"You don't have to be Dillinger for this one."

Under the direction of Sam Peckinpah (who's also responsible for the amazing Western The Wild Bunch), The Getaway is both an excellent anti-hero action movie and a solid character study. This 1972 film is often considered one of Peckinpah's most commercial projects, but it nevertheless bears the director's distinctive stamp: a terrific ... read more

"The king of sixties cool teams up with the queen of 70's sappy corn (that one chick from Love Story) in a on-the lam action crime film, the Getaway. In it, they play characters who are trying to...well, y'know....get away. Particularly from that one guy who go shot in the head in The Godfather. After starring in one of the classic car chase films of all time, Bullitt, Steve McQueen finds himself behind the wheel of another fast & furious flick. Oh okay, maybe it's not as fast or as furious a"

"October 9 I decided to take a break from horror just to make up for that average Steve McQueen movie. I enjoyed this much more than The Blob and I don't know why they remade it. Especially with an actor I don't care for."
