The Getaway
Steve McQueen romances Ali MacGraw out from underneath b.f. Robert Evans’ watchful eye. We at TFH aren’t against remakes–some of our favorite movies are remakes– but the 1992 redo of Walter Hill’s screenplay from a Jim Thompson novel found it hard to top this 1972 original. One of director Sam Peckinpah’s smoothest (and some say most impersonal) productions, this is still a darn good thriller.
