If you’re a film fanatic, one book that’s absolutely worth checking out is Quentin Tarantino’s Cinema Speculation (buy it here). On the brilliant Video Archives podcast (which you really should be listening to), Tarantino downplays the autobiographical nature of the book, which is mostly about his reactions to the films that were seminal to him as a child of the seventies. But, along with the film analysis, there’s a lot of interesting, autobiographical material that adds up to a nostalgic depiction of a young film fan coming of age. For a lot of us, it’s tough not to relate.
With that in mind, Tarantino’s formative films are likely different than the ones from those of us who grew up a generation or so later, but every single movie that he mentions is well worth seeking out. Here are five to get started with:

This is a film that has a reputation. Regarded as somewhat of an exploitation classic, Rolling Thunder has – thanks to its unavailability – seemingly passed into legend amongst movie fans and after the last Blu-ray from a decade ago(!) went out of print, and now costs a fortune on the secondary market, next week’s [re]release has become one of the most anticipated of the year for some, myself included – for me mainly because I sold my Studio Canal Blu some time ago for mucho dinero and regretted it.
The plot goes something like this: after spending eight years in a Vietcong prison camp, Major Charles Rane (William Devane) returns home to a small town in Texas to be greeted as a hero with a Cadillac convertible and a couple of thousand dollars in silver coins,...

‘Harper Days Are Here Again,’ reads the advertising tag line for this worthy follow-up to Paul Newman’s first outing as Ross Macdonald’s jaded private eye. The movie is certainly worthy, but how did the producers let the terrific song Killing Me Softly with His Song get away?

“You learn to love the rope. That’s how you beat ’em. That’s how you beat people who torture you. You learn to love ’em. Then they don’t know you’re beatin’ ’em.”
Rolling Thunder (1977) screens Midnights next weekend (April 8th and 9th) at The Moolah Theater and Lounge (3821 Lindell Blvd, St. Louis, Mo 63108) as part of Destroy the Brain’s monthly Late Night Grindhouse film series.
Paul Schrader followed his Taxi Driver screenplay with the one for Rolling Thunder, a gritty revenge thriller directed by John Flynn in 1977. Similarities abound as both are about Vietnam vets who are ticking time bombs pushed to the brink by the violence they’ve come home to. But Rolling Thunder’s plot eventually veers from character study into a Death Wish-style vigilante thriller. Like Taxi Driver, it leads slowly toward a cathartic bloodbath finale. Rolling Thunder is highly regarded by fans and critics alike,...

If there is one thing about Quentin Tarantino we can be sure of, it’s that he loves movies. For film fans who don’t know too much about the “Blaxploitation” genre they may not have picked up the importance of Jackie Brown, or the fact that the movie was built around one actress, Pam Grier… To look at the reason for this, all you have to do is look no further than Arrow Video’s latest release Coffy.
Seen as one of the best films of the genre, Coffy (Pam Grier) is a nurse pushed to finding vengeance against the pimps, junkies and drug dealers who led to the hospitalisation of her sister. Playing out...

Think back to 1993′s the Fugitive, and you’ll find an actor at the top of his game in the shape of Harrison Ford: he knew how to make block-busters and was the kind of actor studios could hang a big budget on without too much concern. Tommy Lee Jones on the other hand had pretty much landed out of nowhere: prior to 1991, when he appeared in JFK, Jones was a bit part player in Hollywood with a number of TV movies and lowly movies under his belt.
But he had been involved in one stand out movie earlier in his career – a vengeance flick with one foot firmly in the exploitation world. And now that film – Rolling Thunder – is available to buy on blu-ray for the first time, after all but missing the DVD market entirely.

[The following review features a number of spoilers]
Rolling Thunder is the story of Major Charles Ranes (William Devane), a Vietnam vet who returns from years of imprisonment and torture in a Vietcong Pow camp to his home in Texas. He and his prison mate Johnny (Tommy Lee Jones) are greeted at the airport with a heroes welcome and Charles is given a brand new Cadillac and a suitcase of silver dollars in honour of his return. Charles is not the same man who went to war though and even comments that when in prison they referred to the time before imprisonment as when they were alive; the implication that he is now dead rings true in the cold performance by William Devane and the hollow and dark life that the character now lives.
Charles’ wife has moved on and is planning to divorce him and remarry, and his son cannot connect with this stranger that he cannot even remember.

Cult film fans rejoice! Classic revenge flick Rolling Thunder has finally been given its long-overdue release on DVD and Blu-Ray. The 1977 movie features a star cast including William Devane (Marathon Man, 24), Tommy Lee Jones (The Fugitive, Men in Black), and Linda Haynes (Human Experiments). Surprisingly, this is the 1977 movie’s first digital release having previously only been available on VHS.
Aside from the cast, the film has great pedigree as the screenplay was co-written by Paul Schrader shortly after he wrote Taxi Driver. Indeed, there are some clear parallels between the two stories. Like Taxi Driver, Rolling Thunder tells the story of a haunted Vietnam vet who exacts bloody vengeance on his transgressors. In this case, we follow the newly-escaped prisoner-of-war, Major Charles Raine (Devane), who has returned to a hero’s welcome in his hometown of San Antonio, Texas.
