    I'll need to see "Night Moves".

    It's been a while since I've seen "Scarecrow" (1973) with Hackman and Pacino - it made me forget his Popeye Doyle (The French Connection, 1971).

    His strip-tease to quench bar tensions in "Scarecrow" and his subtle character transformations in reciprocating careing for Pacino were beautiful to behold.

    Then there's "No Way Out"...

    What a body of work for lifetime achievement.

    I saw it years ago, probably when it came out, and didn't like it. I
    thought the script was weak, the directing weak, and Eastwood had not
    yet learned to act. Maybe I should watch it again.

      I'm kind of with you on this one - my first impression was so-so but for the "ching cling cling" sound of Eastwood's spurs.
      
      For me, later viewings dug deeper past stereotypes and a wry humor came through.

    Yeah, Night Moves was an ace, and well directed by Arthur Penn. 3 killer performances by the women; Jennifer Warren, Susan Clark and Melanie Griffith (as the bad girl/ingenue). My other favorite early Hackman performance was from "I never sang for my Father."

  • No, but a quick search just showed "Night Moves" as a film - musetap 14:03:28 02/07/10 (0)

    he seems to be reckoned with in, and I've added that to the queue.
    
    I haven't seen "Dangerous Moves" either, but that French film has some good things said about it.
