Sampling Criterion's 80s horror offerings, Roadgames is NOT a horror movie, and it's barely a murder mystery, with Stacy Keach driving his trailer truck through the Australian outback, talking to himself and his pet dingo and eventually picking up hitchhiker Jamie Lee Curtis. Filled with quirky touches, some which work, some which don't imo, but I liked it a lot. Supposedly one of Tarantino's favorite films.
― Three Rings for the Elven Bishop (Dan Peterson), Monday, 10 October 2022 17:09 (one year ago) link
I turned off Roadgames after about 10 minutes when Keach's character would not stop telling dumb jokes to himself.
I watched The Hidden, starring Kyle MacLachlan, from the 80s horror collection. The body-snatching alien villain has bizarrely underachieving goals for most of the movie; it's mainly interested in stealing Ferraris and blasting the kind of late 80s music that no one is nostalgic for. Then it decides it wants to possess the body of a Presidential candidate.

sounds sort of prescient when you put it like that
― rob, Monday, 10 October 2022 17:51 (one year ago) link
Yeah I have about that same recollection of The Hidden from seeing it years ago, don't really feel like revisiting.
RE: Roadgames it's Keach's rambling to himself and his dingo, the dumb jokes and also his quoting poetry, that I think may have inspired Tarantino's approach to dialogue. It's a long shaggy dog story (at 100 minutes it feels way longer) with a not great conclusion, but I found it interesting enough to finish.

I watched Dream Demon also out of the '80s horror collection — not great, but fairly entertaining and something of a novel story in that it mostly revolves around two women basically helping each other deal with assorted traumas. Some low-budget atmospheric visuals that felt very '80s music-video to me.

I just realized The Archers' The Small Back Room (spine #441) is still on the channel, though it doesn't show up in https://www.criterionchannel.com/criterion-editions. It does show up if you search for it directly, though. It was added March 2020, I thought for a limited engagement, and...never removed? Hard to know if it's part of the permanent streaming library now or not.

People seem to like the Milieu Trilogy: Caliber 9 (Milano Calibro 9, 1972), The Italian Connection (La Mala Ordina, 1972), The Boss (Il Boxx, 1973).
