Silver Streak great classic movie. Love the line where Richard Pryor introduces himself as "I'm a thief".

Great Cast. Gene Wilder, Scatman Crothers stealing scenes, Jill Clayburgh, Patrick McGoohan ultimate sinister ruthless badguy, Ned Beatty as the Vitamin salesman talking about scoring with the ladies, but he's an undercover cop, Clifton James as the sheriff stealing scenes (Don't Shoot!), and Ray Walson NOT playing "Aloha Mr. Hand"....And don't overlook Fred Willard and Richard Kiel.

Since we're jumping into the wayback machine, my wife and I are watching 'Soap' on DVD. Groundbreaking what that show did back in 1977.

And looping back to 1977: Fred Willard as sidekick Jerry Hubbard on Fernwood 2 Night, a summer replacement for Mary Hartman Mary Hartman.

Watched on a 13" RCA color TV. My trust fund hadn't kicked in back then.

Along with Silver Streak in the "inter-racial odd-couple buddies ally with femme fatale to battle the rich and powerful bad guys" movie category is Trading Places.

I loved Fernwood 2 Night. Martin Mull aka Barth Gimble is a hoot.

His interview of Tom Waits is gold.

Sticking with the year 1977, I just heard that M. Emmet Walsh passed away. He had a bit part as sports writer Dickie Dunn in the movie Slapshot (1977).

This thread has experienced good thread drift. The original topic was based on the rantings of a lunatic.

Paul Newman, Hanson Brothers, definitely a classic worth watching again.

I think two great performances by Martin, the Dentist in Little Shop of Horrors, Roxanne.

Several of the cast have passed away. There is a FB group for Slap Shot. Many of them were actual semi-pro hockey players. Newman said it was one of the most fun film shoots he ever did.
