Description

Deliverance In the unfamiliar Appalachian backwoods, a weekend of male bonding for four inexperienced campers turns into a gut-wrenching fight for survival against the merciless forces of nature and the brutality of man. Their only escape is a terrifying canoe ride down the raging rapids of the Chattooga River. If their heartless pursuers don't kill them, the treacherous waters just might. Get Carter (1971) A vicious London gangster, Jack Carter, travels to Newcastle for his brother's funeral. He begins to suspect that his brother's death was not an accident and sets out to follow a complex trail of lies, deceit, cover-ups and backhanders through Newcastle's underworld, leading, he hopes, to the man who ordered his brother killed. Because of his ruthlessness Carter exhibits all the unstopability of the android in Terminator, or Walker in Point Blank, and he and the other characters in the film are prone to sudden, brutal acts of violence. Dog Day Afternoon THE ROBBERY SHOULD HAVE TAKEN TEN MINUTES. FOUR HOURS LATER THE BANK WAS LIKE A CIRCUS SIDESHOW. EIGHT HOURS LATER, IT WAS THE HOTTEST THING ON LIVE TV. TWELVE HOURS LATER, IT WAS ALL HISTORY. AND IT’S ALL TRUE. On a hot Brooklyn afternoon, two optimistic losers set out to rob a bank. Sonny (Al Pacino) is the mastermind, Sal (John Cazale) is the follower, and disaster is the result. Because the cops, crowds, TV cameras and even the pizza man have arrived. The "well-planned" heist is now a circus. Pacino and director Sidney Lumet, collaborators on Serpico, reteam for this boisterous thriller that earned six Academy Award® nominations (including Best Picture) and won an Oscar® for Frank Pierson’s streetwise screenplay. Based on a true incident, Dog Day Afternoon "is one of the big ones, swarming with energy, excitement and drama" (Gene Shalit, NBC-TV).

Quotes

Deliverance Mountain Man: I'm gonna make you squeal like a pig. Weeeeeeee! Ed: Look, what is it that you require of us? Mountain Man: What we, uh, "re-quire" is that you get your god-damn asses up in them woods. Get Carter (1971) Jack Carter: You know, I'd almost forgotten what your eyes looked like. Still the same. Pissholes in the snow. Dog Day Afternoon Leon: I couldn't explain why I did the things I did. So I went to this psychiatrist who explained to me I was a woman in a man's body. So Sonny right away wanted to get me money for a sex change operation: but where was he to get that? 2500 dollars! My God, he's in hock up to his ears already. Sonny: Bank robbing is a federal offense. You got me on kidnapping, armed robbery. You're gonna bury me, man!
