Silver Streak (DVD, 2004)

One of those movies that you would always love to see playing on some cable station on a rainy day. And one of those movies that once you had seen it would ALWAYS stop when channel surfing and watch no matter where it was in the story. Rated PG but don't let that throw you. Certainly not a kid/teen movie. In fact refreshing to see a movie made so well that got by just fine without endless profanity. OK, so I was a little disappointed that they didn't show more of Jill Clayburgh back then but the quality of the movie more than makes up for that.

Best of all this was some of the greatest screen interaction of Wilder/Pryor ever. They play off each other just incredibly in this movie. And unlike Stir Crazy it doesn't fall apart and go in some strange direction half way through. If you like good comedy, good 70's comedy, wilder/pryor, etc. this is a MUST-HAVE for your collection.

A FEW FLAWS?

OK, maybe it runs a tad on the long side at almost 2 hours, especially if you are used to many of today's 90 minute quickies

A few minor plot holes maybe but nothing gaping that you see in osme movies that takes a huge leap, none of that here.

Honestly I can't see why anyone would not like this movie. Delivered to your door for under 10 bucks in just a few days from a decent seller. One word of advice? Stick with the seller with the HIGHEST FEEDBACK even at a cost of a few extra dollars. having gone the cheap route once, I won't do it again. Reward high feedback with your business. and BTW, 98% is not high as that comes out to one negative for every 50 sales. way too high for me

I had an old beat up self-taped one I would watch that was getting worse and finally bought this on DVD.
