Rolling Thunder (1977)


Rolling Thunder is a classic 1970's revenge flick and one of the first major roles for Tommy Lee Jones. The screenplay was co-written by Paul Schrader (Taxi Driver , The Yakuza) and Heywood Gould (Fort Apache, The Bronx) from a story by Schrader. Sometimes referred to as a "Grindhouse" movie it actually had more effort put into it than many of the Grindhouse films from the 1970's. In actuality, much of the movie is more of a drama than the typical violence-filled revenge movie. Though a cult classic and a favorite of director Quentin Tarantino, the film only recently became available in the U.S. via the MGM Archive program in 2010. It is scheduled to be released in the U.S.A. on blue-ray in 2013.
