Old movies you've only seen recently...
"Deadlock" (Roland Klick, 1970): Strange little "The Good, The Bad And The Ugly"-like curio from Germany with Marquard Bohm, Anthony Dawson and Mario Adorf bearing the likenesses to The Man With No Name, Angel Eyes and Tuco, respectively. Three guys in an abandoned desert mining town fight over a suitcase full of cash. The character dynamic of "I wanted to kill this guy, but I had a change of heart" to "let's work together and kill this guy" and back again is repeated numerous times until the intense climax. Of course, this is not as epic as its obvious inspiration but worth a look. The primary reason this was saved from the dustbin of complete obscurity is the soundtrack by Can. It was screened locally on Monday night and is available on DVD, but it can be seen for free online. However, you will have to put up with the commercials on Tubi, the Russian voiceover following the English dialogue on YouTube or even the entire film in reverse (why?!?) also on YT.

Recent Finds
Some from the past two weeks:
-
"Say What" cut from "Run's House"
"L.A. Bound" is pretty easy to find, at least here, and underrated. "The King Arrives" is really good too. I've never been able to find the private press one with the monochrome cover.

I WANT YOU MF's TO SEE SOMETHIN
Interesting half hour documentary about the formerly lost but now, albeit very rarely screened, found 'Countdown At Kusini' / 'Cool Red' which is best known for the Manu Dibango soundtrack.
(Edit: YouTube doesn't seem to allow external embedding for this one, so search for "KUSINI Concept New 30 Min Version")
Check out 11:22. She has a sealed OG and the shirt!
