The whole movie, great! With OJ Simpson. And later chase scene with Telly Savalas, reminds me of another character he played in the Dirty Dozen.

Love this scene from Exodus where Paul Newman is impersonating a British officer and encounters a real British officer who is antisemitic:

For those who never heard of it:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Americathon





This was made in the Carter years when American malaise was at its height. There were concerns about the deficit and debt, and they certainly pale in significance today. However, we were not involved in any protracted wars and certainly not divided as we are today.

They also play into the fears that the USA was running out of oil, something I was even incessantly reminded in my school readers. But Ronald Reagan asserted on the campaign trail, Alaska has more oil than Saudi Arabia.

The US was still the world's largest creditor though, until it changed during the Reagan years and we became the world's largest debtor.

When I was in Afghanistan, people would say the USA is so rich, but I would say who is richer, someone with unpayable debt or someone who has no money?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Day_After

In 1987, Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev signed the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, which resulted in the banning and reducing of their nuclear arsenal. In Reagan's memoirs, he drew a direct line from the film to the signing.[26] Reagan supposedly later sent Meyer a telegram after the summit, saying: "Don't think your movie didn't have any part of this, because it did."



I never watched it back then in 1983. I assumed it was one of those movies directed against Reagan and his military buildup. But today, it might have more relevance.

Although a nuclear would be disastrous in 1983, we could dig out with difficulty. Today, it would unleash hell and the effects would be much worse. We pretty much grew our own food and could sustain ourselves back then, and there were many people with an understanding on how things worked and could repair things. Nowadays, most everything is built overseas and we've lost a basic understanding on how the infrastructure was built from the ground up and would be severely challenged to reassemble it.

Rollerball (1975)



Big business (that's all there is left anymore) wants to get rid of its most popular player, so they change the rules to allow death, to get rid of him.

You mean Patton, right? MacArthur was by Gregory Peck... I'm not counting Emperor because TLJ basically showed up, dressed up in uniform for a day and did his usual TLJ while Peck did his own research into the man and actually made the writers rewrite the movie based on his own findings.
