Let it Ride

[Dixon Carter Lee]

"Let it Ride" with Richard Dreyfuss is one of those great movies only eleven people have ever seen. I have to rent it at least once a year. Just rented it again this weekend. What a great, great movie.

Ever see it?

 

[Cerberus666]

No, where i'm from Let it Ride is played in casinos. but if it is good enough to rent once a year maybe ill check it out.

I really like that movie too. But why rent it? It seems to be on cable quite often.

Well written, well acted fantasy about a loser's perfect day at the track. It's worth it just for Robbie Coltrane as the 50 Dollar Ticket Window Clerk.

Robby Coltrane definitely adds the right touch to a movie. Many people think "Nuns on the Run" is a stupid movie, but Robby Coltrane makes that movie great.

I rarely see it played on cable. I loved that movie. I'm a huge Richard Dryfuss fan to begin with.

It's an urge thing. One day I wake up and say, "Time to see it". I get the same way about "The Maltese Falcon", "The Third Man", "The Godfather", etc.

I really should buy movies.

Robbie Coltrane is very underrated. I loved him in Nuns on the Run, but became a big Cracker fan too.

That is a GREAT movie, definitely in my personal top ten. Everyone in the cast gives a great funny performance, and it was brilliantly cast. My favorite bit player was Robbie Coltrane, who played the ticket seller.

I love that movie. But...I'm blocked on the title of that great old horse racing song they used in the soundtrack...

It's called "Fugue For Tinhorns" from "Guys and Dolls".
