John Badham is a curious director and I think he gets it right in this
one. After all Roy Scheider never stunk it up in his illustrious career
and he hits all the right notes in this one as Frank Murphy the Vietnam
Vet trying to escape the memories of his war experience. When Malcolm
McDowell shows up (and honestly, who plays an a--hole better than
McDowell in his heyday?) to b...

Jack Nicholson's transition from brilliant character actor to self-parodic
superstar happened sometime in the 1980s. 'The Border' is closer to his best
1970s work ('Five Easy Pieces', 'The Last Detail', 'The King Of Marvin
Gardens', 'One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest') than to most of his subsequent
output. Two of his best performances in recent years have been in movies
directed...

Stripes is firmly planted in my vernacular as one of those films that
helped shape me as a twelve year old boy. It is also one of those films
that made me become the film lover that I am today. I know films like
Star Wars and it's two sequels, First Blood and Rambo, Jaws and it's
sequel, Halloween, Back To The Future, Ghostbusters, Raiders and it's
sequels and Stripes ( there a...

1941 is considered to be Steven Spileberg's folly, a screwball farce
about the Japanese invading America after pearl harbour, starring some
of the greatest actors and comedians that ever lived. Some people hate
it, I love it. Sorry for all you haters, but I guess the things I like
are the things you dislike, but for the life of me, I can't understand
why this movie is considere...

It's really a shame that Terrence Malick didn't have the brilliant
career he deserved at Hollywood. Shot with a nearly shoestring budget,
"Badlands" remains one of the most dazzling debut movies of all time.
Malick's legend based on his (long) absence has helped it to become a
cult-movie. Inspired by a tragic short news item which took place in
1959 (a young couple who decides ...

Probably one of the most controversial films ever made, the Wild Bunch was
equally hated and admired upon it's release over 30 years ago. Even today,
as proof of it's staying power, it is still widely debated if Sam Peckinpah
made a masterpiece or a monstrosity. Personally, I'm of the firm belief that
Peckinpah contributed one of the finest American films of the last century.The ch...

There are many bad "issues" movies out there, but this is not one of them.
In a bad movie, all of the racist characters would be one dimensional and
one hundred percent evil; here, Steiger is allowed to play a prejudiced man
who is actually sympathetic and capable of growth (hence the Oscar). In a
great twist, Virgil Tibbs himself is shown to be capable of prejudice, as he
