For anyone born in the 50s, 60s, or 70s it is a defining statement of counter-culture rebellion, and quite clearly one of the best - if not the best - prison movies ever made.<br /><br />Anyone much under 35 tends to nominate Shawshank Redemption for that accolade - which makes me want to go out and commit acts of random violence.<br /><br />Funnily enough, my end-of-the-month movie post over on my other blog (already planned some days ago) is on 'Favourite Prison Movies'.Frooghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06738623732860210935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33211583.post-35150649409280657572012-01-26T22:43:04.480+00:002012-01-26T22:43:04.480+00:00Flick thru your site and came to the Cool Hand Luk...Flick thru your site and came to the Cool Hand Luke entry. Tremendous. What a film. Saw it on the day it was released and usually check it out every ten years. Chock full of allegory and also captured the spirit of the times. Quotable dialogue to die for. Many excellent reviews to be found on the net. Try these great historical photos, which I enjoyed distributing to friends a few years ago.<br /><br />http://lens.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/05/27/showcase-a-wide-view-of-a-hellish-world/<br /><br />The late sixties and seventies were truly a period of greatness in American cinema.<br /><br />Taking it off, boss.<br />Take it off, Dragline.KingTubbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14414648192564955665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33211583.post-68607404901989652982007-11-07T15:26:00.000+00:002007-11-07T15:26:00.000+00:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33211583.post-82278528491367308892007-05-16T12:57:00.000+00:002007-05-16T12:57:00.000+00:00succint is good for haikus.succint is good for haikus.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33211583.post-73529653530283801942007-05-16T06:22:00.000+00:002007-05-16T06:22:00.000+00:00Succinct is good.
