ORIGINAL: Scott_ 20. Vanishing Point "Hey Kowalski, you out there?” Loaded on "Ups” Kowalski bets he can drive from San Francisco to Denver in 15 hours and thats the simple set-up to the greatness that is Vanishing Point. Cool. That's how I would describe Vanishing Point. You got the roar of that gorgeous 70 Dodge Challenger (best car ever) acting as your soundtrack across the desert highways of America, speed is freedom here. What we have is basically a 90 minute chase film that the action directors of today wouldn't have the patience to pull off. We are spoiled with beautiful cinematography with wide shots, shots that last for more than a second and we still get that sense of speed and danger without the need for editing tourettes. I remember watching this with my mate on one his movie nights as a double bill with Easy Rider, he's an Easy Rider kinda guy but I'm all about Kowalski and his badass adventure across California. If you've not seen Vanishing Point before I highly recommend you get your hands on it. Great Scott  I love this film,i've reviewed it on The Strange/Weird thread not so long ago,a forgotten cult classic/stoner film/high octane chase road movie. 21. Bad Boys II Liked the first but number two,well the CGI looked like CGI and spoilt it for me,i like real stunts not fake.Still a decent action film. 19. The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. Great western,great cast and well directed,but and what a long title. 18. District 9 This is awesome on Blu-Ray,and one of the best Sci/Fi films of this decade.And the CGI looks real. 17. Black Hawk Down Well it's Ridley Scott's stab at a war film,and it put's you right in the line of fire,just awesome,and yes great score. 16. The Getaway Another cult classic from the 70's,i'm well impressed, one of Sam Peckinpah's best films,great story fine acting. quote:
15. Dawn of the Dead (78) I invested in the awesome 4 discer DVD set a while ago and found myself preferring Dario Argentos cut of the film to Romeros, it’s more focused on the horror aspect and is a much tighter film than Romeros edit but either way its a great film. Gotta mention the Goblin score too, t’is amazing. Again well impressed,i only know a few people that have seen Dario Argeto's cut of Dawn ;aka ZOMBI ,and fully agree it's a far tighter and to me more horrific version,as there's less humor.
