I'm so damn pleased to have found this on archive. Three Days of The Condor is one of my absolute favorite movies ever.

Condor was originally going to be more of a generic spy film to generate some cash for the director, Sydney Pollack. But after the Watergate scandal, the general mood of the country shifted toward mistrust in government, so they tweaked the screenplay to make it a far more serious film with a message, which resulted in one of the finest thrillers of the 70's.

The acting by everyone involved is superb, the casting excellent, and the story excellently told. If I had to compare it to anything, it really feels like a 1970's prequel to the Bourne Conspiracy.

The story focuses on Joe Turner, a bookish CIA analyst codenamed "Condor" who works at the American Literary Historical Society in New York City, which is actually a clandestine CIA office. The staff members examine books, newspapers, and magazines from around the world to compare them to actual operations or to mine ideas, and things take off from there.

This is, in my opinion, the best movie I've yet posted to thus community, so if you're lookin' for something to watch tonight, I highly recommend grabbing some snacks and getting stuck in! :)

A fictionalized account of a true story, it centers on the controversial 60 Minutes segment about Jeffrey Wigand, a whistleblower in the tobacco industry,[3] covering his and CBS producer Lowell Bergman's struggles as they defend his testimony against efforts to discredit and suppress it by CBS and Wigand's former employer.

Though not a box office success, The Insider received acclaim from critics, who praised Crowe's portrayal of Wigand and Mann's direction. It was nominated for seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Actor in a Leading Role (for Russell Crowe).

There are a couple of cuss words blanked out the in the first couple minutes, but whoever was doing that got bored and quit doing it after a while. Also, the youtube comments say some of the violence was edited down.

Was uploaded yesterday, aspect ratio is a little weird, might be removed in a day or two. UPDATE: yep, it' gone.

Honest Thief is a 2020 American action thriller film directed by Mark Williams, from a screenplay by Williams and Steve Allrich. The film stars Liam Neeson, Kate Walsh, Jai Courtney, Jeffrey Donovan, Anthony Ramos and Robert Patrick, and follows a former bank robber (Liam Neeson) who decides to turn himself in to the FBI, only to be set up by corrupt agents.

Thief is a truly fantastic film, and in my opinion was Michael Mann at his best, full of incredible moody shots in a rain soaked Chicago.

It's incredibly grounded and gritty for the 80's, and easily could've been a modern Netflix special. The music was done by Tangerine Dream, which is always a treat (though apparently Michael Mann later questioned his decision to use them!).

All of the cops in the film are actually real life convicted thieves, who advised the film on the techniques used. The breaking and entering was done by the actual actors after being coached by the real thieves, which gives it a ton of authenticity.

The actors do a fantastic job (real life thieves included!) and the story is tight and well told. Bit of a slow burn, but absolutely worth it.

Tommy Johnson (Danny Dyer) is a member of a violent Chelsea hooligan firm. His friends and fellow hooligans include Tommy's best friend Rod King (Neil Maskell), the hot-tempered Billy Bright (Frank Harper), and impulsive younger members Zeberdee (Roland Manookian) and Raf (Calum MacNab). Tommy spends his days drinking, using drugs, womanising and fighting, much to the disappointment of his grandfather Bill Farrell (Dudley Sutton), a pensioner and veteran who plans to move to Australia with his best friend Albert (John Junkin).

There's nothing different about me. I'm just another bored male, approaching 30, in a dead-end job, who lives for the weekend. Casual sex, watered-down lager, heavily cut drugs. And occasionally kicking fuck out of someone.

What else are you gonna do on a Saturday? Are you gonna sit in some poxy office with a cunt for a boss telling you what to do as you count your pennies trying to make ends meet in a country that's sinking into strikes and wars and at the end of the day you go home to your cosy little flat in 'nowheresville' and pull your IKEA curtains shut to hide from the big bad world and pretend it's not happening? Sit in your fuckin' armchair wankin' off to Pop Idols? Then try and avoid your wife's gaze as you struggle to come to terms with your sexless marriage? Then go and spunk your wages on kebabs, fruit machines and brasses? Or are you gonna stand up and be counted, make a difference and feel the rush?

Just for once say "fuck it". I'm coiled up like a spring and I'm ready to burst and wanking ain't doing it anymore. I need violence to make me feel I'm still alive. Fuck all that for a laugh! I know what I'd rather do. Tottenham away, love it!
