Love Steve McQueen! What a life he led, facinating!

I'll be watching this wearing my Steve McQueen hat

 

[Steve Williams]

Probably because of him and his cancer that the world heard about a new chemotherapy called Laetrile or Vitamin B17 made from apricot pits

Remember seeing it in Cinerama and multichannel when it was originally released, the wonderful movie and the powerful visual/sonic experience is still etched in my memory, a stark contrast to horrible THX and crappy multiplex screens of today...

Is this a re-release of an older documentary then?

Looks like a new Steve McQueen documentary with the movie "LeMans" as central theme or starting point.

I think it was made by his son

Well he didn't make many and I too loved that movie but for me the best was Bullitt. IMO that car chase in hilly San Francisco has never been beaten. I do feel the car chase in The French Connection came darn close

Bullit and The Getaway, fantastic movies! I also loved Papillon and The Sand Pebbles.

How many of you saw The Blob? I did

I didn't see it and by the looks of this trailer, I don't think I missed much. It looks terrible;

 

[Steve Williams]

The song to the movie played by the Five Blobs, needless to say they were a One Trick Pony

 

[Ronm1]

How many of you saw The Blob? I did

Yup

 

[Steve Williams]

Yup

Ron, that must really date you and I. I remember the movie vividly as well as the theme song which I still know until today

 

[Ronm1]

I actually saw it when it was released. Went with buds we were all horror fans at the time. 69 on 10/31

I think that the one in TFC was even better, but pretty close.

I'm looking forward to this. My fave. Steve McQueen film will probably always be The Great Escape, though.

 

[Ronm1]

I still have Thomas Crown as my favorite. Specifically cause one was not used to seeing him play that type of character. Course the multi-frame and music didn't hurt.
