Gonna cheat and put Homicide: the Movie (even though it was for TV) just because that is one of my favourite shows of all time.

Otherwise I would probably pick Alien > Live and Let Die > The Running Man

Live and Let Die

How was it working on “Midnight Run” with Robert DeNiro?

That was another difficult shoot. DeNiro is very spontaneous and it always helps to work with an artist like that. But Marty Brest! “Herr Director” shot so many takes of the scenes that I lost all joy in doing the film. It became hard and tedious work. Then he stopped eating during the shoot and became thinner and thinner each day, until he looked like a ghost behind the camera. When I met Marty at the Universal studio with DeNiro, he looked healthy and strong, but as filming went on, he began to turn into someone you’d see in Dachau. It was weird. I got sick and for the whole of the film I had a fever and was under the weather for most of it… I was shocked when it came off so funny… It sure wasn’t funny making it.

Fuck yall for not showing any respect to Freddy's Dead

 

[Bobby Boulders]

Agree with @Joseph Budden. It's Freddy's Dead by a wide margin.

 

[Peteyandjia]

One of the most underrated movies eva

 

[Screwtape]

I've seen a lot of his movies but it's been too long to remember well enough to pick one role.
