Hal Ashby directed some amazing films. I would love to be able to have Harold and Maude on this blog, for free, but that film was taken down.
The Last Detail is a movie about two sailors who have to transport another sailor to a detention facility where he will be locked up in solitary confinement for 8 years for stealing $40. The two sailors begin to develop a sense of compassion for the prisoner due to the harsh penalty assessed to him and due to how simple and unassuming this prisoner is. Before he is to be locked up, the two other sailors decide to show him a good time as their only way to express their empathy.
Something funny: While watching the film I realized Gilda Radner is in one scene between the 58 and 60 minute marks. She plays a member of a religious cult that chants nam me oh ho renge kyo. These nam meoho renge kyo folks are still in this city and still bugging folks to chant, chant and chant some more! The more things change the more they stay the same.
Jack Nicholson and Randy Quaid are in this film. This film was also recommended by Misi.
