You find a cremation scene disturbing yet you still watch it?? Oh my gosh, you remind me of me! I must watch this movie!!!

If only it was just a cremation. It was a cremation with elements of suicide, murder and horror all at once.

I'm going to watch it again after several decades!

Our second choice of movie today is inspired by yesterday's choice (yesterday we had the Ferrari Mondial Cabriolet from Scent of a Woman).

The 1980s was all about Ferrari vs Lamborghini and more specifically, the Ferrari Testarossa from Miami Vice vs this car.

Welcome to the Lamborghini Countach.

I've just remembered!

Ishilove, I was going to recommend 3 (well, actually 4) classic movies to you yesterday night/this morning. I wrote about the first 1 and then I got distracted and I haven't yet written the other 2. Here's the first 1.



1) Canonball Run (1 & 2) : These are feel good movies. Do you want to laugh your head off while watching every great movie star that existed acting in the same movie? (I watched these two movies in the early 1980s, so they were the great movie stars that existed at that time). Well this is the movie for you.

It's basically about a group of people that were involved in an illegal car race across the United States. The race is illegal, so they have to devise means to win the race without getting arrested for speeding. Furthermore, there are some people that were determined to do everything they could to stop the race. Like I said, the racers were all legends in real life, so the writers incorporated a bit of their persona from previous movies to give them special abilities with which they evaded the police and the people that wanted to stop the race.


Roger Moore acted in this movie and there are similarities between his character and James Bond, Jackie Chan is playing a Japanese guy in this movie, so his car has all kinds of Japanese gadgets and of course he also has some fight scenes in the movies and Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr are of course involved in trickery and they were quite often drunk. Burt Reynolds was involved in several funny scenes that reminded me of Smoky & The Bandit and Farah Fawcet (Charlie's Angels) was also in the movies. I can't remember what Frank Sinatra's character did, but he was also in the movie. In fact, everybody in the movie was a legend.


There's a Canonball Run 3, but I never ever watched that movie.

Here's the preview of Canonball Run ( I had a huge crush on Farah Fawcett and I was heartbroken when she left Charlie's Angels and delighted when she returned).

I've posted this video before and I'll post it again. Lamborghini Countach versus Pontiac TransAm.

At people trying to trick me into derailing the thread. I never have and never will. I report derailers.

Back to the subject of disturbing movies.

I absolutely love Omar Sharif. I love all his movies, but this was quite disturbing. The cremation scene was disturbing. Yet I can't stop myself from watching it again.


The Far Pavilions.
