VANISHING POINT
Richard C. Sarafian1971United States163 points, 5 votes)
Vanishing Point set the standard for anti-establishment chase movies. In my opinion, Kowalski is one of the great anti-heroes in American cinema. The blind soul funk brother DJ, the open road in the American West, the Dodge Challenger into the bulldozers. Badass.
― bryan
In contrast, Vanishing Point is a grindhouse exploitation film that thinks it's Camus on LSD, and the gap between its intent and actuality is massive. I don't mind grindhouse exploitation, but Vanishing Point is pretentious in the worst way possible - stupid convinced that it's smart.

Vanishing point was my number one pick! I remember talking with a friend about two different movies that had all these different moments that made no sense being in the same film, and then we realized we were both talking about Vanishing Point, and none of the other party goers believed that such a movie existed.

DIRTY HARRY
Don Siegel1971United States(165 points, 7 votes)
I have decided I need to see about adopting Inspector Callahan's no-cursing policy of dry sarcasm and cruel disregard for vanity as opposed to my usual sailorstyle shit fuck piss ass bitch banter (starting with muttering "swell" and "marvelous" when receiving, uh, new information).
― El Tomboto
Robinson couldn't fire a gun without screwing his eyes shut and flinching, so they had to stop filming and send him off to a shooting range for a couple of days. Even after that you can still see him blinking whenever he fires. His performance is excellent though, just the simple bit where he's walking across the rooftop tearing up the piece of newspaper does so much to establish that the character is evil.
― snoball
the first "dirty harry" at least is fantastic. i love that shot where the camera just flies back when harry finally confronts scorpio on the football field.

THE HURT LOCKER
Kathryn Bigelow2009United States(167 points, 8 votes)
There were a bunch of times that Bigelow's choices in Hurt Locker had me muttering to myself "100% pure adrenaline" or other quotes from Point Break. Especially the drinking scenes. She loves to shoot scenes of dudes hangin' out.
― Your heartbeat soun like sasquatch feet (polyphonic)

I do wonder if Jeremy Renner's character ended up leaving his family again because the way his wife cleaned mushrooms was beyond the pale. Who soaks them in a tub of water?
