A great movie. Some "scary" parts in it.

Absolute classic. As good as the actual book. One of Alan Parker's best! (Angel Heat has to be released on Blu-ray as well).

Pro-B

This movie is like Papillon and The Deerhunter for me. I feel like I survive it.

This movie taught me to be on my best behavior when travelling abroad. Yeesh.

Day one.

To be honest I have never seen this. After seeing the few responses, I will be picking this up to see what I have been missing.

Exactly. I don't wanna spend a single solitary second in any prison, let alone one that's in another country. Hard to watch at times, but

As Far As My Feet Will Carry Me.

Well, I doubt it this film will be coming out on BD anytime soon, so here's a tiny bit I wrote on it a few years ago -- the true story of a Nazi soldier who after the end of WW2 was sent to the death camps, the GULAGs, in Siberia; he walked back to freedom, 14 000 kilometers, from Camp Dezhnev, the eastern-most point of Russia, to Iran, where he was picked up an flown back to Germany. The film was denied a US entry for obvious reasons.

This is a great movie with a even greater performance by Brad Davis. Interestingly this film seemed to have propelled dir- Alan Paker, scr- Oliver Stone and music- Giorgio Moroder.

You are welcome. This being said, the film was rejected for theatrical distribution, but I believe that a very small label finally picked up the rights (DVD) in 2007. If this comes on BD, do not miss it.
