Every exterior shot in The Taking of Pelham 123 (iafisher.com)

This is such a great time capsule movie. You can smell the cigarette smoke when you watch it. It also has the most perfect ending shot I've ever seen.

One of the best action movies of that era, the 1970s. The actors are all first rate. Here's the IMDB link: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0072251/ for those interested.

I grew up on Walter Matthau movies. He was such an unlikely action hero, but I loved watching him.

Let's also hear it for David Shire's fantastic theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOXD_g0cSpw

This is fairly timely since you'd probably be hard pressed to do the same thing with the new Spider-Man movie, which was apparently shot in Glasgow?

Always amuses me. Great film.
