Early 70s Crime Mish-Mash
Mar 6th : The Nickel Ride
Mar 13th: The Outfit
Mar 20th: The Last Run
Mar 27th: Hickey and Boggs
No clever title, not much of a unifying thread. All these movies were made from 1971 to 1973. They all involve crime, criminals or private eyes. Some of them have that existential malaise and fatalism so prevalent in the genre in this era, others are straight ahead action films... the only thing they really have in common is that I wanna watch them this month.

Hey Mister, don't downplay yourself here... this looks really good, and cohesive. I bet we'll discover that they all have something like naked butts or weird vocabulary in common, too.
ReplyDeleteoh hell yes. no better reason. i will miss half of these cause i will be in ny but hopefully back in for the last ride wooooop
ReplyDeleteJonah's gotta make it for The Outfit, I postponed it so he could make it. Timothy Carey has a good crazy role in it. And Duvall's in it.
