Genre: Comedy
Director: Vernon Zimmerman
Cast: Alan Arkin, Paul Benedict, Hector Elizondo, Oliver Clark, Charles Durning, Loretta Swit, Ida Lupino, George Raft, Allen Garfield, Barnard Hughes
This film sat on the shelf for 10(!) years before release and is the meandering story of a meandering trucker and the people he runs across during his long-distance hauling. The interesting cast and offbeat story make this watchable.

 A Star Is Born 1976 R, 140 min.
Genre: Drama / Musical / Romance
Director: Frank Pierson
Cast: Barbra Streisand, Kris Kristofferson, Paul Mazursky, Gary Busey, Oliver Clark, Sally Kirkland, Robert Englund, Marta Heflin, Joanne Linville, Venetta Fields, Clydie King, M.G. Kelly
Sometimes remakes just do not capture all that the original movie did, and this version of "A Star Is Born" with Barbra Streisand as Esther and Kris Kristofferson as fading rock star Norman does not measure up to earlier versions. There was an Oscar, however, for Streisand's (and Paul Williams) song, "Evergreen."
