Extremely underrated Spielberg thriller!

This is a Steven Spielberg film that truly is underrated. It is very tense with a lot of Hitchcock-like suspense. This suspense of Duel leads to the suspense in Jaws. This film wasn't on for very long at all but the thrills and action never seemed to stop. It was a film that wasn't a well-known film from Steven Spielberg especially when Jaws and Close Encounters Of The Third Kind were released bec... read more

15 From 71: My Favorite Movies Of 1971 (15 movies items)

"While I usually try to keep only films that were released in movie theaters on these lists 'o' mine, every once in a while I come across a piece of TV cinema that's so good, that for me, it's quality ranks up there with the best of theatrical releases. Duel is a good example of this type of smallscreen cinematic excellence. Not surprising, considering that it is Steven Spielberg's major film debut (well, at least from my memory it is). And with just the use a big ol' rusted semi-truck, a lone"

A Complete review of Steven Spielberg's work (28 movies items)

" What was it about? A business commuter is pursued and terrorized by a malevolent driver of a massive tractor-trailer. My two cents: What was supposed to be a rather small TV feature became a surprising success, one of the most heralded directing debuts and the start one of the most impressive career in motion picture history. Honestly, the plot was rather thin and you can't say that the characters were very well developped but the directing was just really impressive, especially wh"

November Movie Journal - Xanadon't (27 movies items)

" A wholly engaging and impressive debut from some guy name Steven Spielberg. With the exception of Munich I actually liked this better than anything he's done in the last 20 years.
