Movies for Saturday January 23, 2010

On January 23 1944 Rutger Hauer was born... so the theme for today are movies with Rutger Hauer-enjoy!

1 Blade Runner (1982) Director Ridley Scott
Sci-fi cult hit starring Harrison Ford as retired police assassin who falls for his next mark... beautifully shot in future dystopia with Hauer as the consummate bad guy...

2 Confessions of a Dangerous Mind (2002) Director George Clooney/Steven Soderbergh
Highly entertaining look into the warped unauthorized autobiography of television producer Chuck Barris.

3 Batman Begins (2005) Director Christopher Nolan
Fascinating prequel to Batman films...

4 Turkish Delight (1973) Director Paul Verhoeven
Story of romance between gifted sculptor (Hauer) and beautiful young girl-Academy Award Nominee for Best Foreign Language Film.

5 Spetters (1980) Director Paul Verhoeven
Controversial for its time-follows the lives of three amateur motorcycle racers...

6 Sin City (2005) Director Frank Miller/Robert Rodriguez
Disturbing dark world of violence and treachery are depicted in this adaptation of Frank Miller's graphic novels.

7 The Hitcher (1985) Director Robert Harmon
Over the top horror with Hauer as crazy hitchhiker serial killer-remade in 2007.

As I have seen all but two films from the above picks (Turkish Delight, and Spetters) I look forward to your feedback... enjoy!
