SPR is constantly on television, it's still a popular film. JP is a great movie from top to bottom, it's more than special effects. It wouldn't be popular 25 years later if it were just about the fx that you see in every film now. Can't remember the last time I heard anyone mention Duel. SPR is promoted--that is different from the audience talking about it. Even when JP came out, I remember Gene Siskel saying it was being compared to Jaws but the characters in Jaws were much better. One could pick apart the dialogue and characterization in JP. Take away the FX and there is not much to recommend. A guy babysitting bratty kids, people discussing computer code or eating ice cream. If you go to committed movie boards-movie collector sites--you are more likely to see people mention DUEL or JAWS as his best work. |
