What a powerful movie. My favorite scene is when Ledo imagines taking the cops gun and they are tossing it back and forth over his head. The helplessness of the cop without his gun I found humorous. It was also a skillfull direction to cut it back to him just staring at it. Very well done film.Quote:

The intricacies that went into making/directing that film are nothing short of breathtaking. It's hard for me to find a favorite scene in that movie, I love 'em all.Quote:

Haha, I think it was Vonnegut or Bukowski that asked the question whether writing while drunk made it better and easier or whether it was just an illusion. In Hunter's case, it added to his satiric appeal.

Haha, nice new addition to your signature. I was just reading that last night and found it to be quite poetic advice. Its that kind of insight that will save my plant this time around
Cisco Pike (1972) is the story of a former music star, played by Kris Kristofferson, who gets out of jail after serving a sentence for marijuana dealing. Gene Hackman is the corrupt narc that had busted Cisco, who then rips-off 100 keys of bud and coerces Cisco into selling 10 thousand dollars worth of it for him in three days.
Excellent cast includes Karen Black, Harry Dean Stanton, Doug Sahm and, in a bit role, Hugh "Wavy Gravy" Romney.
Who'll Stop the Rain (1978) Nick Nolte plays a tough Vietnam Vet turned merchant marine who also smuggles weed from Southeast Asia. He reluctantly accepts an offer from his partner to up the ante and bring back a shipment of hard drugs. The consequences are not good. VERY exciting film, with great action and plot. Adapted from the National Book Award winner, The Dog Soldiers, by Robert Stone. Nolte's character, Ray Hicks, was loosely based on beat hero/Hog Farm bus-driver Neil Cassady.
Note: these are both great films that happen to have drug-related themes, and they each have some humorous moments, but they are NOT "comedies".
