I was about 12 years old when Sorcerer premiered in NYC and I was in Times Square and wanted to go to Star Wars, but it had a line about 2 blocks long, so I gave up and wandered across the street and saw the marquee for Sorcerer. I saw the great movie poster with the truck, and said I got to see this. And I knew about Friedkin and Scheider. So I walked right in to the empty theater. No line at all and about 18 people in the theater. It blew my socks off. I'd never seen anything like it on the big screen. And the music was hypnotic. I went and bought the s/t on lp and the movie poster for it at a Greenwich Village movie poster store. Still have both to this day and now the dvd. Now I watch it about once a year. Epic film. Hard to believe how bad it got attacked by the critics back then. I was like Did they see the same movie I saw? Never understood it. Great to see it get some love and that Friedkin got to enjoy it along with anyone else still alive who worked on it. Great show, guys.

This is such a great episode. RIP Friedkin so happy so many film festivals started to show it the past few years and Friedkin was there to see it and talk about it,

@johnm.withersiv4352 11 месяцев назад

A Friedkin week makes sense at this point in 2023.

@ThaMizphit74 11 месяцев назад

Sorcerer was a dark ass PG-rated movie. They just hit different in the 70's.

@peterengelen2794 11 месяцев назад

It sttill amazes me that y'all get so much fun background info and personal opinions in just 1 Fucking Hour, especially this episode, about one the most beautiful and incredible movies ever made! R.I.P. William Friedkin (one of my top five directors of all time). Btw, I hope y'all gonna do another 1977 movie one day, Donald Cammell's ''Demon Seed'', but also his ''Performance'' (with Nicholas Roeg) & ''White of the Eye''.

A great film. I saw it for the first time about 10years ago at NY's Film Forum. A remastered print w Friedkin live Skyping at our viewing. Charming man. who welcomed us to ask him questions. One of the most incredible shots is that explosion in Jeruselem. WOW. I got to ask him if he was going to release a remastered version of To Live and Die in La and the whole theater erupted in cheers and applause. SUCH a terrific no-nonsense director. We wont see his like again.

Hey guys, I'm a new viewer here. Very glad I stumbled across this podcast! Sorcerer is the film back in 2020 that got me back into watching classic 60s/70s cinema. It's an all time favorite now. I love the choices you guys are picking such as Targets, Wake In Fright, Don't Look Now, Talk Radio...films that people rarely talk about except right here. I've only watched/listened to a few episodes. But I got to catch up on more. Great discussions! The '78 Body Snatchers I'd love to hear your thoughts on.

@ChrisRubeo Месяц назад

Great stuff. RIP, Billy.

@clintonorman2859 11 месяцев назад

Yeah Michael Mann took that headlights shot and made a whole OEUVRE out of it!!!

@peterengelen2794 11 месяцев назад

'It's gotta be either 'Blue Collar'' or ''Invasion of the Body Snatchers'' (Errol Morris ''Gates of Heaven'', never seen it, and actually never heard 'bout ''Girlfriends''), both of my all time favorite movies....

@zombweed4821 11 месяцев назад

I’m right there with ya. Hoping for Blue Collar but wouldn’t be mad if Body Snatchers takes it.

@MC_1993 11 месяцев назад

Had no idea he died… and was just watching a bunch of his interviews by chance. The newer movie he made with mcconaghey was amazing (Texas Joe?) I forget the name- but it’s an amazing movie as well. Legendary director . Really smart guy too .. love how he put so much effort into the audio of his films. RIP

@clintonorman2859 11 месяцев назад

Killer Joe.

@ricardocantoral7672 6 месяцев назад

Killer Joe.

@clintonorman2859 11 месяцев назад

Fuck I screwed up, I voted for Gates of Heaven thinking about Heaven's Gate!!! ARGH!! What a rookie mistake! Blue Collar! Blue Collar!

@stevekasan1575 11 месяцев назад

Great discussion on a film i find is not talked about enough when it comes to Friedkin as it is always French & Exorcist. Count me in as one of those who was disappointment to learn that this movie was about truck when i was a kid. To learn the title is taken from a Miles Davis song, magnificent as much as this film revisiting later on. What an awesome movie

@clintonorman2859 11 месяцев назад

I was thinking that the tree-demolition scene would be a great choice to show in a filmmaking class. Maybe editing, but all aspects of filmmaking are perfect.

@OneFuckingHour 11 месяцев назад

💯

@Graham-sl5tx 3 месяца назад

It helps to be a Tangerine Dream fan. The music accompanies the film wonderfully.

@amazingblur3543 2 месяца назад

I've always been curious about Sorcerer but have avoided watching it cause I had already seen Wages of Fear and thought it was one of the best films I'd seen at the time at least, it's hard to get excited about an American remake of an already perfect film

@TottenPoncho 3 месяца назад

Sure McQueen would've made more money but in the end the fear in scheiders face and eyes suits the bleak unfolding and end of this film better. And sorcerer is a perfect name ; gunpowder reminds me of alchemy and sorcery, and beyond that; the sorcerer is mankind; pulling oil from the earth and wielding it so, crafting gunpowder and lighting the place up.

@ricomajestic 5 месяцев назад

The "face" of the truck looks like the demon Pizuzu from the Exorcist.

@traie1970 11 месяцев назад

Rewatched To Live and Die In L.A.(would love to see you do an hour on that) and French Connection this week and for the first time noticed all three films have very confusing and disorienting opening 20 - 30 minutes.

@hidikitalks 11 месяцев назад

This comment may turn silly. I'm so glad this was arbitrarily chosen. I can't think of another film that captures fire as astoundingly... I think David Lynch may get aroused by the flames in this film. I wonder though why "The Last Waltz" was not chosen for '78, bypassing the poll in honor of Robbie Robertson. I'm assuming because Martin was the director or because a concert film doesn't fit the format.

@clintonorman2859 11 месяцев назад

Nah they're squares and don't like roots music! Last Waltz is an amazing morality fable couched in a concert movie, total brain child of Scorcese w. Robertson as his "assistant." A concert movie with no shots of the audience, focuses on interactions between the musicians. Doesn't get enough love. In fact a lot of people hate The Band... specially experimental music heads.

@hidikitalks 11 месяцев назад

Oh... Everyone loves The Band. My channel has only ""Experimental"" "music" and I cant't sleep sometimes because of The Band.

@jonanjello 10 месяцев назад

I prefer Wages, but need to revisit Sorcerer. Great discussion, guy. thanks!

@dornravlin 4 месяца назад

Both are great movies in my opinion I go back on forth on what I like from both

@SaltTheFries86 6 месяцев назад

Great episode guys. I'm a guy who wrote 90 percent of Wikipedia page on the film. I have one thought I'd like to share - the truck assembly montage set to Tangerine Dream music. Don't you think it is a predecessor to Michael Mann's style? Especially something like Thief. To me, Sorcerer begat the 80s-style montage in the vein of Michael Mann. Would you agree?

@OneFuckingHour 6 месяцев назад

Totally!

@rgwebb5165 11 месяцев назад

Would love one f*cking hour on 3 Women. Alt-Mania!

@chowyunfatbr 11 месяцев назад

In your opinion, what's his most underrated movie? Cruising, Boys in the Band, and To Live and Die, don't count. I've recently watched The Brink's job and thought that it was a pretty decent low-key comedie. Blue Chips is also cool.

@OneFuckingHour 11 месяцев назад

Blue Chips is very fun, but I’d say Rampage. It has some faults but also some really interesting stuff

@musicmann1967 11 месяцев назад

For sure the title "contributed" to this movie being a flop. It felt like a bait and switch to people who weren't paying close attention. I remember assuming it was a horror movie at the time. Ironically, I didn't go see it, mainly because it was getting bad word of mouth. It seems I was one of those very people I mentioned who wasn't paying close attention!! lol I didn't get hip to this movie until much later, probably the 90's. Now I own a copy, and I love it.

@Signorellielli 8 месяцев назад

Please do an episode on The Many Saints of Newark. It was so incredibly bad and no one I know has seen it because of my warnings. But I need some closure via the trashing of that slop.

@americandespot6520 11 месяцев назад

Write a part for your girlfriend!?? Who do you think you are Charles Bronson!!!😂

@ricardocantoral7672 6 месяцев назад

Basically, this is The Treasure of The Sierra Madre of the 1970's. Sorcerer is a symphony of human misery and a hell of a thrill ride. Way better than any CGI spectacle being cranked out of Hollywooden. However, I am sorry to say, I think there is one painfully conspicuous flaw. That's the title, it's dumb as hell. Sorry, but even when it's explained, it's still dumb. Bill Friedkin should have simply called the movie The Wages of Fear because it's the heart of the material. Simple and right to the point.

@richardjarrell3585 7 месяцев назад

39:48 Max von Sydow not a star?

@dumbcat 10 месяцев назад

absorbing movie but why use such large trucks. that part did not makes a lot of sense

@joyeverlasting6124 8 месяцев назад

Quite dissapointing as the subtitles were in the language spoken not in English so it was challenging. I walked out.

@MrOctober44 10 месяцев назад

I can understand not wanting to write a part, but he couldn't just give a producer credit? So arrogant and foolishly. That one decision destroyed his career.

@MrOctober44 10 месяцев назад

I think the Star wars part really didn't matter. People can go out to more then one movie. It wasn't a commercial movie. It has almost no recognizable faces besides Roy, lots of subtitles, unlikeable characters, a horrible misleading title.

@MrCarpen7er 10 месяцев назад

First shot of the 80´s ? What a dumb comment. No, it´s a shot of cinematic brilliance that died in the early 90´s and turned into the shit we have today.

@OneFuckingHour 10 месяцев назад

Excuse me?

@BradleyPaulValentine 10 месяцев назад

Damn. How can you hate Mel Gibson??? You guys ...I don't know you at all, but just this alone makes me think you need to have your movie lover card put in a fire. I disliked What Women Want, too, but Mel was the only good thing about it. But it feels personal to you guys. Gee. Wonder why. You guys must be perfect. The guy struggles with alcoholism.

@plasticweapon 10 месяцев назад

mel gibson is a narcissistic psycho who spent most of his career making smarmy pap before graduating to directing movies nobody in their right mind would sit through, and is now starring in things nobody gives a shit about. he hasn't been cool since he was making indies back in australia. he's basically a crazy old man sitting on a street corner at this point, complete with a big beard and a crazy stare. also, you just insulted everybody who struggles with alcoholism by using it to excuse his behavior.
