Rollerball was a quality film.
The Way of the Gun was superb too.

James Caan was a Jew. Looked and played a good Italian American. RIP, Sonny Corleone.

probably watched Rollerball more than any other film as a kid apart from The Wanderers/Warriors. can't think of anyone else playing Johnathan E, also loved Freebie & The Bean

Shame great actor. Good shout Mike I can remember watching Freebie and the Bean when I was a kid and loved it. must see if it's on a platform somewhere. Have to say he was good in everything he was in ev3en a cameo like A Bridge Too Far and Misery was a fabulous film. RIP Mr Caan.

Was originally up for the part of Michael but Francis Ford Coppola insisted on Pacino.
Good as Jimmy Caan just perfect as Sonny

Rollerball
Back when America churned out vast quantities of films that should have been shit, but were and are absolute classics.
Love that film, but no idea why really. Liked Caan, he was excellent in pretty much everything I've seen him in.

He’s great in Thief which is maybe the best Michael Mann film.
Also brilliant in Misery, only just watched The Yards at the weekend where he plays opposite Marky Mark in a NY based crime film.
There were rumours he killed a guy in a mob related hit in the 90s, was meant to have been connected.

Bimey, just this week I watched Thief for the first time, had never even heard of it but was reading about Heat and I saw it mentioned, downloaded and viewed.
Misery a good shout, fantastic film. His Godfather role was the big one though, his character Sonny was an unhinged, nasty cunt, yes he was mafia but even so, didn't he beat the wife up?
RIP

I thought that Sonny beat up his brother in law who beat up Sonny's sister.
The Gambler from 1974 is a great film also. Much better than the awful Mark Wahlberg remake.

Nags, yea my bad.
I've seen the Wahlberg remake, and indeed it was fucking awful. Not seen the original.
