Pit Stop (1969)

  Rick Bowman, a car junkie and speed addict, is approached by a shady guy who wants to sponsor him to participate in a new form of automobile racing, the Figure 8. This is a very dangerous kind of sport as the risks of crashing and getting killed is the actual point of it all. Rick will face his arch enemy and try to make it out alive...
  Jack Hill is a very respectable director and writer of the celluloid underground. Throughout the years he found his perfect balance of sleaze, trash and exploitation, all boosted by an aspiration to become something greater. Hence his films have a more "normal" feel to them than the average B-movie. His greatest achievements, though, were his contribution to the Blaxploitation genre and this film is just 3 years before that! By that token, Pit Stop should interest even as little as to see the progress he would later make. Of course, it is more than that...
  The cast some interesting appearances. It is the kind of cast that wanted something bigger for themselves although certain factors contributed to that never happening during their career. And you can feel and see that in their eyes. And you can imagine them at the same time as you are watching this film, sitting on their couch, reminiscing, with the whole nostalgic,melancholic Tarantinesque vibe. But, that is still OK, because people like Richard Davalos, Ellen Burstyn, Sid Haig, Beverly Washburn and Brian Donlevy are the actual everyday heroes we need to keep it going. To remind us that dreams are out there to be chased even if the chase is as vain as a car racing and chasing the sun...
Must watch this : on a hot spring Sunday morning. After the film, expect an unbeatable urge to get in your car,turn that key around and drive for as far as the tank can take ya!

Rocky (1976)

  A small-time mob muscle man and an aspiring boxer, Rocky Balboa, spends most of his time practising and unsuccessfully hitting on his friend's sister. Life gives him a chance to make it big when a world boxing champion wants to meet him in the ring. While this is a suicide mission, Rocky has to prove to everyone that there is always point in trying your best...
  This is one of the landmarks of modern cinema! Sylvester Stallone really risked his life trying to get this movie screened and that is something you can actually sense throughout the film; an air of fighting freedom, when there is nothing left to be lost so one can only win. John G. Avildsen and his directing helped put all the emotions in an acceptable order and the result is as beautiful as a flawless uppercut. the film also boasts vivid imagery throughout the film (the slums, the gym, the miserable housing, the fights) and the intense feelings get even more intense. All in all, Rocky is an icon and this film is a pure example of how all success stories have to begin, endless fight and hardships with sprinkles of persistence through bad luck.
  Stallone is not the finest actor in general and he is not the best actor in this film either. Not trying to undermine Stallone but the rest of the cast is actually more impressive! Tali Shire manages to uplift her role to a whole other level when you see her character actually evolving from a shy girl to a full woman next to Rocky. Burt Young plays one of those lowlife guys who snatch away at anything small-time to get by. And I tell you there are a few guys who can play that part that well! Carl Weathers is a good example of a character spinning around his own success and seeking his demise while Burgess Meredith is the finest of them all. The most cult, the the most insulting, the most raw character/actor in this film and you can't but love him!
Must watch this :  right before you make the final decision of really stepping forward in your life. Mix up "The Champion's Breakfast" right after the film and go out to face the world and own it!

Death Race 2000 (1975)

  In a dystopian 2000, a cross-country automobile race is held as an annual national event. Contestants are supposed to kill as many civilian pedestrians as they can in order to collect points that will help them win the race and shake the President's hand. Driver Frankenstein has other ideas...
  Directed by Paul Bartel and produced by Roger Corman, this one weird film. It starts off as a rather interesting Sci-Fi race movie but suddenly it reveals it true cult nature. Pedestrians as targets, unconventional characters in weird things that look like cars, nudity and a rebellion in hand. Impressive comic-like sets and effects really give a more light mood to it, too! It doesn't get any cheesier than that, not when you have Corman producing it!
  David Carradine plays Frankenstein, the seemingly evil driver and by his side Simone Griffeth, a rebellion fighter undercover. This film even has Sylvester Stallone as Machine Gun Joe Viterbo, as the aggressive driver whose only point in life is to win the race and beat Frankenstein. All actors do a great job and act as if they would in a mainstream film and so, the film has an "arrogance" of better-than-B-Movie! A must watch!
Must watch this : with the dudes and a club sandwich each. Laugh with the gory murder scenes like the little sadists you are and after the film get in a car and start following a random car as if in a race. Don't die, though.
