I'd...Well that's quite the collection Dell. I'd agree Death Race 2000 is crap but seeing it as I did after Stallone had hit big in Rocky it was fun to see him pre-fame...that is in something beside's A Party at Kitty and Studs!<br /><br />The Car!! What a blast from the past when Mr. Streisand was trying to make it as a feature star. <br /><br />Haven't seen the Death Race sequel.<br /><br />There are a lot of racing flicks out there and yet at first all I could think of was Gone in Sixty Seconds which didn't really fit and was a terrible movie to boot but then I dug back and came up with the requisite three and then just this past weekend I caught my bonus which is so of its time and place I just had to use it.<br /><br />Winning (1969)-Frank Capua’s (Paul Newman) dream is to win the Indy 500 and he is spurred on by his messy private life including a troubled marriage to Elora (Joanne Woodward) who is also involved with his main rival Luther Erding (Robert Wagner). The film inspired Newman’s lifelong love of racing and has some exciting scenes of the sport. While it doesn’t deliver on its ambitious tagline “WINNING is for men who live dangerously! WINNING is for women who love recklessly! WINNING is for young people who live for now! WINNING...is for everybody!” it’s a decent film with many of the stars of the racing circuit making appearances.<br /><br />The Great Race (1965)-At the beginning of the 1900’s The Great Leslie (an all in white clad Tony Curtis) and his arch nemesis Professor Fate (Jack Lemmon equally black covered with a handlebar moustache and top hat to boot) compete in the title race from New York to Paris with henchmen in tow, Hezekiah (Keenan Wynn) for Curtis and Max (a hilarious Peter Falk) for Lemmon. Also competing and covering the race for The Sentinel newspaper is pioneering and rambunctious reporter Maggie DuBois (Natalie Wood at her most beautiful). MANY complications occur along the way including a western town brawl and shootout and an enormous pie fight. Blake Edwards directed tribute to slapstick and old time serials is zany fun with beautiful costume & set design, a game cast and for car lovers fantastic automobiles. The score was provided by Henry Mancini and includes the Oscar nominated “The Sweetheart Tree”.<br /><br />The Big Wheel (1949)-Watch out Mickey Rooney’s on the skids in more ways than one! Billy Coy (Rooney) has something to prove, his father was a legend in the midget race car game until his death in a crackup, now Billy is trying to show his worth. The story is standard cocky hothead knocked down a few pegs until his learns the necessary life lessons junk but if you're a race fan and don't mind the obvious rear projection shots it has a certain entertainment value. Additionally parts were filmed at the Indy 500 raceway providing a glimpse of it in its infancy. Aside from Rooney there’s a good cast including Spring Byington, Thomas Mitchell and in a small part Hattie McDaniel in her last theatrical feature. This was made just as the Mick’s major star period was ending. <br /><br />80’s Flashback Bonus-Catch Me If You Can (1989)-When her small Midwest high school faces closure class president Melissa Hanson (Loryn Locklin) is persuaded by school bad boy Dylan Malone (Matt Lattanzi) to gamble on the illegal car races he runs. Everything goes well at first but then the local mob moves in so Melissa and Dylan take drastic measures to save ol’ Cathedral High! Full of 80’s music (the film’s score is composed and performed by Tangerine Dream) 80’s fashion and of course 80’s hair complete with headbands! joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-73597112419514525312017-04-06T12:06:54.404-04:002017-04-06T12:06:54.404-04:00I liked Death Race remake...but that's probabl...I liked Death Race remake...but that's probably most definitely just because of Jason :)s.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13987831438787776712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-84425778312414503942017-04-06T09:12:09.214-04:002017-04-06T09:12:09.214-04:00Oh all of these sound amazingly crap-tastic, and I...Oh all of these sound amazingly crap-tastic, and I thank you for bringing them (except the original Death Race, which I have heard of and want to see) to my attention!Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11480863610135936930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-31349981072794773212017-04-06T09:04:22.824-04:002017-04-06T09:04:22.824-04:00I've heard of Death Race but I've never se...I've heard of Death Race but I've never seen it.
