You guys picked great fucking films. Good job. I thoroughly approve of the addition of "The Conversation" - a haunting film. Same deal with "The Tenant" - love Polanski's stuff. Motor, 70s New York films are great, and I noticed you must be a Norman Wexler fan - have you heard some of the stories about him? He was absolutely insane and used to go to the seediest parts of NYC with tape recorders and get himself in near-death situations with very bad dudes just to record the whole thing and use it to create pitch-perfect dialogue for his New York streets-laden films. Interesting shit. You can get some good stories of him in Bob Zmuda's book on Andy Kaufman. One of Zmuda's first jobs was as Wexler's assistant and he talks about some crazy shit, like Wexler attempting to drop trou and take a dump right in a NY airport lobby. Zmuda was so scared of Wexler (who is now dead) that he referred to him as "Mr. X" throughout the stories in the book.

It's a personal favorite... I love that ending...

My fave biker flick is The Wild One.

What club was that?, if you don't mind me asking. A friend of mine tells me he was an extra in the club scenes. When I say it's more imagination than anything else, I'm taking his word for it. I got there just a bit later and certainly don't remember anything as extreme in that way as that around.

taxi driver, all that jazz, saturday night fever, the shining,carrie,rosemary's baby, the omen, shit i can't think right now. get back to you later.

since my exhusband really loved "the wicker man," i thought i ought to mention "head" by bob raefelson & the monkees. although i think that was a 60s film. i think my father worked on it. he also worked on what we can call the ralph bakshi ouvre, "fritz the cat," "heavy traffic/metal" etc & ect. i cannot say they are amongst my favorite movies, but i do indeed remember them.

as much as i love my father (this could be counted in grains of sand, meaning a single grain), i should note that he also wrote the original "screenplay" for something that must be mentioned here somewhere: "the longest yard." he also wrote the orig "sp" for "i was a teenage werewolf," although i think at that point the "i" was a teenage alligator. he also wrote "matilda." you will have to look in the only good book i can think of by a medved for that one.

i dont know which he got screen credit for. he worked on Every 70s TV Show That Has Been Made Into A Movie For Absolutely No Reason, as well as gilligan's island (worthy) &, gosh, i was 2 years old, i dont remember. he worked on "the monkees." by the time i was 5 my personally signed by all monkees album had been stolen. not proper to steal from a 5 year old, i dont think. but proper, perhaps in a home that has not only an orange piano but has been visited by many a manson associate.

but i digress. i always do.

there is a large squirrel outside my window. i think my strep throat hath left the building.
