• The Taking Of Pelham One Two Three

    Posted by on June 14th, 2009 · Comments (7)

    Saw the 1974 version of this one, tonight, on Channel 11. Man, it’s been something like 25 years since I’ve last watched it. Classic flick. (Just ask Quentin Tarantino.) It’s a great N.Y.C. early to mid-70′s period piece. And, the cast is a “Who’s Who” of New Yorker character actors. If you’ve never seen it, and intend on going to see the new version, you might want to check it out the original.

      I saw this today, i thought it was OK. Is it just me or have the quality of action/drama flicks gone down overall?

      Is this a remake? I didn’t think it was. I still plan on checking it out someday

      The original is one of my favorite movies. I remember watching it with my dad on VHS back when I was in junior high…

      I will see the remake but nothing will top the original in my book.

      Gesundheit!
