My favourite bit of that film is where Tuco meets his priest brother. They cut the scene out sometimes when it is shown on TV. Can't recall the exact dialogue but Tuco says something like 'where we grew up there was only two ways out: Priest or Bandit. My way was harder!'

Watched a weird early 70s SciFi film earlier today, one of Peter Fonda's very early directorial efforts. Low budget but quiet well done within the restrictions of said budget but there is no joy in this film, it is a grey cloudy day and the end is a real shocker.

Its called the Idaho Transfer and is about time travel into the near future to escape a world wide disaster, the nature of which is never revealed. The research project is to be terminated but a small group of twenty something's (only the young can take the transfer process) try to survive within this bleak, cold alien future.

Interesting film and worth a watch.

I found it on the Alien Invasion channel (Within the Horror section) on Filmon Tv http://www.filmon.com/tv/live

Just found it here too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xsf5RAwd1Ds

I don't know that one. Sounds interesting. I like bleak movies. 'On the Beach' and 'Arlington Road' spring to mind. Arlington Road is a favourite of mine, with Jeff Bridges and Tim Robbins absolutely convincing. Nice brooding sense of doom about this film. Poor old Bridges, starting off badly and having his world turned upside down, with things getting catastrophically worse and leading to total, spectacular disaster at the end. Wow! Great stuff!

Robbins was also great in the tragic horror movie 'Jacob's Ladder'. That ends badly too!

Now Ice Age 1 ...not seen it for a while and one of my fav's
