Frenzy to me is a thriller Hamish,or as you say,giallo......

Harold and Maude is a film I've never been able to take to.


Any fans of WESTWORLD in the house?

Yep. I even like Futureworld even though it's a bit of a cheesy sequel.

I'm a fan of WESTWORLD
and it deserves a special edition
hopefully a Benjamin/Brolin commentary with the making of featurette which at the moment is stupidly sold seperately
this film is a classic

[Demdike@Cult Labs]

Its wierd!

I've never heard of The Squeeze until Reaper started promoting it.

I think the Brit thriller THE SQUEEZE is a classic 70's thriller
although my fave Brit thriller is THE LONG GOOD FRIDAY (made in 79 but not released until 81)
THE SQUEEZE and GET CARTER are strong contenders for the best ever made
Guy Richie's and Nick Love's films are crap

When you say this it makes me wonder even more why i haven't heard of it.

Laughably you can also get the bare bones version in a set with Get Carter (Caine) and True Romance for £3.

Sadly Klute has never had a UK dvd release. Can't be bothered ordering it from the States just yet. Steelyard Blues is another i must look out for off the top of my head.

Steelyard Blues!! gawd that takes me back, found that in a video store in Banff, the lengths we went to eh??

Totally agree!

NO modern gangster film can capture the grittiness and sleaziness of seventies Brit crime flicks.

GET CARTER is Caine's finest hour,and Warner hopefully have this earmarked for a BD release soon!

I'm just glad THE SQUEEZE has been given the digital treatment!
