Just picked up the Never Let Go DVD last week. Interesting to see Peter Sellers playing a vicious thug!

The Towering Inferno (1974)
Skyjacked (1972)
The Bridge at Remagen (1969)
The Blue Max (1966)

Saw Towering Inferno and King Kong at the cinema. Sheena gets three stars for Tanya Roberts riding and bouncing about on a zebra, climbing trees, skinny dipping, leaping out of helicopters, swinging thru the jungle, taking her clothes off and just looking spectacularly gorgeous.

Rankings

1)The Towering Inferno (1974)
2)The Blue Max (1966)
3)King Kong (1976)
4)Sheena (1984)
5)The Bridge at Remagen (1969)

Sheena and Inferno for me.


Funny Sheena story. A co-worker and his wife went to see it in the theater. In an early scene, Sheena is riding a zebra. The guy's wife pointed out that it wasn't even a zebra, but a horse with stripes painted on it. His response... "Who's looking at the zebra?"

King Kong (1976) - 3/10

Another one I haven't seen for a long, long time. Score based on very hazy impressions.
