As for The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, it is a visceral viewing, no doubt. The real trick it manages to pull is that you don't actually see nearly as much as you think you do. Yes, I'm trying to convince you to see it.

I've turned down multiple chances to see Texas Chainsaw Massacre in fact, it's just not my thing. I might have to check out Mother's Day though.<br /><br />I reached further back and I know you'll be delighted with my second pick at least.<br /><br />Bonnie & Clyde (1967)-Seminal, trend-setting drama of the criminal pair who terrorized the heartland during the depression with Clyde’s brother and his wife. Stylish and ultra-violent this made Warren Beatty a major player in Hollywood, a star of Faye Dunaway, moved Gene Hackman considerably up the ladder as Buck Barrow and won Estelle Parsons a Best Supporting Actress Oscar as Buck’s screeching wife Blanche.<br /><br />White Heat (1949)-James Cagney stars as Cody Jarrett a psychotic gangster with a mother fixation in one of the best crime noirs of the 40’s. An utterly ruthless man who thinks nothing of gunning down an unarmed man he is prone to violent headaches, an incipient signal of total madness, that can only be soothed by sitting on Ma Jarrett’s (a chilling Margaret Wycherly) knee as she strokes his head. Sent to prison after being caught during their last job Cody is a targeted man both by the undercover agent (Edmund O’Brien) who has been planted to befriend him and one of his henchmen (Steven Cochran) and Cody’s grasping wife Verna (Virginia Mayo) who want to take over the gang. Breaking out he sets out to reassert his dominance during the robbery of a chemical plant payroll but things spiral out of control leading to a fiery climax. Classic Cagney.<br /><br />Ma Barker’s Killer Brood (1960)-Exploitation version of the Barker clan headed by the ruthlessly murderous Ma (Lurene Tuttle). Revisionist in the extreme showing the gang working with John Dillinger, Pretty Boy Floyd and Baby Face Nelson though there’s no proof that they knew any of them in reality. Still it’s a trim little crime caper with Lurene Tuttle, who usually played sweet best friends and sensible mothers, having a grand old time tearing into the merciless and deranged mastermind. She rules her boys with an iron fist mocking any sign of weakness and not sparing the corporeal punishment to all if she thinks it necessary.joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-82954226655696729732017-08-03T08:28:48.806-04:002017-08-03T08:28:48.806-04:00I haven't seen any of these but the intro is a...I haven't seen any of these but the intro is amazing!

Rebecca de Mornay giving one of the greatest performances of her career. <i>Cold Fish</i> is something I haven't seen but now I want to. I went for a somewhat more traditional approach to the genre but not going for the obvious. thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.com
