The Traveling Executioner
(1970)In 38 seconds he'll send you on your way to the Fields of Ambrosia, sizzling; like a piece of Bacon. Stacy Keach electrifies in this starling black comedy about an itinerant electrocutioner. It's 1918, and Jonas Candide travels the South with a portable electric chair. Offering up his services to various authorities at a price of $100 a jolt, the ex-Carney tends to his charges with his own brand of tender loving care. Dispensing his own philosophy and consolation, he assures the prisoners that the Fields of Ambrosia await them on the other side of their ordeal. And then he throws the switch. Jonas' life of lethal loquacity becomes undone after he is contracted to bring his ministrations to a pair of siblings and he finds himself drawn to one of them. Bud Cort also excels in this too rarely seen dark jewel of a film, playing Jonas' bumbling assistant.

Misery
(1990)After his car crashes in the mountains during a snowstorm, a famous novelist is held in captivity by the dangerously unbalanced fan who “rescued” him.

Carpool
(1983)In this comedy set in the no-so-distant future, carpool members are selected by a computer, and the film centers upon Harvey Korman, Peter Scolari, T.K. Carter and Stephanie Faracy as four commuters thrown together in a carpool. Everything is routine…until a million dollars falls from an armored car into their hands. But ex-cop Ernest Borgnine has his eyes on the loot as well, and the chase is on.

Last of the Dogmen
(1995)A bounty hunter haunted by the past is hired to track down three escaped convicts and is set off in search of an impossible mystery-a tribe they believe cannot exist, massacred over 100 years ago.
