who done it. I won't say anything more because it will ruin it for those who
haven't seen it. I don't know it it is as "Little known" as you say it is,
however. Anything he has done after he matured is generally well known, i
should think.

Just think, if those were all he'd done, he'd be wittering away his
final years signing photographs at memorabilia conventions and doing
interviews with Filmfax..

I saw it in first run. I remember it as a nice piece of work. Thanks
for the reminder. Another flick to look for.

How does 'Hackers' fit into your idea of nifty?
despite being a product of the times in which it was made, and
therefore dated even upon release, it has a young Jolie in it, and
makes a great double feature w/ 'Sneakers'.

I nominate "Eddie and the Cruisers" even though M. Pare never rose to the

Yes, definitely one of the best films about the criminal mentality.
Hoffman BEHAVES like a career criminal and not like a movie criminal.
Madara0806
LOL.
But it begs the question of what exactly WOULD Eastwood's career have
been like if he hadn't left during "Rawhide"'s hiatus and gone to
Italy to make A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS?

How about Eastwood & Lee Marvin in Paint Your Wagon

Bloodwork is okay but rather ordinary movie imo. The movie is in 2000's
and with ah so nineties theme...cop+serial killer story for a millionth
time...
If you want that theme I'd rather recommend Tightrope(1984) for the dark
atmosphere and Genevieve Bujold.
Some other Eastwood's "less known" appearances, maybe:
Bronco Billy(1980) which is a bit different kind of "western" 7/10
Paint Your Wagon(1969) with Lee Marvin, also an unusual theme for a
western.
The Eiger Sanction(1975) I liked a lot 8/10
Play Misty for Me 7/10
But arguably best of his lesser known movies would imo be The
Beguiled(1971) 9/10
Anyways, I've seen all Eastwood leads and generally like them all. Looks
like my worst IMDB rating is a 5 for City Heat with Burt Reynolds.
Everything else, watchable or a must see!

recently) 9/10
Jeff Bridges in Rancho Deluxe 8/10

Thunderbolt and Lightfoot with Bridges and Eastwood, recommended. 8/10

Back in the day, I had a roommate who liked to drop sunshine acid and watch
"Paint Your Wagon".

I rented it when I was a kid. I thought it was pretty exceptional even then.

I quite like "City Heat". I find it preferable to the "Every Which Way"
films, which seem to get a better reception.

We have a different taste for humour then...I really like those
boxing/biker/monkey movies. :)
Although I'm not a big fan of Sondra Locke...Rarely a good idea to make
movies with your girlfriend/wife, another example being Jill Ireland in
Bronson flicks...she can't act her way out of a paperback.

Maybe he would have gotten the lead in McCloud instead of Dennis
Weaver, or he would have joined Jack Cassidy, Leslie Nielsen, John
Vernon and James Olson (and others) as a perpetual Special Guest Star
on every cop and detective series in the late 60's and thru the 70's.
I imagine Clint would have gotten tired of that Quinn Martin/Mystery
Movie TV grind and started directing television then working his way
into feature films. Clint didn't have the raw acting talent or range
in his younger days IMO to have made it as a film superstar without
the Leone movies giving him an opportunity outside the Hollywood
system; there is no way I think he would have gotten the Dirty Harry
role if he hadn't done the Leone films first and made a name for
himself in feature films. Or if he was determined to remain in
feature films without the Leone films he would have probably been a
supporting actor in bigger films who used his earnings to finance his
own smaller directorial projects as Cassevetes did. Either way I
think he would have wound up directing feature films but I doubt he
would have become a big a star as he did, and he would be remembered
today more for his directing than his film roles.

And all because James Coburn turned down the $25,000 fee. Or so the
story goes.

_Abe Lincoln in Illinois_: Raymond Massey as Abe, and Ruth Gordon as Mary

_Panic in Year Zero!_ starring and directed by Ray Milland, and Frankie

Pope. Also starring Laurence Olivier, John Gielgud, and Vittorio de Sica.
_Face of a Fugitive_: Obscure but satisfying Western with Fred MacMurray

traffic on Broadway just by walking down the sidewalk together back in
the 'teens. You get that impression seeing Lionel Barrymore in
Griffith's "America" from 1924. Barrymore is the villainous Walter
Butler, and dressed in breeches that practically show which side he's
dressing on. He was 46 and moves like a panther, and Griffith never
misses a chance to show him moving.
Dorothy Parker reviewed them in 1919:
"Once again the Barrymore brothers have shown what they can do when
they try. They have easily outclassed all comers in this season's
histrionic marathon - they have even broken their own records in
Redemption and The Copperhead. Their roles - John plays Gianetto, the
sensitive young artist, and Lionel, Neri, the great, swashbuckling
mercenary - afford a brilliantly effective study in contrasts. The
part of Gianetto, exquisitely portrayed no less by gesture and pose
than by voice, is, in its morbid ecstasies, its impotent strivings,
its subtle shadings , undoubtedly far more difficult than the
blustering role of Neri.
Yet the physical strain of Lionel Barrymore's performance must in
itself be enormous. How his voice can bear up all evening under Neri's
hoarse roars of rage and reverberating bellows of geniality is one of
the great wonders of the age. Not an extraordinarily big man in
reality, he seems tremendous as he swaggers about the stage; in his
fight scene, he goes through a mass formation of supernumeraries much
as Elmer Oliphant used to go through the Navy line. And in some
strange way, he manages to make the character almost likeable."
And that's exactly what he does in "America". If you're used to Old
Man Potter or Dr. Gillespie, it's a revelation.
