How is "Point Blank" with Lee Marvin?
I am thinking of picking this up online. Didn't hate Mel Gibson's "Payback" which i know most loathed.
So will I really like this one? Thanks... |

Excellent film. Definitely pick it up. A true Classic.

This film was WAY ahead of its time. Excellent director commentary with a suitably respectful Soderbergh on this dvd,too. And no one has replaced Lee Marvin.

Get it and get the Criterion edition of The Killers and you've got the two best Lee Marvin films ever.

Lee Marvin was the man. |
While I concur that it was ahead of its time and thus holds a spot as influential in film history, I'm not as high on "Point Blank" as the rest of you. Good movie no doubt but not much more than that for me (despite the presence of Angie Dickinson). On the other hand, "The Dirty Dozen", "The Professionals", and some of the others mentioned....I love. How about getting "Emperor of the North" on DVD?

How about getting "Emperor of the North" on DVD? It's too bad there isn't some way to create some kind of thread that lists films we all want to see on DVD that could be regularly submitted to the appropriate people at the appropriate studios, so they could see how much (or how little) demand there was for those films. I'm getting really tired of waiting for some of my favorites to be released (Ace In The Hole, anyone?) |

In my top 3-5 films of all time if I was forced to make a list. A duties of a man hardboiled flick with the typically great Lee Marvin. Really fantastic use of color and then there is of course its long talked about revolutionary editing technique which sets the film apart stylistically (if the cinematography wasn't enough). Gorgeous and brutal, superb film.
