The Odd Angry Shot - Australian war film about an Australian SAS unit in Vietnam.
The Kremlin Letter - Just watched this - very dark espionage thriller by John Huston with Max Von Sydow and Orson Welles. An off-line private espionage unit contracts to retrieve an explosive diplomatic message in Moscow. They use every human weakness and extortion imaginable. Made when the James Bond movies presented a very romantic view of espionage work, this is a lot more realistic view. Richard Boone's folksy sociopath is an amazing performance.
The Wind and the Lion - John Milius fictionalized some real events with Brian Keith as Teddy Roosevelt and Sean Connery as a Berber chieftan. Amazing action scenes and clever dialogue.
Privilege - A near-future British government uses a pop star to control the young. Directed by Peter Watkins in his usual pseudo-documentary style. Great score.
Without a Trace - Not the TV series, the 1983 film with Judd Hirsch and Kate Nelligan. The little boy of Nelligan's single mom walks off to school one day in New York and vanishes. I have to confess, I weep like an old woman at the end every time I see this movie.
The Final Programme (also released in the U.S. as The Last Days of Man on Earth). Robert Fuest, who directed many of the Avengers episodes and the Dr. Phibes movies adapted Michael Moorcock's first Jerry Cornelius novel. Moorcock hates it but it's a real guilty pleasure for me. Great cast, very stylishly directed.
