Don't Come Knocking is a 2005 film, a comedy-drama road movie directed by German director Wim Wenders and written by Wenders and actor/playwright Sam Shepard. The two had previously collaborated on Paris, Texas twenty years previously, to which this film bears superficial story similarities, albeit told in a much lighter tone.Shepard stars as Howard Spence, an aging, hard-living Western movie star, who, disgusted with his life, flees by horse from the set of his latest western filming in the desert outside Moab, Utah. He hits the road looking for refuge in his past, traveling to his hometown of Elko, Nevada and, eventually, to Butte, Montana, looking for a woman (Jessica Lange) he left behind twenty years before when he was filming a movie there. Spence is doggedly pursued by Mr. Sutter (Tim Roth), a humorless representative of the insurance company insuring Spence's latest film: Mr. Sutter's job is to return Spence to the set to finish filming the movie.

Bolero is a 1984 film starring Bo Derek, and written and directed by her husband John Derek. The film centers on Bo Derek's sexual awakening and her journey around the world to pursue an ideal first lover who will take her virginity.
Bo Derek's 1979 film 10 had made her a sudden superstar; the film had prominently used Ravel's Boléro music piece as a lovemaking theme. It was said that the title of the Bolero film was an attempt to leverage audience recognition of this, five years later.
Bolero was released with no MPAA rating; its nudity and sexual content—including nude scenes of Olivia d'Abo, who was 14 or 15 at the time of filming—disqualified it from a "R" rating. At the time of release the NC-17 rating had not yet been established and the only higher rating being X, John Derek decided to released the film unrated. The film's tagline is "An adventure in eXtasy."
The film was thrashed by the critics; it was nominated for nine Golden Raspberry Awards and won six, including "Worst...,

The Concorde ... Airport '79 is a 1979 American disaster film (in the UK, it was released a year later as Airport '80: The Concorde). The film was the fourth and final installment of the Airport series and is widely considered the poorest effort of the series. Universally derided by critics, the film made only US$13 million [1] at the box office.
Some, such as All Movie Guide's Bruce Eder have interpreted the film as a self-parody, due to the film's outrageous premise, situations, and casting. In The Concorde ... Airport '79, the airplane rolls inverted, which, among other aerobatcis, would be difficult for even the most experienced pilot to accomplish safely. Also notable is the casting of Mercedes McCambridge as a Soviet Olympics coach. For a period in the 1950s, McCambridge was blacklisted during the Red Scare in America. Plus, McCambridge has been credited as the voice of the devil in The Exorcist , while Linda Blair (who played the little possessed giril in The Exorcist) was in ...,

Airport '77 is a 1977 disaster film and second sequel in the Airport franchise. The film is generally considered the best of the sequels due to the quality of the writing and acting, even if the technical feasibility of the ditching and subsequent submersion of a fully pressurised 747 might be questioned. The film starred a number of veteran actors, including Jack Lemmon, James Stewart, Joseph Cotten, and Olivia de Havilland. Like its predecessors, Airport '77 was a box office hit earning US$30 million [1] but marked the series' progression into increasingly unlikely plots.
A privately owned luxury Boeing 747, Stevens' Flight 23 (call sign two-three sierra heavy) complete with piano bar, office, and bedroom, is used to ferry invited guests to an estate owned by wealthy philanthropist Philip Stevens (James Stewart).

Airport 1975 is a 1974 disaster film and the first sequel to the successful 1970 hit Airport. Unlike the original film, Airport 1975 was a bona fide "blockbuster" disaster film, with an "all-star" cast and extensive promotional campaign. The film is one among many of a class of campy 1970s disaster movies. Its plot devices and shallow characterizations, including a singing nun (Helen Reddy), a former glamorous star (Gloria Swanson), an alcoholic (Myrna Loy), a child in need of an organ transplant (Linda Blair), and a chatterbox (Sid Caesar) were parodied in part in 1980's Airplane!. The characteristics of Airport 1975 were also used in numerous similar films to come, including the film's own sequels: Airport '77 and The Concorde: Airport '79.
Though derided by the critics upon its release, Airport 1975 was ultimately a success. With a budget of US$3 million, the film made over US$47 million [1] at the box office. Helen Reddy was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Most Promising...,

Thunderbolt and Lightfoot is a 1974 crime film starring Clint Eastwood, Jeff Bridges, George Kennedy, and Geoffrey Lewis.
It was filmed in Fort Benton, Wolf Creek, and Great Falls, Montana in the Summer of 1973. Jeff Bridges was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.
According to Steven Bach's book Final Cut, Clint Eastwood vowed never to work with the movie's distributor United Artists again due to what he felt was poor promotion of it.
The script for the film was originally written on spec (speculation) by Michael Cimino. On reading it, Eastwood liked it so much that he originally intended to direct it himself. However, on meeting Cimino, he decided to give him the directing job instead, giving Cimino his big break. Cimino's work on Thunderbolt & Lightfoot led directly to his Oscar-winning The Deer Hunter (1978).

Lost Horizon is a 1973 musical film directed by Charles Jarrott and starring Peter Finch, John Gielgud, Liv Ullmann, Michael York, Sally Kellerman, Bobby Van, George Kennedy, Olivia Hussey, James Shigeta and Charles Boyer.
The film is a remake of Frank Capra's film of the same name, with screenplay by Larry Kramer. Both films are based on James Hilton's novel.
After derided preview screenings Columbia Pictures tried to re-cut the film, but to no avail. Critic John Simon remarked that it "must have arrived in garbage rather than in film cans". The songs are by Burt Bacharach and Hal David, whose long partnership hit rocky ground within months of this film's release.
In a motif similar to the use of Technicolor in The Wizard of Oz, the film only becomes a musical in the central Shangri-La sequence, with the framing 'civilization' sequences played as straight drama.
The film was not available on video for years until Pioneer Entertainment released a reconstructed version of the longer...,

Airport is a 1970 film based on the 1968 Arthur Hailey novel of the same name. This film, which earned over $100,000,000 at the box office, centers around an airport manager trying to keep his airport open during a snowstorm, while a suicidal bomber plots to blow up an airplane (a Boeing 707) in flight.Although it had a complex plot, Airport paved the way for the disaster film genre and established many of the conventions for that genre.The movie was written for the screen and directed by George Seaton. Seaton was assisted by Henry Hathaway, and Ernest Laszlo photographed it in 70 mm Todd-AO. It was the last film scored by Alfred Newman before his death.The story takes place at the fictional Chicago-area Lincoln International Airport.

...tick...tick...tick... is an American movie made in 1970 directed by Ralph Nelson. Racially provocative for its time, it stars Jim Brown in the role of an African-American man elected as the sheriff of a rural county in the American South. It has become somewhat of a cult classic for its cutting-edge portrayal of racial relations and its tense narrative.
The movie was released seven years after Nelson's 1963 film Lilies of the Field, starring Sidney Poitier, which was made before the eruption of violence stemming from the American civil rights movement of the mid 1960s. It also portrayed the controversy of racial relations, but with a much gentler narrative.
The movie was also released the same year as Nelson's Soldier Blue which provided a fictionalized account of a massacre of Indians by U.S. cavalry troops in the 1860s.
The movie can be viewed as something of a counter-narrative to the 1967 movie In the Heat of the Night, which featured Poitier as a Philadelphia detective sent...

Cool Hand Luke is a 1967 American film starring Paul Newman and directed by Stuart Rosenberg. The screenplay was adapted by Donn Pearce and Frank Pierson from the novel by Pearce.Newman stars in the title role as Luke, a prisoner in a Florida prison camp who refuses to submit to the system. His inability to conform drives the plot of the movie, in the same vein as characters such as Winston from Nineteen Eighty-Four, McMurphy from One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest or Holman in The Sand Pebbles.Luke is sent to the prison camp for cutting the heads off parking meters one drunken night, and when asked what kind of thing that is for a man to do, his explanation is "Small town, not much to do in the evenin'. Mostly just settlin' up old scores." His unquenchable spirit makes the other prisoners idolize (and idealize) him, and leads to his Christ-like martyrdom at the hands of the authorities. There is occasional Christian imagery and reference throughout, notably in the closing pullback shot...

Nathanson, featuring Lee Marvin, Ernest Borgnine, Telly Savalas, Charles Bronson and Jim Brown.
