Hard Times is pretty awesome. It landed in my top 10 favorite sports films when I wrote it up for this thread. Thanks to whoever recommended it (Torgo, I think).

Let's just hope Thief also finds it podcast-worthy.

Could you extend it for five more seconds? I want to make sure I have enough time to finish it.

Raul is putting the pressure on us...
Anyway, I'll see if I can post my Hard Times review later today. Meanwhile...
My options for today are either La Dolce Vita, The Secret in Their Eyes, or The Day of the Jackal. One of those will go down... TONIGHT! [cue fanfare]

BTW, what happens if one participant doesn't see all the films? Does he/she get eliminated, and therefore his/her film?

If it's one or two films the deadline typically gets pushed back till they finish. If not they are out as is the film

Raul sounds pretty serious about not extending the deadline.
He doesn't have the balls to set a hard limit...not in these
Hard Times (1975)
Well this was a nice little noir period piece. Hard Times tells the story of gambling and boxing during the depression era. It has a certain Peckinpah quality to it. Apparently Hill wanted someone young for the lead role...boy I'm glad he was talked out of that one because Bronson is fantastic in this. Bronson is 52 at this point...looks fantastic and adds a depth and quality to the fight scenes.
James Coburn is the costar and it's nice to see him as a wormy type fellow. If you can't get Lee Marvin grab James Coburn and he'll do in a pinch. What I love about this film is that it's a solid period piece. This is a movie that moves from set piece to set piece and feels like the 30's
I don't know if I'm going to score this highly but it was a fun watch.

Seriously, though... I still have 4 films to watch, but considering I've already seen 2 of them, I guess it's as good a time as any to say that this has been a really great batch of films you've all recommended. It's my first HOF here and it has been a real joy. I'm already puzzling over how the hell I will rank 3 or 4 at the top. Thanks to everybody.
