I dont think Ive said enough about how this movie heavily inspired Headshot , TNCFU and Shadow .
Absolute Masterpiece .
And like Connie Nielsen once said to me, Friedkin is an absolute Madman.
now that we know that Natalie Harp is writing this pathetic drivel, T***p's postings take on a quasi-melancholy tone. Nabokov could decode them as oblique love letters addressed to a (deceased) (or decrepit, decaying) former lover (who may not have existed, ,exactly.). what girl hasn't adored a Fascist Daddy even if at second hand?
Bondarchuk's WAR AND PEACE is trending, and as much as it gets justified attention for its insane scale, the real triumph is how it used thousands extras to stage layers of war action on a mile-wide Z-axis; every shot a living painting inside a huge canvas

@neilbelieves I first heard of the movie when driving around with my Dad. Stuck in the Middle with You came on and I asked which song this is. He told me about the song and it was from Reservoir Dogs and a guy had his ear cut off to the song. I asked to watch the movie, and Dad said No! 😂🤣
Roger Ebert on "The Friends of Eddie Coyle" (1973):
"'The Friends of Eddie Coyle' (1973) is not a high-strung gangster film, it doesn’t have a lot of overt excitement in it, and it doesn’t go in for much violence. He gives us a man, invites our sympathy for him, and then watches almost sadly as his time runs out. And “The Friends of Eddie Coyle” works so well because Eddie is played by Robert Mitchum, and Mitchum has perhaps never been better.
He has always been one of our best screen actors: sardonic, masculine, quick-witted, but slow to reveal himself. He has never been in an absolutely great film; he doesn’t have masterpieces behind him like Brando or Cary Grant. More than half his films have been conventional action melodramas, and it is a rare summer without at least one movie in which Mitchum wears a sombrero and lights bombs with his cigar. But give him a character and the room to develop it, and what he does is wonderful. Eddie Coyle is made for him: a weary middle-aged man, but tough and proud; a man who has been hurt too often in life not to respect pain; a man who will take chances to protect his own territory."
("The Friends of Eddie Coyle", Roger Ebert, 1973)

The Omen 50th Anniversary Sting Tribute
The Omen is a masterpiece, turning the “demon child” trope into a sleek, political and religious thriller. Gregory Peck plays it dead serious, Richard Donner delivers iconic set pieces, and Jerry Goldsmith’s score chills to the bone
