine which is probably the next on my list. Shame that Reynolds didn’t get more decent films on the way from the eighties and onward, ending up getting wasted in films like Smokey and the Bandit II (a bad sequel to otherwise a great comedy) and the Cannonball Run films (I do enjoy both, but it’s apparent Hal Needham lost his spark by then).

    I would’ve loved to see Burt more in serious films like Hustle and Sharky’s Machine.

    Blood and Black Lace (1964) dir. Mario Bava. Arrow Video dual format. One of the earliest giallo films, filmed in Bava's typical stylised way. Lots of primary colours and coloured lights. And it looks smashing in Arrow's 2k restoration.

    Been thinking about getting a digital copy since Saturday, but happened to stumble across McQ (1974) on Youtube earlier this evening (in quite good quality too!).

    It's very entertaining watching John Wayne running around like an old Frank Bullitt (or Harry Callahan), only in a Seattle setting instead of San Francisco. But where Wayne might not be very convincing as a Detective Lieutenant being in his late sixties at the time, the film itself is not that bad at all. There's a nice twist to the plot, some nice scenery (particularly in one of the very last scenes), and a funky score by Elmer Bernstein. What more would you want from a 70's crime film like this?

    I'll be buying that digital copy anyway, as I know I want to watch this film again.

    Watching a few 70's films these days, and after watching 1972's The Getaway by Sam Peckinpah, I continued with The Killer Elite (1975) this weekend. Much like Peckinpah's 1972 film with Steve McQueen, there's several nice action scenes in this one – featuring James Caan and Robert Duvall. Although Caan and Duvall are always enjoyable to watch, the film itself didn't entertain me as much as The Getaway did, but it wasn't bad.

    Tonight:Darkest Hour (2017). I must admit that I just love biopics. And this one was the best I've seen in ten years' time or so. I'm not saying it has to be authentic. I'm aware that a lot is fiction around factual events to make them more dramatic. So it is obviously here, and I know it can be misused as propaganda from certain circles. But the mixed reviews I read beforehand were not limited to Nazis pointing out that Churchill was in fact a warmonger, but also that he was treated unfairly in this movie by portraying him as a drunkard etc. So something must have been done right.

    In fact, this movie was just about flawless in its execution, direction, cinematogaphy, and production design. The musical score was also quite nice. I'd rate it 9/10 - which puts in on the same level as my top Bond movies. (And no, nobody and hardly any movie is perfect.)

    The only drawback is that I haven't managed to activate the Blu-ray extras on my eight-year old player...so I never learned how the hell they changed Gary Oldman into Churchill. At any rate, I can say that at no time during the movie I felt that Churchill, in the remotest sense, had any similarity to Gary Oldman. Marvellous.

    Watched it again the other day. One of my favorite versions. Palance was one of the most terrifying, yet sympathetic Draculas. I really need to get the Blu-ray. The DVD contained the original TV cut, whereas the earlier VHS and Blu-ray featured the more bloody theatrical version that played in Europe.

    McQ is enjoyable fare. And it does have a splendidly staged car chase for its finale.
    I love The Getaway but I find The Killer Elite quite weak..consider g it's Peckinpah and having two very good leads in Caan and Duvall

    I saw it on tv a few years later. What scenes were cut? If you know.

    Yeah, The Killer Elite didn't exactly live up to the expectations when having such a quality cast unfortunately. Having a soft spot for 70's action films, it was enjoyable enough, though.

    NOSFERATU (1922)

    Wonderful film, still a top five Dracula.
