And while we're on the subject of '70s movies and Lucas, let's not
forget my own all-time favorite of his, "THX 1138" (1971).
"American Graffiti" was even better, but I'm a little biased. I grew
up in a small town near Modesto, a couple of years behind Lucas.
Robert Duvall
went on to play tons of great roles after that, but for years I could
only see him as the artificially-grown, hairless, white-suited,
drugged-up, repressed, harried nuclear materials handler in that hellish
underground hive. Wotta great flick.
To me he'll always be Air Cav Col Bill Kilgore, standing at the
water's side, saying:
Kilgore: Smell that? You smell that?
Lance: What?
Kilgore: Napalm, son. Nothing in the world smells like that.
[kneels]
Kilgore: I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time
we had a hill bombed, for 12 hours. When it was all over, I walked up.
We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you
know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory.
Someday this war's gonna end...
[Kilgore unhappily walks off]
Now there was a great '70s flick.
