Check out The Leather Boys, Ipcress File, Boys in Company C (Kubrick’s FMJ inspiration), Entity (a Scorsese fav), Sheila Levine is Dead…, The Boys (1962), During One Night. Hit! is quite good. I’ve called it Rio Bravo meets French Connection.

I’m guessing yes. Eye roll.

I recently created a video essay on John Guillermin for the Blu ray of Bridge at Remagen. Entered into it knowing he had a small army of critical defenders but still skeptical. Exited convinced there was more to him. Rapture (1965) is a masterpiece. Blue Max (1966) is his testament film.

I’ll challenge you here. What have you seen? Kubrick is acknowledged to have stolen from him. Leone prized his Appaloosa above all American westerns. Joe Dante said he thought he was one of directors he thought was “reinventing cinema.” I think you’re misinformed, honestly.

Furie is not a hack. He’s one of the best overlooked filmmakers, with a number of masterpieces to his name. The Leather Boys, Ipcress, Boys in Company C, The Entity, all with identifiable style and thematic preoccupation. There’s a tribute box set with tributes by a very impressive roster of names.
