Best movie moments

Here in the States this type of film was all the rage in the 80s. This one would have been for the most part forgotten if not for the ending. That last minute or so elevated it in to a minor classic. Rare that. Of course you have to see the entire film to understand.

Nice movie. This scene shows how to solve the eternal father-son-conflict the classical way.

Admittedly, Fred Williamson cannot be denied in any role, but I prefer my blaxploitation a little more on the urban side. But that's just me, yo.

I've noticed this trend in recent years to try to capture that "grindhouse" feel of film in years far gone. Won't happen though I like the effort. This being true grindhouse fare as the template:

Acting today is lacking when compared to this.

Ah, it's Halloween. This one creeped my ten year old self out and still gives me goose flesh.

"No live organism can continue for long to exist sanely under conditions of absolute reality; even larks and katydids are supposed, by some, to dream. Hill House, not sane, stood by itself against its hills, holding darkness within; it had stood for eighty years and might stand for eighty more."

Has anybody seen the TV series, "Boardwalk Empire", with Steve Buscemi? Is it a good series worth watching?

Bukfan, I've only watched the first season of 'Boardwalk Empire' so far, but I really liked it.
