The Midnight Max Review: My Favorite Films From The Year 1975


 In Alphanumeric Order...

  1.  3 Days Of The Condor - Advice from an Assassin - Tagline: His code name is Condor. In the next twenty-four hours everyone he trusts will try to kill him.- Memorable quote: "Boy, what is it with you people? You think not getting caught in a lie is the same thing as telling the truth?" - "I don't remember yesterday. Today it rained."
  2. The Apple Dumpling Gang - Tagline:Wanted: For chicanery, skulduggery, tomfoolery and habitual bungling! - Memorable quote: "You know something, Amos? The Lord poured your brains in with a teaspoon, and somebody joggled His arm. I keep trying to tell you we ain't got no lead to throw, and no powder to throw it with."- Memorable Soundtrack/score selection: The Apple Dumpling Gang by Shane Tatum
  3. Bite The Bullet - Memorable quote: "We came out of the jungle and there it was - San Juan Hill. The Spanish guns lookin' right down our throat, the sharpshooters pickin' us off and we just charged right up that hill! ... That's not the way it happened at all. It wasn't anything like it was in San Antoine where we did our trainin'. That's where I ran into Luke and a lot of other men from every other country who wanted to be Roughriders. Bakers and barbers and Congressman, cattlemen, ballplayers, farmers and porters... cowboys. No, we didn't rough ride up that hill, 'cause we didn't have any horses. We didn't charge up there, either. We crawled up there on our scared bellies. There was only one horse and one rider - that was Colonel Teddy. He went chargin' up that damn hill and they shot his glasses off. He put on another pair and they nipped him in the elbow, and he said, "Follow me!" And we did, 'cause we was too damned ashamed not to."
  4. Breakheart Pass - Tagline: Death rode the rails to Breakheart Pass - Memorable quote: "When a man is a killer, arsonist, a cheat and a coward, it's hardly surprising if he turns out to be a liar as well."
  5. The Drowning Pool - Tagline: Harper days are here again...  - Memorable quote: (Last Lines) "Harper, you're not such a tough guy."
  6. The Eiger Sanction - Memorable quote: "Don't for get your trench coat. How's anybody gonna recognize you without your disguise?"
  7. Farewell, My Lovely - Memorable quotes: "Now wait a minute. I've been slapped, scratched, punched, knocked unconscious, drugged, and shot at, looking for your Velma, so quit trying to make a milkshake out of my insides, will you?" - "This past spring was the first that I felt tired and realized I was growing old. Maybe it was the rotten weather we'd had in L.A. Maybe the rotten cases I'd had. Mostly chasing a few missing husbands and then chasing their wives once I found them, in order to get paid. Or maybe it was just the plain fact that I am tired and growing old."
  8. Hard Times - Memorable quote: "Well, you know Chick, like old momma said, next best thing to playing and winning is playing and losing."

  11. Night Moves - Tagline: Maybe he would find the girl... maybe he would find himself. Memorable quote: "Listen Delly, I know it doesn't make much sense when you're sixteen. Don't worry. When you get to be forty, it isn't any better."- "When the president got shot, I was on my way to San Diego. Football game. When Bobby got shot, I was sitting in a car waiting for a guy to come out of a house with his girlfriend. Working on a divorce case. One of those times I wish I was in another business."
  12. One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest - Tagline: If he's crazy, what does that make you? Memorable quotes: "Mmmmmm, Juicy Fruit." - "But I tried, didn't I? Goddamnit, at least I did that." - "They was giving me ten thousand watts a day, you know, and I'm hot to trot! The next woman takes me on's gonna light up like a pinball machine and pay off in silver dollars!" -  "Goddammit chief, you fooled 'em all!" -  Memorable Soundtrack/score selection: One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest (Closing Theme) by Jack Nitzsche

  16. The Wind And The Lion - Memorable quote: "Mrs. Pendecaris, you're a great deal of trouble." - "To Theodore Roosevelt - you are like the Wind and I like the Lion. You form the Tempest. The sand stings my eyes and the Ground is parched. I roar in defiance but you do not hear. But between us there is a difference. I, like the lion, must remain in my place. While you like the wind will never know yours. - Mulay Hamid El Raisuli, Lord of the Riff, Sultan to the Berbers, Last of the Barbary Pirates."- Memorable Soundtrack/Score selection: The Wind And The Lion Suite by Jerry Goldsmith
