Vintage Movie Wallpaper of the Day

Come out tomorrow (Friday) to the Alamo Drafthouse South Lamar in Austin, Texas, to see the original 1979 Mad Max blasted outdoors as part of early Fantastic Fest 2008 events celebrating the upcoming Magnet documentary Not Quite Hollywood (which recently screened at TIFF ‘08 Midnight Madness)! Not Not Quite Hollywood is a wildly entertaining and loving look at Ozploitation cinema. I imagine many people will be like me when watching it and madly writing down titles of films that look great that they never knew about before.

I should definitely credit Lars for setting me off on this quest to re-find this amazing image from one of my all-time favorites, Rolling Thunder. The last time I used my 30+ batch of stills was helping out some of the MadMovies guys for a piece they were doing on Paul Schrader. Unfortunately since that time my collection of collected memorabilia got split up. I’ve now come across the missing portions of my collection and will at last be getting up my entire selection of imagery up here (minus some of the giant sized lobbies I have).

Caption:
ENGINEERED REVENGE–William Devane as Major Charles Rane, a returning POW hero, loses an arm and the lives of his family to a bunch of thieves. Getting a hook to replace his missing member and building himself an arsenal, he sets out on a carefully planned trail of revenge in American International’s taut action-drama, “Rolling Thunder.”
