This is Tarantino fuel. Pretty wild. Should be a fun watch.
After this one, add a young Jeff Bridges to Cassie's Mr Crushmore list. BTW does anybody remember The Fabulous Baker Boys w Jeff, his older brother Beau and a very youg Michelle Pfeiffer?
Not sure if I'd heard of this one. But the title sounds inspired by Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.
A fun film. Clint and Jeff are really good together. It also has the OG Daisy Duke in a small role.
I finally won Pick-a-Flick!!!! Which is not to say that my pick won, but I've been hoping for months now that the winning pick would be one that I *would* have chosen if I had infinite picks. Thunderfeet and Lightning Bolts (don't you love Cassie's dyslexic tendencies?) is definitely on my wishlist. Thank you Babalooga!
I ‘almost won’ this one. Besides my own pick winning, I have 4 categories for PaF films: 1) happy to see that film win 2) okay with that film winning 3) don’t care 4) please don’t let that film win Thunderbolt and Lightfoot falls into category 2.
Great movie!!
Nothing like a Clint Eastwood movie most people haven't heard of.
Exactly the kind of 'hidden gem' you want to turn up on PaF. Those who haven't seen it should see it.
Oh, I should've gotten home sooner to be present for Pick a Flick! Next time!
Btw Carly and cassie shuld watch Obsession. Perfect date movie. Promise. It's a carly movie too!
Congrats Babba_yaga77
Light FOOT, Light FOOT!! LIGHT FOOT!!!
Lightning? I’m reading lightning here.
Great Movie pick. Can't wait.
Just by chance for Cool Hand Luke actor George Kennedy won the Best Supporting Oscar for that movie and he is also in Thunderbolt and Lightfoot. That movie Jeff Bridges got nominated for Supporting Actor. (Did not win )
There is also a BBC Scene by Scene interview with Jeff Bridges. Thunderbolt and Lightfoot (1974) is discussed at 12:14 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWTnUk6QjQM
Congrats, looks like a good film.
Thunderbolt and Lightfoot (1974)!! Directed by Michael Cimino who would go on to make the Oscar winning war film The Deer Hunter (1978) and then the career-ending, studio bankrupting film Heaven's Gate (1980). Here is a segment of the retrospective documentary, THE MAKING OF HEAVENS GATE AND THE UNMAKING OF A STUDIO (2004), Thunderbolt and Lightfoot (1974) is discussed at 3:00 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDXoo5osM-k
'Thunderbolt and Lightfoot' - Light FOOT Cassie, not "Light-bolt" a second time ;-) - is a GREAT movie. And a HEIST movie too, so this should be a good reaction!
She has a hard time with names. Wasn't it Clint Edgewood for a while? It's one of the cute little quirks of the channel.
Did not get home till 8:30pm east coast time so i'm watching replay to maybe see how close I got to the final.
Jeff Bridges was nominated for best supporting Oscar for this movie.
FINALLY!!!
Well I was out quick
Hmm... don't see my pick. In the PaF portal I saw my pick was empty couple of days ago. It's now second or third consecutive month that when I check my pick at beginning of the month, it's empty and I had to explicitly add it back. Does anyone else had to redo each month?
This was the first month where I had to add mine since the site went up. It probably would have went in without my efforts before the next pick a flick anyways, but wasn’t going to risk it.
>I remember, you know, the first three, four years of the channel, everyone's like, "you should do Game of Thrones." >[I was] Like, "No. It's so long, it's such an undertaking." You were right. The same with Trek, and Andor coming up, and all the excruciatingly long franchises that have taken so many "watch slots" - so long for everybody not into those series. Viva Variety!
I'm tellin' ya!!! With a movie you're not into, you shrug your shoulders and go "Oh well, maybe next week." Luckily Andor is only 24 episodes.
Good pick, BY!
GZ to the winner. Cool pick. ...and it is even included in one of my streaming services 🥹 - Hoorray!
At least my pick didn’t won. Mine was Sahara (2005). Go figure…😐🫤
"Thunderbolt and lightning" Lol, close enough. Congrats to Babba Yaga. That's a good one. Probably the youngest you've ever seen Jeff Bridges, Cassie. Should be a fun react.
Very very frightening me! GALILEO Galileo GALILEO Figaroooooo
Finally a decent PaF winner.
Sorry to hear the Buffy actor Anthony Head died. He was just 72.
Congrats Babba Yaga.
You have a better chance of getting hit by car then getting your movie picked.
Are you exicited for the mandalorian and grogs movie
No to Rogue One! What is the point?
She's already reacted to it.
I really hope you pick my choice.
Don't we all🤣
