"Blow-out" is very good and often underrated.

In Reply to: DePalma's "Blow-out" is its equal. Exciting, fast-paced, and clever. Travolta is fantastic. nt posted by tinear on June 22, 2009 at 19:37:14:

However.

I wouldn't go so far as to say it's the "equal" of The Conversation. It's well worth seeing, and surely one of Depalma's best, but it's not at possess the quality or sophistication of The Conversation, or even its inspiration, Antonioni's Blow Up. Blow Up remains indelibly a movie of its time but it still packs plenty of power with unforgettable images and a wonderful use of ambient sound - the park becomes one of the characters in the film. Blow Out is louder, brassier, more "pop", but imminently watchable.

You could have a super mid-century paranoia triple bill with The Conversation, Blow-Up and Blow Out.
