Charles Bronson, even at this early stage, still looked craggy!

My all time favorite film, which I try to watch at least 1-2 times a year. This time, was reminded of when I went with my roommate in college. NAPS (his initials and an activity he engaged in) was an Exchange student from Caracas, Venezuela and when watching THAT 70'S SHOW, amazed at how much FES was like him, although NAPS was more lucid. Living with him and "Lefty", our other roommate probably resulted in more laughing/fun than I had previously experienced (For the record, for whatever reason, I was "Slats").
NAPS and I saw a lot of films, particularly F13, which scared him out of his wits...when You realize the killer is outside the cabin, the final battle had him curled up in his seat At the finale, when Alice has survived, the lovely photography, the soothing music, the arrival of the police etc had him all relaxed until the "Boo!" which resulted in popcorn flying through the air
!
We tried to see NOTLD at a local university, but drunken frat boys made it impossible to enjoy it
. A few months later tried again, in an area that wasn't the nicest part of town. NAPS had enjoyed DAWN OF THE DEAD very much, but maybe the gritty filmstock and the overall tone of NOTLDwas more conducive to dread. He jumped a few times and during the cannibal scene, he was grossed out and at one point, I heard him draw in his breath and exclaim "Oh, Sheet! The LEEVER!"
Still smile when thinking about it.
NAPS
, a salute to You and also a big one for NIGHT and its talented cast/crew; the ones I've met from the film were nothing but nice, making me enjoy the film even more. *****
