Nice! I remember enjoying the film. Not quite as strong as Schlesinger’s work in The Marathon Man, which featured an incredible turn by Laurence Olivier, but still a very effective thriller. With the qualifier that I’ve never seen Honky Tonk Freeway or anything after Falcon, I have a definite appreciation for the director’s work.
Okay, on to the next 20:20.

You got it, Nomas! Great job. I was surprised it hadn’t been done yet. Over to you.

I was also surprise this wasn’t on the list. In any case, new 20:20:
That is Kevin Corrigan in Unstoppable!

It is indeed Unstoppable. My kids know this as “the train movie”. I will watch this whenever it is on TV.
40:40
60:60 -
80:80
Congrats @tomchick. You are up.
I love how the 40, 60, and 80 are all frames from Tony Scott rotating the camera around the train’s cockpit. It felt like 90% of the movie was shot that way!
Let me go find another Lynn Shelton movie to post that’s already been posted, so I can follow up with a dopey Adam Sandler movie.

I like Unstoppable, but it’s the second best runaway train movie.

God damn, I love that movie so much! For all the rubbish Canon rushed out in the 1980s, they took a few risks that paid of handsomely, with Runaway Train near the top. I love the scene where Jon Voight angrily tears apart Eric Roberts fantasy about life outside of prison.
In what movie will you see this at the 20:20?
-Tom
Paul Walker and Steve Zahn. Joy Ride?
You bet it’s Joy Ride. The 40:40 is Paul Walker (aka Candy Cane) accosted by a trucker who’s not evil Ted Levine.
How would you like some more Steve Zahn and Paul Walker, but this time with Eyes Wide Shut star Leelee Sobieski? Then the 60:60 is the frame for you!
Finally, how about a completely unhelpful shot of not much at all because the camera is panning up and there’s nothing of note in the frame yet? I present the 80:80.
Over to Joy Ride fan @Navaronegun!

That is a VERY strong descriptor…
Only in America could you find this Twenty:
The Little Bitty Spot scene is amazing, although I am skeptical of Voight’s assertion that an ex-convict who can scrub out a bit of dirt can go on to become president of Chase Manhattan. :)
That kinda looks like Shelley Winters’s profile. Night of the Hunter?
