Tonight's Stinker
And God Said to Cain (1970)
https://youtu.be/Mk0y_11w_Ms?si=uzH3FlvWlvIDYUdb

Spaghetti western with Klaus Kinski....
After ten years on a chain gang, Kinski is pardoned for a crime he didn't commit....
He sets out for revenge, meeting the son of the man who framed him, who doesn't know who he is.... He asks the young man to tell his father to expect him & gives him a canteen....
Kinski then goes to an old friend to buy a horse & a rifle.... The old friend expects a storm, as do the people of the nearby town...
Back in the town, the young man tells his father about the meeting & gives him the canteen... His father knows what it means, and sends his crew out to kill Kinski....
Kinski uses the storm & an old underground tunnel to pick off the guards one by one....
As the bodies pile up, nerves are frayed, & the young man grows increasingly suspicious.....

Decent little spaghetti western, decent paced....

It's true - QUIZ SHOW was made for old folks.  :bouncegiggle: It's probably quite a testament to the film that kids could recognize it was good, in spite of it having no CGI, no exploding heads, and few or no funny gags. It did resonate even more the second time I watched it (in my 20s).

Quote from: Alex on November 22, 2025, 10:37:02 AMUntil you mentioned it, I wasn't aware that he was playing Micky. Most of the time, you'll see him in costume, sneering at whoever is about to be his victim. They've dealt with the limited SFX budget by not having him share the screen very much with full-size people, from what I remember (although I would have to say I watched this during a 12-hour night shift where my other option for entertainment would have been to chat with a right-wing racist guy, I chose this as the more interesting option.
I'm checking it out later. I don't expect a lot. I'm interested though. Mainly cause of him, even if it's limited.

saw this on tv as a kid, though it was so bad that it turned me off horror films for a long time
:bluesad:

Makes me sad. Love it. I get it though.

Quote from: M.10rda on November 23, 2025, 10:43:55 AMBecause the Rev very correctly contributed ED WOOD to the conversation, here's another I think has been overlooked - not because it's a personal favorite but because of its historical significance:

QUIZ SHOW (1994)
Directed by the late Robert Redford; starring Ralph Fiennes, Rob Morrow, and John Turturro.

This was an awards-season darling in late '94/early '95, and for many it was their underdog contender against FORREST GUMP and PULP FICTION - a serious, intellectual period drama about Real Issues - yawn! - instead of, uh, whatever those other two movies are about. I saw it in the theater when it was released and liked it - my Dad, an English and sometimes History teacher - loved it and insisted it was the best of those three films. It was nominated for Best Picture (and many other Oscars). I've only seen it once subsequently, maybe in the mid-00s - but I would now agree with my late father that it is (if not better than FG and PF at least) more timely (or timeless) today than those films. As QUIZ SHOW is about media representation, journalistic ethics, propaganda, corporatism, truth, honor, charlatanry, et al........ actually it's extremely relevant today!
I saw it once, but was a kid. I should watch it again as an adult. I didn't dislike it, but it's been like thirty years. I'll appreciate it more now.
