The Driver 1978
“I don’t work with people like you.”
“I don’t have any friends.”
“That’s a real sad song… only trouble, sad songs ain’t selling this year.
There’d be no Drive without The Driver. Another low key Walter Hill classic. A stylistic bridge, exiting the cinema of the 70s in the direction of the 80s schlock.

Lawrence of Arabia 1962
“There is only the desert for you.”
Subversive in a lot of ways, starting with the choice to make TE Lawrence some kind of dandy colonial officer. Nevertheless, it feels like an archetypal John Ford western shot against the complex geopolitics of a region in transition. One might make the argument that this is the epic film from which all other epic films come from.
