Sorcerer (1977 William Friedkin/Roy Scheider/Tangerine Dream)

Sorcerer — 1977 William Friedkin’s Sorcerer is a slow-burn descent into madness and mud — a masterpiece of tension, sweat, and existential dread. A remake of The Wages of Fear, it follows four desperate men hauling nitroglycerin through the jungle, each blast of dynamite echoing their own self-destruction. Misunderstood on release but now revered as one of the boldest films of the ’70s, it’s a fever dream of fatalism — pure, combustible cinema.
