" How do you get the biggest city in the U.S. to pay you a million dollars? Easy. Highjack a subway, make the passengers your hostages & the proceed to murder one for every minute until the Big Apple coughs up the dough. And I'm sure I'm not spoiling it for anyone one there reading this by pointing out that, if you look at the success ratios for these types of get-rich-quick schemes have had over the years, you can pretty much put one and two together to figure how this is one is gotta play out."

Top 10 Favourites of the 1970s (10 movies items)

" "You a policeman? Well done. The mayor will go to your funeral." - Mr. Blue One of the absolute coolest, grittiest films of the '70s. Its humour, cold-blooded calmly ruthless mastermind villain, and gang with colour-coded nicknames were all influential towards Quentin Tarantino. This is a daring train heist picture with killer theme music that I'll never forget. It ends with one of the most perfect shots in movie history...a hilarious and impeccably timed silent punchline."

"22.11.12. PC Katsoja pyyhkii hikeä otsaltaan kun Robert Shaw'n johtamat rosmot kaappaavat metrovaunun ja uhkaavat tappaa matkustajan joka minuutti, jos heille ei makseta tunnin kuluessa miljoonaa dollaria.

I Recommend...(The Short List) (80 movies items)

" Thriller. Stars Walter Matthau. Co-stars Jerry Stiller. Such a great, low-key movie. A group of men take a subway car hostage and Walter Matthau works to get them free. No big action moments, but entertaining all the way through. Has one of my favorite endings."
