  "Where's Poppa" - 1970 jet-black comedy which could never be made in today's PC background. Carl Reiner, George Segal, Trish VanDever, Ruth Gordon, Ron Leibman.

  "The Missouri Breaks" - An Arthur Penn directed eccentric western with Brando, Nicholson, Harry Dean Stanton, Randy Quaid, Fredric Forrest. A minor masterpiece. Another film which would be impossible to reproduce because of animal rights violated in spectacular "stunts". Brilliant performances.

    At th3e top of my list of the worst westerns ever made. A good friend and I were dying to see it when it came out, given the talent. We were incredibly disapointed.

      OK. I must be mistaken. I won't watch that one anymore, yielding to your superior taste and judgement.

    Vice Squad, the nastiest, grittiest little police thriller you'll ever find and one that introduces one to a "pimp stick" and an exceptional character actor, Wings Hauser; Hollywood Shuffle, a hilarious, brilliantly written and acted film about the travails of talented Afro-Americans trying to break into films: many future stars got their first role in it (introduces one to the term, "hocakes").
    Hidden, though it's become a cult classic of sorts is definitely worth seeing: an alien addicted to punk rock music and Ferraris? Yeah!
