SHOWNOTES: Look alive, cinephiles! We got another classic flick coming right at ya', and that is the 1968 action thriller Bullitt, directed by Peter Yates and starring the late and great Steve McQueen! This was another pick by our cohost and resident car enthusiast Robert, who is joined by Beau, Ash, and Dakota in discussing the hyper-realistic cinematography, down-to-earth dialogue coupled with masterful performances, and excellent storytelling that selected this film for preservation in the United States National Film Registry on the grounds of being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". We also delve into the car chase scene considered famous in the world of cinema, the use of actual locations in the San Fransisco setting, and of course Mr. Steve McQueen's memorable career and fabulous filmography.
