[Held for Ransom]

Around here, Two Lane Blacktop is well known, but not outside of the Pontiac camp. Same with Cannonball, Thunderbolt and Lightfoot, and Hollywood Knights. Death Race 2000 was OK, but I don't know how much air play it gets. Same goes with the old Martin/Lewis films.

The offbeat movie I liked back in the day was California Dreaming. And speaking of Sellers, I liked the movie Being There.

Hopscotch with Walter Matthau

[Dennis H.]

Return to Macon County with Don Johnson and Nick Nolte. Good 'B' movie about a 57 chevy.

Children of Men

[QUOTE=Lightfoot;6064409]Excellant choice for the topic.
Me and my brothers started watching that when it came on super late on a Saturday night, about 40 years ago.

If you like that one you will like Zulu (1964 film)

Remember watching Sole Survivor if I remember you are believing the one airman is "the sole survivor" but turns out it a different kind of "sole".

John Carpenter's "They Live". It reminds me of the cheesy sci-fi/horror movies I used to like as a kid.

"Ride With the Devil". A civil war era movie directed by Ang Lee, starring Tobey Maguire and Jewel and filmed in the KC area.

"The Haunting", the original 1963 version. Based on the Shirley Jackson novel "The Haunting of Hill House" I saw it when I was 10 when it was new in the theater and it scared the crap out of me.

"Homicidal."




Murder camp from the 60's.

I like Vigo Mortensen for his odd ball movies. Two come to mind:

A History of Violence, and The Road.

[Simple Man]

"The DI", with Jack Webb. He's a Marine drill instructor on Parris Island in the 50's.

Another of mine. I actually bought a copy off of E-bay a few years ago to watch with my kids. I too watched it when I was probably 8-10 years old, probably on WGN when I lived in Chicago.
It’s when they used to count on acting, suspense, and plot to scare you, instead of special effects and chainsaws.

As far haunted house movies go, another one came out a few years back that didn’t get much attention. It’s called “The Others”. Staring Nicole Kidman of all unscary people! I also bought this movie off of the internet. The kids and I have watched it about 10 times. Good old fashioned ghost story that doesn’t count on special effects

The Day After - 1983

Soylent Green - 1973

"The Quiet Man" - 1952. Difficult to argue with John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara. Really liked the plot, as well as the acting.

No Pontiacs, but a nice sequence of a bicycle built for two.

Dr. Stranglove,...the classic scene where Slim Pickens is riding the bomb like a bucking bronco. What a blast!

[bird72]

There was a dreary, offbeat, sci-fi movie called Melancholia I like, and it is inexplicable that I do. Oh, and to spoil the ending, the world ends.

That machine is the property of the Coca-Cola Company!

Being it's getting close to Halloween, how about the 1944 movie The Uninvited. Also the Phantasm series of movies.
