Straw Dogs (1971)

Director: Sam Peckinpah (The Wild Bunch, no other movie I've heard of, much less seen)
Stars: Dustin Hoffman (Marathon Man, Ishtar)
Susan George (literally nothing else I've ever heard of)
YesNoSoso: 1

Pretty awesome story of nerd who gets pushed too far. Dustin Hoffman plays a mathematician looking to escape the war protests of campus-life to get some work done in his new wife's small home town in Great Britain. Tension ensues between the local ruffians, who resent his intellectualism and his wife's flirtations. It may be a little slow in the middle but the asskicking Dustin Hoffman's character delivers in the end is totally worth the wait (not that I have pent up nerd dreams of revenge against bullies or anything). Oh and there's an oft-cited, very famous rape scene.

Fistful of Dynamite (1971)

Director: Sergio Leone (The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, Once Upon a Time in the West [both movies very solid])
Stars: James Coburn (The Magnificent Seven, Snow Dogs)
Rod Steiger (In the Heat of the Night, The Specialist)
YesNoSoso: 2

This barely got a YesNoSoso 2 even with the unacknowledged bias towards Sergio Leone's awesomeness. It is very similar to Leone's Man with No Name Trilogy, except you have to suffer through two great actors doing equally terrible accents and the absence of Clint Eastwood. If you're a Leone fan, check it out, if not, skip it.
