The Wild Bunch (1969)


































  Pike Bishop is the leader of an outlaw gang of aging criminals. After performing their latest job, the gang decides to retire  from their wild life. But their adventures are not over yet and they still have a long way to go into the Wild West...
  Legendary director Sam Peckinpah directs yet another legendary western film filled with intense and run-down characters in a filthy environment. Amazing and breathtaking background and adrenaline-packed scenes that let the characters evolve and unfold. This is where the not-so-cheesy punchlines get their special day and where bullets have the same power as balls!
  For such a film, Peckinpah would not allow the cast to be anything different than what he would choose. Enter William Holden, Ernest Borgnine, Robert Ryan, Ben Johnson, Warren Oates, Jaime Sánchez and master Emilio Fernández. Don't be surprised that women are not a big thing in this film. This is as manly as a manly western film can get, with ideals and concepts only pleasing to men. This is The Expendables only 40 years earlier!
Must watch this : have a big all-day party with all your dudes. Start with gymnastics and showing off, continue with a big ass all-meat barbeque and end with cigar and cognac session. Play this film right after the meat is ready and the beer is cold and flowing!

Escape From New York (1981)


































  1997. New York has been turned into the biggest maximum security prison in the world. The President's plane crashes into New York and he is held hostage by a group of criminals who demand better imprisonment conditions. There is only one man who can enter this prison and get out alive and that is Snake Plissken...
  You can tell it's the 80's by the way the are dressed and you sure gotta love the weird charm of it! Another fine addition in the Sci-Fi genre by master John Carpenter. Dystopian situations, oppressive and corrupt government officials,a prison city run by a respected criminal and his team of weirdly dressed henchmen, a classic son of a bitch/hero and lots of 80's freakiness.
  All-star male cast parading in this film! Lee Van Cleef, Ernest Borgnine, Kurt Russell and Isaac Hayes! The  General, the Taxi Driver, the Snake and the Duke. Too bad Kurt Russell's performance isn't as good as the others' or the level would have been much higher. But we don't care much, right? Especially when we have such a great story and violent 80's action? No sir, we don't!
Must watch this : the day before your country's elections. Grab a beer and watch this with the dudes. The next day remember that all politicians are crooked and vote as you must. Start a fight with the policemen standing outside the voting center just because you feel like it!

The Devil's Rain (1975)


































  A sect of Satanists operates deep out into the desert. They have horrifying powers over the non-believers using their faith in the Dark Lord. A victim's son decides to put an end to all this and vows to destroy them and their ceremonial church!
  Another classic piece in the ocean of cult cinema. Look out for Anton and Diane LaVey who (for those who don't know) are the High Priest and Priestess of the church of Satan. Anton LaVey is known to have participated in the making of  the film too, providing his stylistic ideas on the special effects. It is good that  director Robert Fuest has him besides him, thus using his skills better to provide this piece of cult art!
  William Shatner is the man here, as a true fan of Satan and Ernest Borgnine is his Christian nemesis. Both act too well for such a low-budget film but that does not take away any atmosphere. Little John Travolta does a cameo appearance here as a starting actor! Quite notable are the special effects too, for such a film. This movie has one of the most convincing melting techniques you will see. True disgusting religious horror!
Must watch this : with a friend who believes more than they should! Troll them and after the film expect a preaching! Must have some cheap American beers during the film and some high-volume shit like that after!
