Just watching "To Live and Die in LA" (1985) for the third time
 

It took me exactly three viewings to put this movie to my all time top5 or something.

Not a wasted move, not a wasted dialogue, too real, so old school, great pace, combining the super intense 80's LA scenery with the best legacy of the "film noir" movies.

This is the French Connection of the 80's with young Willem Dafoe putting on his probably first and one of his greatest villain roles, William Petersen in his best days, a Friedkin trademark car chase, great Wang Chung original score.

I just can't find a dull moment in this movie

Hmm I never watched it.. gonna check it out for sure.

Same here, never seen it, but I know a lot of people who like it.

Love this movie.

wang chung!

Never seen it. Might check it out.

For some reason I'd stay with MANHUNTER...

I wonder what its Like in L.A.?

To Live and Die...in L.A.?

Saw it many years back and I have to agree it's one of those movies you want to see again...and again.

Never watched this one either..

I'm pretty into my films so i'm shocked i never got round to seeing this. I'll check it out.

Poster looks cool. I have never seen that movie.

It is one of my favorites. I try and watch it once a year or so.

Friedken is an amazing director. He also directed The Exorcist.

the voice in the trailer.. lol.. so 80's that alone makes you want to see it..

I don't think I've seen it. What are the other movies on your top 5 list?:)

A little Miami Vice-ish but I used to get off on it. I actually ended up doing a bit of time for doing the same thing - less successfully of course LOL. The book is better in the mode of being more realistic but less exciting. It's written by an ex secret service agent. He has a series of them. I think their was a movie from his first novella starring Dennis Hopper.

One of my favorites that I haven't seen in a long time...it's time for a re-visit...

He is a demi-God...

i agree with you, I love that movie.... realistic no nonsense action, not fancy slick action like most movies nowadays but just down right GRITTY! And the lead character is a real egoistic asshole, not an asshole with a good heart but just an ASSHOLE! That's something you rarely see in movies, I cant even think of another movie who has a lead character like this. 5 out of 5 stars from yours truly.

Looks interesting, I've never watched it... maybe I should.

"You want bread? Fuck a baker." One of my all time favorite movie lines.......
