My guess is that the underlined has never been written or uttered before.
I would pretty much agree,but he has had his moments..he was very good I thought in The Buddy Holly story,his singing performance was better than I thought he would be.
Runaway Train.
Jon Voigt as a psycopath philospher and Eric Roberts as -- well, you know, Eric Roberts -- with a little pre-boob job Rebecca DeMornay thrown in just for fun.

haha one of my favorites.. I liked when Charles Grodin says to Deniro yeah I know,you're gonna hit me in the head and dump me in the thing, yeah yeah yeah..
"Hickey & Boggs" (1971)
"My Name is Nobody" (1973)
"The Late Show" (1977)
"The Yakuza" (1975)
"The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp" (1943)
Farewell, My Lovely, 1975
Robert Mitchum in a dang fine adaption of the Chandler book. Mitchum looks a little old for the part, but doggone it, he's Robert Mitchum as Phillip Marlow and it works. Look for a brief flash (and I mean FLASH) of pre-anything Sly Stallone as a hoodlum/thug.

That is probably one of the best Chandler movie adaptations that I've seen over the years.
Just to note, The Yakuza was a Mitchum vehicle as well - and a very good movie. And I agree about Farewell, My Lovely.
I liked Lords a lot too. Just like the rest of his movies, they are so bizarre that the first time I see the film, I think "What in the heck did I just watch?" Then I feel the need to watch it again and think he is a weird, bizarre genius. They all grow on me big time as time passes. Lords gives me a freaky feeling all the way through. And that music! Talk about freakville.
Excellent movie. I'm not sure of the lead actor's name, but he did a great job.
Lol two words - Silver Bullet. He was freakin hilarious in that. Exquisite I don't know, but he has had a few moments to go along with all the crazy.
My standard answer to this is a little movie called "Tomorrow." Robert Duvall is the only name you're likely to recognize, and since it was made in 1971 and released in 1972, it's pre-Godfather. Duvall plays a solitary farmer who takes in a pregnant woman. Based on a William Faulkner short story. Amazingly beautiful movie. Tomorrow (1972) - IMDb
In the mid-70's Mitchum had something of a comeback. The nostalgia for the 30's and 40's was pretty strong at that time and the "neo-noir" was real popular as well. Mr. Mitchum was in his late fifties at the time (so he had that world-weariness going. Battered and cycnial, but not quitting) and had starred in several now classic 1940's noir films. He was great in the mid-70's movies. I guess it was kismet.
