But they really loved Jim Sullivan at the Raft in Malibu; he packed the place night after night and was able to rub elbows with Hollywood figures like Farrah Fawcett-Majors, Lee Majors, Lee Marvin, Harry Dean Stanton, and Vic Morrow.

Repo Man (1984) – not at all the same movie as the rather odious Repo Men – would be my current candidate for the “greatest movie ever made” (as I have been telling Peggy for the past year) that I never get tired of watching. The story is a wicked mixture of science fiction, action movie, and sight gags, with a wild array of mostly unknown character actors, and Harry Dean Stanton and Emilio Estevez as the stars.
