Police Story
Created by ex-cop-turned-acclaimed author Joseph Wambaugh (The Onion Field) Police Story details the lives of LAPD officers in an anthology of realistic and gritty accounts of what it meant to carry a badge in 1970s Los Angeles. The hit series became a major influence of many critically acclaimed shows that followed, including Hill Street Blues, NYPD Blue and Homicide: Life On The Street. Police Story stood apart from its predecessors by presenting a multidimensional, very human portrayal of its protagonists – depicting officers of the law not as blandly implacable sentinels of justice, but as complex individuals capable of great heroism and simple fallibility. From week to week, gripping episodes addressed difficult issues such as police corruption and the stresses and hell that can come with leading a cop's life.

Seven Men from Now 1956
Ex-lawman Ben Stride (Randolph Scott) opens 7 Men From Now with a walk through a rainstorm, entering a cave in which he sees the flicker of firelight. Accepting a cup of coffee from the two men within, he shoots both before they have a chance to draw their pistols and leaving with their horses, he sets out to track down the remaining five men responsible for the theft of $20,000 from a Wells Fargo freight station in Silver Springs and for the death of his wife, who was the clerk on duty at the time of the robbery.

Along the way, he meets John Greer (Walter Reed) and his wife (Gail Russel), who have taking odd jobs as they head west to make a new home in California, as well as Masters (Lee Marvin), who seems to know a lot about the robbery in Silver Springs but who tells Stride that he's all that stands between him and the $20,000 and that he would sure hate to have to kill him over it...

Kamikaze 1989 (1982) DVD9 and Blu-Ray Film Movement, DVD5

Kamikaze 1989 (1982) DVD5
Arthouse film fans will know the name Rainer Werner Fassbinder as one of the great guiding lights of the German new wave in the '70s and '80s. However, he also acted quite a bit throughout those years, mostly in his own films, but occasionally in films by other directors with whom he felt comfortable. His final onscreen performance in Wolf Gremm's Kamikaze '89 may just be the craziest thing Fassbinder ever did as an actor, and that's saying something.

It's a post-apocalyptic film noir set in a future where crime has disappeared, but only because the authorities have found new and exciting ways to explain it away. Fassbinder plays Lieutenant Jansen, a police investigator who is assigned the job of sniffing out the culprit of a bomb threat that is set to destroy The Combine, a centralized media empire that is in charge of all information. As Jansen, perpetually attired in a snappy leopard-print suit that is a couple of sizes too small, gets closer and closer to the truth, he finds out that not only is the truth a moving target, but it also has him firmly in its own sights, making the investigation a race against time.

Director: Wolf Gremm
Cast: Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Gunther Kaufmann, Boy Gobert

Diabolik / Danger: Diabolik (1968) DVD9
Adapted from a popular (and still-ongoing) Italian comic-book series, Danger: Diabolik takes place in a Europe where square authority figures spend a lot of time combating a masked criminal named Diabolik, played with icy cool and a deadly stare by John Phillip Law. A kind of rogue, epicurean Batman, Law lives in an underground lair lushly appointed with the latest mod furnishings: immense his-and-hers showers, an oversized rotating bed, and of course, a curvy partner in crime (Marisa Mell) to fill both.

Diabolik is a master criminal, pulling off one spectacular robbery after another to the endless frustration of the police. Ruthless and amoral, he nonetheless deeply loves Eva, and will risk everything to protect her. As his crimes become ever more spectacular, and the government teeters on the brink of chaos, even organized crime is pressed into service in order to capture the man.
