Good Movies / Re: Recent Viewings, Part 2
Last post by lester1/2jr - Today at 04:28:29 PMGreat title too, just "Society"
The Driver (1978) - I skimmed a review of this talking about it's amazing car chases and figured I'd give it a spin, no pun intended. It definitely exceeded my expectations. The overall presentation is little bit odd. The lead actor Ryan O'Neil is good, but doesn't really seem like he'd be about this kind of life. There's very little dialogue and while the cinematography is impressive, it doesn't look like they spent much on it besides setting up some trash cans for the cars to knock over. "Sparse" is the word I'm looking for. I'm curious as to why it's only on youtube as it seems like a very accessible "guy movie" that, in it's finer moments, can make the likes of To Live and Die in L.A. (which I will always reflexively call "To Live and Shave in L.A.") look bad.
A guy is an awesome getaway driver, so an a***ole police chief hates him. An elaborate plan by law enforcement is hatched to try and bring him down, so it's battle of wits as well as of illicit car driving skills. There is one exceptionally pretty woman who is part of the criminal underworld, but it's mostly guys either driving or haggling about crime stuff "That's 30% of the take!" "That's my offer". Highly recommended to all.
4.75 /5

Last post by Rev. Powell - Today at 12:25:25 PMSOCIETY is great. An 80s B-horror squashed together with an obvious but cutting satire ending in an orgy out of a Salvador Dali painting. Ragged, but that's part of its charm.
