Rampart (2011) - IMDb
Thanks -I did read that a lot of this stuff is based on reality, although I really do find it hard to believe that a man who has been beaten to a pulp and had his head thrown through a window can still leap four storeys onto a car, etc etc. And since Ellroy was on this one if I can find it I will watch it.
Dino -will look out for the van Cleef film; he was a natural for westerns.

The Big Gundown is out of print here. Let me know if you need help finding a good copy in your format. You want the uncut version. I got mine on eBay from a guy who does restoration on Spaghetti Westerns. It was a bootleg but a good one and all that is/was available.

The Road... what a depressing film that was, though nowhere near as bleak as the book on which is was based

Haven't read the book, Prospero, but the movie was one of the darkest I have ever seen...

The Road is by Cormac McCarthy. Trish uses a line from one of his others - "Blood Meridian -The Evening Redness in The West" - on her signature. That book was, in its own way, even bleaker about humanity. A cheery writer.
The difference between the film and the book of The Road - as i recall - is that the film leaves the tiniest glimmer of hope at the end. The book does not.

"Lockdown" with Guy Pearce...don't waste your time...better off just staring at a blank wall.
