Some films become part of your life, they provide a vocabulary, inform your life, prevent you from going into business. This is one of the greats. It doesn't have to be defended, No excuses need to be offered. This is a superlative film.
The father of those kids is one of the greatest fathers. He's an every man. Someone we can all relate to.
The pest control hero who wants to get into management. That is a hero indeed, reluctant, but eventually pulls his weight.
The girl at the garage. She is lovely, a little hoarse, but quick-witted and spirited.
The UFO expert is enthused and informed. He is up against it with the local radio audience, but he has right on his side.
The couple that runs the bakery. They don't panic easily. I could taste one of those fritters now.
The car chase. One of the ten best in films.
The villain. Another great. Much better than john Travolta in the Punisher.
The funeral for the cow is a touching surprise in an all-action film.
The evocation of the simple pleasures of country life such as night fishing will always be with me.
The reference to King Lear as a man who takes crazy risks.
