Overlooked Underrated movie!!


I was watching Turner classic movies last night and this movie came on, i wanted to look it up then but was glued to the TV set. Absolutely AMAZING MOVIE! Can't believe there are few boards on this. What are you guys watching!

I agree! This is one of my favorite movies. Great road trip, with a lot of character growth and self-discovery along the way.

I too absolutely adore it and am saddened at how shockingly obscure it is. Reminds me of something I read written about Cassavetes' Shadows which I think also applies to Coppola and this film in that it's conceivable he made greater films but this is the one to cherish.

So true, this is a GREAT movie. so very underrated.


When there's no more room in hell, The dead will walk the earth...

yes... 7/10 from me. i think it's a milestone in coppola's career. imo it's his first succesful attempt at "serious" movies.

Agree, it was wonderful. Thank you, TCM!
