Such an amazing film - no fans?!?!


This movie is so awesome. I'm so disappointed there is hardly any posts here, and no trivia. This film is hot! Jodie Foster was quite the nymphet, wasn't she? Great storyline, great characters...This film is underrated, underappreciated gold. Where are the fans?!

It looks good from the clips I have seen.

I'm a fan! Have been for a few years, actually.

I like it, but it looks like I'm in the minority. Carny was one of my earliest movie memories, back when I'd sneak in some HBO viewings late at night after mom and dad had hit the sack.

I recently bought an old copy off eBay (I wish it was on DVD.. I had to buy VHS) because I'm a HUGE Jodie Foster fan. I'm excited to see it- it looks interesting and weird.

I want to change the system from within the system. - Jodie Foster

I also love this movie -- looks like I might have to find a copy on ebay too. This gem is so hard to find. Robbie Robertson and Gary Busey are perfect in their roles. I love Robbie's sleepy eyed coolness and Gary's scenes in the "cage" are the best!

Man, I remember watching only once when I was a kid, and it's been etched in my mind since. Been dying to see it at least once again just so I can remember what the hell it was about! Why isn't it being released on DVD?

Yes, I remember seeing this once in a movie theater in the early 80's and it has stuck with me ever since! One of those films you just don't forget. A couple of days ago I got a chance to see it again on cable and it was every bit as good as aI remembered. Many people mention Jodie Foster as the sexy chick in the movie, but what about Meg Foster with her hypnotic blue eyes! Wow! Sure wish it was available on DVD. I checked, as of this writing, it isn't.

I love it too but it's been a while since I last watched it.
