Charley Varrick (1973)

 

Directed by Don Siegel. Walter Matthau. Bank heist gone wrong. Joe Don Baker. One of the earliest crime films I taped on VHS. The late movie. With The Hot Rock, Murder by Death, My Name is Nobody. My dumb luck that the cheapest station in town had a very nice late night package. Destination Moon, Carnival of Souls. I still have all of those tapes. By coincidence that was right when I started taping X-Files. So it will Charley Varrick with an early season one X-Files.

When I did Sunday movie one summer with a dozen of my favorites, this was one. Mostly crime films.
