"Extreme Prejudice" & "Southern Comfort" would make my top 3 favourite Walter Hill films. He would easily be one of my favourite filmmakers. Rewatched "Streets of Fire" a month or two back, and enjoyed it a little more than the first time I saw it. Forgot how stylish it looked - rain soaked atmospherics and rockabilly comic noir shades. Basic storyline, but it was fun and Dafoe stood out whenever on screen.

His 70s work; "The Driver", "Hard Times" and "The Warriors" is nothing short than great. I like "48 Hours", but it's not up their with my favourites. "Johnny Handsome" is probably his most under appreciated. "The Long Riders" is another impressive effort especially with that cast.

Hard Times (1975) and The Warriors (1979) are surely among the coolest movies ever made, just perfect entertainment and every one involved did their party so damn good, I am just glad that there still have not been remade, while I guess if one mix The Driver (1978) with Thief (1981), one gets Drive (2011), but that one is a pretty damn solid made "remake" of those mentioned.

I have never seen The Long Riders (1980) but after reading upon the film and taking a closer look of the incredible cast, I must do something about also, so thanks for brining that one up.

Yeah, "Drive" is actually quite good. It surprised me while watching it for the first time how similar it was to "The Driver". Especially the cracking intro.

The clever stroke of having real-life brothers playing the outlaws alone makes "The Long Riders" worth-a-look. I don't know what you'll think of it as a whole, as its tailored more so towards that gritty, lean and raw Hill mindset.
