Did "Meatballs" come out in '79 or '80? In any case, it's still a fun flick!

Wha?  ???
Haven't Seen Mother, Juggs & Speed?  With Bill Cosby as a beer drinking EMT driver, Raquel Welch a stuck up receptionist (Juggs, of course), & a young Harvey Kietel as a former cop (who was busted for amphetamines, as Speed) There’s even Larry Hagman in this flick just to stir things up. You're missing out!

Sugarland Express is one Steven Spielberg’s earlier works with Goldie Hawn as a distraught mom who hijacks a Texas DPS officer to get to her child in Sugarland, TX. One of Goldie’s better acting jobs, nice car chase flick.

Crazy Larry, Dirty Mary with Peter Fonda and Susan George who rob a supermarket and try to out drive and get away from Vic Morrow. Lot's of car crashes, lot's of cops wrecking their rides. Moronic banter between George and Fonda. Nice ending (sic)…

All cheesy 70's schlock, but fun!
In order to save you from your past discretions by not seeing these crusty jewels of cinema, Izod, I hereby order you to go out to the video store and rent these this weekend! ;D

Iffen you can FIND "Crazy Larry, Dirty Mary" anywhere, let me know!  As far as I know, the studios won't release it for television, home video, or anything.  I don't know why, but they won't, and I'd love to see it again!
:(

Duh, sorry, forgot about that.  Crazy Larry, Dirty Mary is AWOL at the local video store.
It's been on the FoxMovie Channel on cable a few times recently though (I taped it) and on some other premium movie channels too...keep an eye out for it on cable, or set yor Tivo to search for it...
