AMERICAN
GRAFFITI (dir: George Lucas, PG) - Michelle says, "The first
night of college, I wandered up and down Main Street with a crowd of
other students (that’s how all the freshmen moved, in enormous
anxious groups) while every upper classman seemed to drive past us,
heckling, 'Freshman!' When I tell people about it, I always say that
it was like this movie, that wild but innocent social scene, being
outside on a crowded bright street at night, making noise and trying
to get attention. Except here, that scene is ending for these small
town American kids, who are about to head to college and have a single
night to resolve their apprehension about it. It’s a fun watch just
for the cast, a super-young Richard Dreyfus, Ron Howard before his
Happy Days and directing career, and newcomer Harrison Ford in his
cowboy hat and big truck. It was only George Lucas’s second major
movie, but its nostalgic sweetness and its confidence creates a more
mature and evenhanded work than his next release, a little thing
called STAR WARS."

SCARECROW (dir: Jerry
Schatzberg, R) - Bart says, "I hate Al Pacino. I think he's an
over-acting buffoon and I'm really glad I don't know him personally.
That said, there are two films that I love him in. The first is
DONNIE BRASCO, because his rampaging egomania makes the petty
gangster character he plays seem that much more pathetic. The other
is this nearly forgotten road movie he stars in with Gene Hackman
where he plays such a sweet and goofy loser you forget it's him. Not
a whole lot happens in this sad and funny little character study,
but it's a perfect example of why you should care about American
film in the Seventies." |

PAT
GARRETT & BILLY THE KID (dir: Sam
Peckinpah, R) - Bart says, "Most people remember this
film for Bob Dylan's soundtrack which features 'Knockin' On Heaven's
Door,' and for his memorable performance in a small role. However,
what these people seem to be missing is that this is one of the
greatest Westerns ever made, and probably the last really important
one (no offence UNFORGIVEN fans). Part of the problem is that the
studio took the leisurely-paced film away from Peckinpah during
editing, so it was originally released in a mangled form. But you
need to watch the current, definitive version of this tribute to
dudes who are willing to kill an obsolete outlaw buddy in order to
keep that buddy's legend alive." |
