A great Don Siegel film. Though, the R1 DVD by Universal is terrible. I hear there's a UK widescreen out, though. I don't know what made it so, but you're right that the 70's were something special when it came to crime films. It's been awhile for me with the Laughing Policeman (Matthau was great on either side of the law). One of the few Aldrich films I never saw was Hustle. Going to have to rectify that. I look forward to that post on those films.

Good to see some respect for <i>Romeo is Bleeding</i> - excellent neo noir. <br />I personally feel the 70s, which is well represented in your choices, was the best time for crime pictures.<br /><i>Charley Varrick</i><br /><i>Laughing Policeman</i><br />and <i>Hustle</i> are some personal favorites that I must get around to blogging about some time.Colinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17660910980565272494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3469856753989183551.post-79360403076367246112009-02-12T14:33:00.000-08:002009-02-12T14:33:00.000-08:00Yes.

It was about a black woman and a sheriff in the south. Darn. I can't remember. I think though the woman was played by Jada Pinkett. Anyway there was blood and great drama. Walk this way? or some kind similar title. Any one know?Gay Deganihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03609404497703663916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3469856753989183551.post-84024969066836786292009-02-12T13:55:00.000-08:002009-02-12T13:55:00.000-08:0052 Pickup and Hard Times are the two I've seen, an...52 Pickup and Hard Times are the two I've seen, and a long time ago.

I mention that because H&B has a distinct Don Siegel feel to it. It's such a rare film that Amazon and eBay are only selling the crappy DVD (looking like someone just ran a digital recorder at a TV displaying the video tape) at <I>premium</I> used prices. And you can't even find the VHS version for sale there, either.<BR/><BR/>You might try a Blockbuster or some independent video rental store (how many of those are still around?) to see if they have it in their stock. Heck, I'll lend it to you if you can't get your hands on it.<BR/><BR/>What two have you seen off of this list, Corey?le0pard13https://www.blogger.com/profile/09421175808461787862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3469856753989183551.post-54296424006531959312009-02-12T08:32:00.000-08:002009-02-12T08:32:00.000-08:00Looks like I have some viewing to catch up on.
