Wow, you got pretty much all the bases covered. Just needs some Days of Heaven, Deliverance, and Marathon Man.
Yeah, those are actually the three main films from this era I've wanted to see for a while now, especially Marathon Man. I just think Laurence Olivier is an awesome actor and I would just love to see him as a villain.
You should also check out (if you like Clint Eastwood and Jeff Bridges) the always under-rated but still Oscar nominated Thunderbolt & Lightfoot directed by Michael Cimino.
Will do!
I also recommend The Last Detail. One of Nicholson's greatest performances.
Also, Scarecrow with Pacino and Hackman, and The Panic In Needle Park with Pacino are very, very good.
I'll definitely check out The Last Detail.
I'm glad you said Scarecrow and Panic in Needle Park. I can't believe those slipped my mind while making this! I absolutely loved Scarecrow and I really liked Panic in Needle Park. Thanks for reminding me! I'll add those two to this list right away as well as The Last Detail to my watchlist.
