Very good and grim western. Eastwood in top form and there´s lots of fun characters here. I second Marc Eliot´s (Eastwood book author) thoughts that Clint is indeed the dead sheriff´s ghost which comes and takes his revenge.

Earlier today in another thread we were talking about The Beguiled (1971), which i haven't seen in a very long time. So i did a quick search to see if it was still available. Turns out a couple of months ago a 8 disc blu-ray box-set was released which consists of Coogan's Bluff, Two Mules For Sister Sara, The Beguiled, Play Misty For Me, Joe Kidd, High Plains Drifter, Breezy, and The Eiger Sanction.
So far i only have Coogan's Bluff (on dvd) and High Plains Drifter (on blu-ray).. so i wonder how long i can resist buying this.. especially because it's currently in stock at Holland's most famous on-line store.
Now this is tempting... Posts: 2176 | From: The Netherlands | Registered: Jun 2011 | Site Updates: 0

Go for it. I finally saw the Clint Eastwood directed Breezy a few months ago. It is excellent.

I never saw any of those except Play Misty for Me (which I love). I love Clint Eastwood ( I have all the Dirty Harry movies on Blu Ray).

All very good/excellent films. The Beguiled includes many surprising elements considering it was a major studio feature.

The Way We Were, starring Robert Redford and Barbra Streisand. For me it was just "meh". She was loud and obnoxious, which I know, that is supposed to be her character. But I thought her acting wasn't that great, like she was overacting directly to the camera.

Watched Breezy (1973) which was a pretty good film written by Jo Heims (Play Misty for Me) and directed by Clint Eastwood. William Holden is Frank Harmon, a fifty-something real-estate broker who falls in love with a teen hippie girl Breezy (Kay Lenz in her breakthrough role). It was a box-office flop back in the day, but Eastwood has said that it´s one of his favourite works. Lenz is fresh and energetic and you can see her nude many times She has a nice body so why hide it? There´s nothing too explicit on offer though. Holden does a good job as a divorced man who has to wrestle with outside pressure and his inner voice. All in all, it´s a nice little 70s romantic drama.

I'm glad that you like Breezy too. It really shows what range Eastwood has as a director. This is the kind of film that is so absolutely unlike him; it's so quiet and low-keyed. Holden and Lenz are both excellent. And Lenz really is adorable. It would be hard for any guy 18-58 not to fall for her. Posts: 2008 | From: Dixieland | Registered: Oct 2008 | Site Updates: 0

well.. not Kay herself unfortunately, but that Clint Eastwood 8 disc blu-ray set i mean. Still good enough to make me happy though !
Speaking of Kay Lenz.. did you guys know she did an audio commentary for the Stripped To Kill dvd that came out last december ? I haven't listened to it yet, but i think she's a sport for having done a commentary on that one. Way to go, Kay ! Posts: 2176 | From: The Netherlands | Registered: Jun 2011 | Site Updates: 0

always liked Kay lenz,i've mostly seen her through her 80s pics such as the horror comedy house,stripped to kill and who can forget the scene at the end of death wish 4 when she comes a cropper at the hands of john p ryan.
john p Ryan then get's the old charlie Bronson treatment and is blown to kingdom come.
There has always been a couple of her movies I've been wanting to watch for an age now and they are fast walking from 1982 in which she stars with James woods and mean dog blues in which she appears along side a really solid cast including George Kennedy,scatman brothers and Gregg henry.
A very pretty and talented actress,you can see why rod Stewart was infatuated by her.

I've not seen that much of his stuff outside of Jurassic Park, so I'm not really able to judge. I really ought to watch some more of his movies, because there's a strong link between WestWorld and Jurassic Park - I wonder if this has been a theme running through many of his other movies...

The Stranglers Of Bombay (1959) This was pretty good. I loved the snake and mongoose scene Posts: 4057 | From: uk | Registered: May 2007 | Site Updates: 0

you should check out both looker and runaway paul when you get chance,especially runaway,it's a total blast what with killer robot spiders, heat seeking bullets and gene simmons from kiss as the menacing villain.
you can definitely see the connection between jurassic and westworld and the same i would say could be said for runaway and westworld what with malfunctioning robots,etc.- artificial intelligence turning on mankind.
i reckon it would be a good one actually paul to review on your site.
i personally think it's a really fun movie,i last watched it about 2 years back and i reckon it holds up pretty well,some people say it looks pretty dated but i don't think so myself.
the only thing i think doesn't hold up so well is the heat seeking bullet effects - http://youtu.be/heMboVN12r0 - they look pretty comical.
ps i agree about rick moranis in your streets of fire review that other than streets of fire and the odd other film he can sometimes be slightly annoying.

helen have you ever watched - any which way you can with clint eastwood,that's got a rattle snake vs mongoose battle
i remember years back when i viewed it as a youngster that scene always stuck in my head,it happens near the beginning of the movie when all these mafioso types are stood around this pen and they chuck a mongoose in and then lift up this box or what ever it was and there's this rattle snake underneath.
the mongoose and the rattle snake then battle it out and mongoose gets fatally bit.
i noticed in all later versions of this movie this scene was missing,anyhow not long back i ordered the twin pack blu ray from the states and it has the whole scene in its entirety.
got to admit when i watched it lately this scene seemed quite out of tone with the rest of the movie considering it was meant to be a family comedy.
