Duel
How would you like to see that in your rear-view mirror, closing fast at 90 miles an hour? Well that's what Dennis Weaver is faced with in the movie Duel.Duel is the movie Steven Speilberg made a couple of years before he hit it big with Jaws. It was a made-for-tv movie that came out in the seventies, so it's a bit dated but not in its classic tale of David and Goliath.
Dennis Weaver is a businessman taking a normal business trip in his car. He happens to pass a huge semi and whoa, do things get nasty after that!
The rest of the movie is a thrill ride of Weaver trying his best to stay alive as the trucker is hell-bent on making sure he doesn't.
I watched this over the weekend and I never cease to enjoy it. If you get a chance, check it out!

OMG, I remember that movie!
I hate it when those big trucks pass me by on the road. They scare me.
The second picture is great - and I love the tag line. I'll try to check this out when I get back to school. Looks like fun. :D Have a wonderful Thursday!
It's a great movie, isn't it, Susan. :) And it's fun watching an early Speilberg movie. He was accomplished as a director even at that young age!
I agree, Tempest, those trucks do scare me. But I'm sure the majority of truckers are careful drivers. At least I hope so. That's a lot vehicle they're hauling!
Definitely give it a looksee, Bri. I think you'll enjoy it.
