ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK (1981) - Nov. 30, 2005 (Second Viewing)
Kurt Russell is pretty much the ultimate badass as Snake Plissken, a man who's called in to rescue the president when Air Force One crashes in New York (which has been turned into a gigantic prison). Dark and gritty, it doesn't really feel as dated as most older movies that take place in the future. It's really fast paced, and features some memorable supporting performances from people like Lee Van Cleef and Ernest Borgnine. John Carpenter needs to direct more. ***1/2
