Charley Varrick starring Walter Matthau and a bunch of other good character actors. What a great film!
Twelve Angry Men (it shocks me too that I'd never gotten around to watching it before!)
Yes, when he actually gets to act, Stallone can be a master (there's a couple of his roles I can imagine a middle-aged Brando in). Such a shame that for the most part he gets stuck with "Stallone the two-dimensional A-list persona" roles. I'm sure he's crying all the way to the bank.
I agree with both of you.I agree with you. It really is a great film. I saw it about a year ago. I got it from Netflix. It's unfortunate that it's such a hidden gem.

Unfortunate that it's seemingly only available on DVD in pan-and-scan, not letterbox. Every time I start to feel a bit shameful about watching movies for 'free' I think about how bad a job Hollywood has done of making older movies readily available in watchable formats and then I think "screw you guys".EmergencyIan said:I agree with you.

"Dawn Patrol" - 1938 - Flynn and Niven in a fine remake. But Donald Crisp and Basil Rathbone almost steal the show...
Worf
Saw it and thought - another example of that incredibly well done British black and white cinematography that seems to be high-def B&W. And yes, all four do an outstanding job. I always think Flynn doesn't get the credit he deserves as an actor because he is so well known for Robin Hood (which, while fun, is a bit cartoonish), but he did many great movies and showed great range away from his action adventure stuff.
