The Taking of Pelham One Two Three / USA / 1974
From the pulsing opening chords of David Shire’s musical score, this is quite the fun ride. Love the time capsule of 1970s New York City culture, from the lack of billboards that currently clog the cityscape to the gruff, offensive exchanges between the city MTA workers (still managing to barely avert large scale disaster these days). Love Matthau, Shaw & Co. – can Tony Scott really be remaking this ? You would think they would have learned from the TV movie, as nothing can capture the off-color charm of the original. Definitely one of the best films to see in a theater with an enthusiastic audience.
