Sorcerer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorcerer_(film) This film has an uninformative title and came out JUST before the original Star Wars so it didn’t have a chance. But it’s a decent thriller.
Sorcerer is one I learned about late last year and ended up finding on disc.
The bridge scene alone is worth price of entry but the rest of the film just drips atmosphere.
If I were to have ever lived in South America I’d probably say this was the most accurate representation of that time and place I’ve ever seen committed to film.
The beginning, while important to the story, was a bit too long for me.
Yeah the beginning could be edited a bit better. And it could use a better title. Anyway, you can usually find it on youtube or somewhere like that. i.e. here it is (tho missing subtitles?): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d71gug__SqE

Southern Comfort: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_Comfort_(1981_film) https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x9ttua8 https://fawesome.tv/movies/10343295/southern-comfort Has decent ratings on IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes, but didn’t make much money and is generally overlooked by critics. On !fullmoviesonyoutube@piefed.social I said: “The obvious comparisons are to “Deliverance,” but thematically closer to “Aguirre, the Wrath of God.” You could write a great college or high school paper talking about justice, discipline, social structures, power, subcultures, etc. If you’re into film technique, the way this movie uses sounds, silences, and setting is masterful. An action/thriller that also makes you think.”

What would you choose for a better title?
I’m thinking something simple but more directly alluding to the film. Maybe something like Jungle.
huy… brainstorming…
I like the second one or the last 2, I guess.
