Electra Glide in Blue

“You ain’t got it in you, John. You just ain’t got it in you.” James William Guercio directed exactly one film, moonlighting from his day job managing the band Chicago, several members of which make cameos in this cop’s-eye-view of the counter-culture 70s. Robert Blake,…

The last shot of this movie is the most beautiful shot in the history of cinema. One of the best American movies of all time. Absolute essential viewing. Go in blind and lock in lol your jaw will be on the floor by the end

This film. Wow. Uneasy Rider. Biggest turnaround I've had on something since realizing Cutter's Way is actually a masterpiece. It just goes to show how influential your environment effects a watch. How the time of day effects a watch. How your state of mind effects a…

“Why’d you have to shoot yourself in my jurisdiction?”There’s a body. The coroner (Royal Dano) wants to close the case as a suicide, but lowly highway patrolman “Big John” Wintergreen (Robert Blake) isn’t so sure. When big shot detective Poole (Mitchell Ryan) backs John up,…
