A great movie, watch it whenever I can. Very gritty, great acting, and great dialogue. Never had any desire to watch the Stallone remake. | |||

^^^^^ Yes, excellent film. I'd rather watch this than anything made in the last 25 years. "I’m not going to read Time Magazine, I’m not going to read Newsweek, I’m not going to read any of these magazines; I mean, because they have too much to lose by printing the truth"- Bob Dylan, 1965 | |||

And one of the few movies that has the Sig P210 playing a role. End of Earth: 2 Miles Upper Peninsula: 4 Miles | |||

Neither of those vids mentioned that "Get Carter" is on TCM Saturday night at, I think, 8PM Eastern. Don't know which version it is, but I'm recording it, as Michael Caine's movies are among my favorites. -------------------------- Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats. -- H L Mencken I always prefer reality when I can figure out what it is. -- JALLEN 10/18/18 | |||

Michael Caine is a superb actor who has done a lot of crap but in a good film he is tops. Calmer than you are | |||

The unrestored version of Get Carter was just on TCM this evening. | |||

In the "Afterwords" Mankiewicz said Carter's death was demanded as payment for his crimes, but in my mind the movie didn't justify it. Unlike "Casablanca" where censors, demanding that Rick tell Ilsa to stay with her husband as the correct moral decision, helped make it the great movie it is. -------------------------- Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats. -- H L Mencken I always prefer reality when I can figure out what it is. -- JALLEN 10/18/18 | |||

“You're a big man, but you're in bad shape. With me it's a full time job. Now behave yourself.” Happy to say I have the 4k disc of this movie. Great soundtrack as well. Roy Budd. (Although the extra footage of Budd playing piano and synth to the footage is slightly out of sync.) ___________________ Company, villainous company hath been the spoil of me. | |||

I have always thought that the gritty depiction of Newcastle was one of the best aspects of the film. End of Earth: 2 Miles Upper Peninsula: 4 Miles | |||
