Hello out there. I just wanted to say that my two favorite movies are 1) Cutter's Way, which nobody else has even HEARD of, let alone seen and 2) Clint Eastwood's "Tightrope", which was a brilliant exploration of violence and sex and how America twists the two together. All you flamers out there who've only seen the Dirty Harry pictures or stupid Eastwood westerns dont know how good this guy can be. See the incredible, rivetting "Tightrope," or the oldie "Play Misty For Me." This guy is good. So has anyone seen "Cutter's Way", or is it just a fantasy of mine? By the way, "A Chorus Line" sucks, though the audition sequence that opens the picture is great. Very erotic; the dancers in their skimpy clothes so desperately wanting to charm Director Michael Douglas, though by film's end you'll wonder why...

So it must really exist! I liked it a great deal: it was one of the most visceral, powerful movies I ever saw, with some excellent acting by the crippled veteran character. I saw it with a good friend of mine, and I remember how both of us were shaking with the adrenaline rush after the climactic and violent (not the physical but the emotional violence) final scene. (Disclaimer: I still don't think it is one of the greatest movies of all time, just a very strong and affecting film!) Sri Rajeev ihnp4!attunix!rajeev
