"Now, get this - we ain't partners, we ain't brothers and we ain't friends - I'm puttin' you down and keepin' you down until Ganz is locked up or dead, and if Ganz gets away, you're gonna be sorry you ever met me!" - Jack Cates

I am beginning my journey through my DVD collection with my number movies, and my favorite one of those is 48 Hrs. - one of the first and one of the best buddy cop movies, it was Eddie Murphy's first film and is still among my top three favorites of his, it also features James Remar as the vicious Albert Ganz - he went on to play Dexter Morgan's father later in his career, which I think is symmetrical - it is a shame they messed up the sequel so badly, when the ending of this movie lent a perfect story for one, but never the less this film stands alone as a 80's classic.

Starting out my 'A' movies with the George Lucas classic, American Graffiti - it launched the careers of Richard Dreyfuss and Harrison Ford, as well as featuring many 70's TV stars, including Ron Howard, Cindy Williams, Mackenzie Phillips and Suzanne Summers, and it was the inspiration for the long running TV series Happy Days, which also starred Howard - the movie also has a killer soundtrack of 50's, early 60's rock tunes with the legendary Wolfman Jack as the DJ - it is a fun, fast paced, nostalgic film - and watching it again makes me wish even more that George Lucas had tried his hand at directing other films in the last forty years besides the Star Wars saga.
