I saw it when I was 12 or 13, so I have watch it again. It's not a light film. Another one of his I want to see again is "The Stuntman" :

The Stunt Man is a 1980 American film directed by Richard Rush, starring Peter O'Toole, Steve Railsback, and Barbara Hershey.[1] The movie was adapted by Lawrence B. Marcus and Rush from the novel by Paul Brodeur. It tells the story of a young fugitive who hides as a stunt double on the set of an anti-war movie whose charismatic director will do seemingly anything for the sake of his art.

It was nominated for three Academy Awards: Best Actor in a Leading Role (Peter O'Toole), Best Director (Richard Rush), and Best Writing, Screenplay Based on Material from Another Medium. However, due to its limited release, it never earned much attention from US audiences at large.[2] As O'Toole remarked in a DVD audio commentary, "The film wasn't released, it escaped."[3]



(I posted the film "Becket" which I'm about to watch in a few minutes. I forgot that Sir John Gielgud is also in it. These actors consume the characters they play so well that sometimes you don't even know who it is until the last credits roll. This happened to me with Sir Lawrence Olivier in "Nicholas and Alexandra". He's the guy that pulls the trigger on the Tsar and his family. As you've noticed I don't take films lightly, and I consider myself a novice. I used to be called a "film Nazi" by some of my friends. I wish I hadn't listened to them and loosened up my critical eye. I feel as if I need to re-watch the hundreds of films I've seen in my life, with a very serious, critical and aesthetic approach. As an artist, you understand the importance of minute details, the nuances. Movies are fine for popcorn escapism, but Film is an art, an ensemble of all other artistic mediums, from the writing, to the acting, the cinematography, and so on. I don't see it as the "movie business".)
