I'm 45 minutes into this movie...


First time viewer. This movie is awesome! I'm thinking "screw mission impossible, 3 days where it's at."

Yes, it is a superbly done film story . . .

I envy you. I remember my first time seeing Condor. I eventually got into RP writing because of it.

If you were observing this nutty planet, would YOU want to make contact?

reply

it is one of the best movies out there and I have seen it at least 30 times or more and still love it. for me if I need something to watch I put it in and am entertained by it still. one movie I would recommend to anyone to see.

reply

Yes, I'm the same way . . . I don't even bother to count the times I've seen it . . . it's beyond all that . . . and I'm still discovering new things about the story . . .

reply

same here on finding new things in it. in fact I just watched it earlier this afternoon

After getting a new DVD player Condor was the first film I watched . . . there's always something I want to go over, watch again . . . it's all so well done . . .

I totally agree! "3 Days of the Condor" was my 1st blu-ray purchase, so now I can use my DVD copy to both recommend and loan it out to others. It also was streaming on Netflix for awhile. However, nothing beats watching the movie with a 1st timer. Everybody is always so grateful for the experience.

Watching it now. Wish there was a commentary by Pollak and Redford. No Bonus Features at all. Hearing more about a great film, really adds to my enjoyment. Disappointing no background info or comments.

Seems like, since dvds could be only record of a movie ever, that some details should be included. I don't understand why all better movies, don't come with some Bonus Features?

reply

Yes. This movie is prescient in that all the things the rogue CIA agents plotted to do in the Middle East, is really bein done right now. Destabilized regimes and oil grabs.
