And in Coppola's The Conversation

A really different role for her too.

One of the best uses of sound in film. Everything Walter Murch does is amazing.

Amazing such a small piece of tape can have such an integral part of such a great movie. Love that one. Coppola made it in between the two Godfather movies. Again, it was a simple idea, but executed brilliantly.

That's a movie people should see too. If only so they get to know who John Cazale was. Every movie he made in the 1970s going forward was always nominated for Best Picture. He really was that good.

Cancer really sucks. Think of he career he could have had.

I could see Cazale doing a variety of roles had he lived. He could have been in several of Scorsese's films and maybe even had a recurring role on 'The Sopranos'.

The entire cast was amazing. And hey, John Cazale was in it also.

And in "Travels With My Aunt" She was so young and might have been her first or one of her first films.

That film is still very watchable. The character interactions were quite good for the time.

Her portrayal of an American teenage girl from the pre-hippie era was spot on.

I was coming into the thread to mention American Graffiti. Ron Howard and Cindy Williams were both excellent in that movie. They both ended up in Happy Days and Laverne & Shirley respectively because they were in the more serious movie before hand.

Most people today remember it as the thing George made before Star Wars. When... well, it was a very serious movie in it's own right. It's more than the movie about high school kids that the rich guy made before Star Wars. In a lot of ways, his career would have been very different if he made more films like it instead of Star Wars.

But if you need a connection to Star Wars to watch it, Harrison Ford was also in America Graffiti, kids. It really is worth a watch.

If you don't mean directed, Lucas created Indiana Jones (Raiders, IMHO, best of them). And Empire Strikes Back was the best Starwars, and thankfully directed by Kershner.

It was a huge success and partly financed his next movie. Where he forgot how to write dialog.

You mean the one that was nominated for an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay?
