Marathon man (1976) is about a history student (Dustin Hoffman) who gets caught in a conspiracy of some sort involving Nazis and secret agents and diamonds.
I love the way the film is shot, very sharp and glarey. I love that old sound of people breathing and foot steps, and you can obviously tell it's all added (poorly) later. It's acted really well. The strange edits and close ups are interesting. The action is odd, seeming to be by someone who's never done action before.
In the opening scene theres a car chase. It's one of the coolest car chases i've seen. Those huge 70's hoopties raging threw New York are scary.
Very cool movie. I suggest watching it if you're okay with no having a clue what's going on for about an hour into the movie.
