1) Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia -

.

Probably best known by young people by this gif -

.

2) The Outfit, an underappreciated Robert Duvall film based on the old "Parker" series of books. They've tried to bring the Parker series to film lots of times ( Point Blank, Payback, etc....). This Duvall adaption was the closest to the books -

.

3) Thief, probably my favorite film, one of Michael Manns best, and Caan is great in it too. The opening is one of my favorites in heist films -

.

4) Prime Cut . A nasty little Lee Marvin / Gene Hackman crime film you don't hear much about -

.

WAR (Hindi). My favorite foreign film of 2019.

Pay attention and you may be abe to foresee the ending. It's a twister!

Movies made in India are very different than movies made in the USA and for no apparent reason ... jump into an elaborately choreographed dance sequence somewhere in the middle.

Kind of like a James Bond movie where Bond wins a million at the roulette table, kills the casino owner, and then starts dancing with evey casino player in the background for the next 5 minutes.

And then he picks up his chips and drives off in his Lamborgini with his faithful female companion who is actually and unknowingly the evil villian who plans to take over the IFBB and everyone on this GetBig Board until her hostge demands are met.

Hindi movies are a bit wierd like that ... but definitely worth watching.

The Possession of Joel Delaney. Nasty old occult film about a Puerto Rican serial killer that jumps into a wealthy NYC white boy, and causes havoc. The trailer kinda sucks, but the film is actually pretty good if you like grindhouse stuff. I think you can find the full film on youtube -

.

---------------------

Vice Squad - Wings Hauser as Ramrod, the killer cowboy pimp in early 1980's LA chasing down a wayward ho before she can testify. Hauser's performance steals the show, he's a spectatular bad guy in this -

.

---------------------

Cruising. Pretty well known old Al Pacino film about a cop who must track down a murderous leather queen in NYC's underground gay scene. It's well known, but I doon't know how many people have actually seen it. Everyone deserves to see it even just once, it's pretty wild for a mainstream film -

I remember Cruising. Al Pacino is an amazing actor. I remember seeing this not knowing fully what it was about. Pre home computer and internet. I remember thinking this is like a gay porno movie. LOL.

also search hidden gems collection for more titles

FUNK, I think you suggested THE LOOKOUT a while back, so I took your suggestion, watched it, and enjoyed it ... and now I gotta suggest it to others.

WAR (Hindi) is also strongly suggested ... for a different type of entertainment as I explained earlier.

BB/OldTimer, That CRUISING movie was about two cops (one gay, one straight) looking for a guy who killed gay night-club patrons ... if I recall correctly.

Interesting thing about that film is that one of the Santa Monica Gold's Gym members got a modeling job for a photographer and his picture was use on a huge wall-poster that became very popular up and down the west coast and supposedly made the photographer very wealthy.
while the model merely received the standard $300 fee.

That poster appeared in the background in one of the Cruising movie scenes and although it wasn't porno-graphic, the model hoped that his family would not see it.

So one night the whole family went to see that movie and as soon as he saw that poster flashed on screen ... he yelled, "Who wants popcorn?!!'
in an attempt to get their attention off the screen.

You old time Gold's Gym members may recall him as the bodybuilder who was scared shitless by the Hulk in the original Hulk TV series and a close friend of the "Barbarian Brothers".

He also appeared in "PLAYBOY" magazine holding the model of the month on his shoulders. That model was later on murdered by her photographer .... so some GetBiggers may recall that true life episode.

He passed away ... way too young ... a couple of years ago.

Other than that ... all is well.
