FILMS' TITLE

I met up with a film buddy of mine this evening to talk some productions business. Part and parcel with the meeting we sprinkled various film titles throughout -- reminiscences, mostly. It is amazing how many films one remembers from childhood. Occasionally, we would ask each other, "Robert Culp was in this made for tv movie... it is really good; what was that biker film that Adam Roarke was in from the sixties? (the answer was "which one?"); did you ever see that movie called Three Guys Named Mike? I saw it as a kid and really liked it; did you ever see Fireball 500 with Frankie Avalon?"... and so on.

All told, we recounted in some shape or form a couple of dozen flicks... of different budgets and eras. Dramas, science fiction, social responsibility or lack thereof, comedies, were the various categories. (I always knew we had varied tastes in movies.)

Now the trick is to track down a few of these films. Some are hard to find, while others are very hard to find. Some we could stop off at Suspect Video here in Toronto and pick off the shelf.

There is no way or enough time to catch up with all the movies I want to see, and just as importantly, haven't seen since my youth... (Just a few years ago.)
