Gorky Park (1983): Sleuth Renko, [Hurt] irks the KGB after a stomach churning triple murder in bleak Soviet days. A top cast with Marvin; as a ruthless, self–regarding American on a dodgy mink heist. Apted had Dennis Potter to adapt Martin Cruz Smith’s thriller. enigma192.
North by Northwest (1959): Hitchcock at his best. The perfect blend of movie thriller ingredients. Grant, Saint and Mason were perfectly cast. A benchmark, action production for 50 years.; DVD ~~$59.95~~ $40
Tommy (1975): Among Russell's most undisciplined, scrappy work. 'The Who' backed sequences proved interminable. Oliver Reed was hopelessly miscast and Roger Daltrey required to convey more than he could handle. Engima192.
Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975): Inhabits a deeply unsettling no man's land of reality and consummate imagination. Weir's early New Wave 'mystery' has lingered in my memory for 35 years – Enigma192.
