Criminally underrated, mostly due to releasing the same weekend as Star Wars. Anyone else a fan of this movie?

    Haven’t seen it yet, BUT… “Les Salaries De La Peur (The Wages Of Fear)” is one of my absolute favorite films.
    French cinema was KILLING it in the 1950s and 60s, one inspired banger after another, and another.

    I’ve been trying to watch Sorcerer, but I can’t find it in any country of the streaming services I use.

    Thanks for turning me on to this. Cruising and Bug are two big favorites of mine. Also, Friedkin doing The Boys in the Band, The Exorcist, and The French Connection in three years in kind of insane

    I saw this on the big screen at an Alamo a few months ago and it’s definitely tense and suspenseful once they get the trucks --that bridge crossing scene is so intense!

    I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. Gotta get around to watching the original

      Don’t miss out on the original. This is one rare case where both the original and the remake are amazing and different enough. The original one has one of my favorite scenes ever.
