Re: Really? You've NEVER seen that Classic Film?

I have never seen The Wages Of Fear (1953) , it is on the IMDB top 250 list and many consider it one of the greatest foreign language films.

I have seen the 1977 American remake Sorcerer which I did not like.

Hey Ritchie, the Yankees took two today.
"Aw, the Giants are gonna be in the cellar! In the cellar!"

"Hey Lou, turn on the Dodger game"

And this was just two years before both the Giants and the Dodgers left for California.

One of my top ten films, Aunt Catherine had many of the funniest lines. When she talked about her daughter in law- "She's a witch, that one! You know what she did to me yesterday, she gimme the evil eye!"
