Ranking my favorite characters Marcelino Sánchez has played [that I know of]
1. REMBRANDTTTT!!! [The Warriors, 1979] He's the best ok, just the best
2. Ricardo [Bloodhound Gang, 1980-1985] He's a very fun character in this show, plus he's silly :)
3. Manuel/Jesse [CBS Schoolbreak Specials, 1985] I put these two in the same spot cause they're from the same thing, but I do prefer Manuel from "Student Court" as he is a very sweet character who manages to help solve the problem of the special. Then Jesse from "The War Between Classes" after cause while he's also a great character he sadly doesn't get as big of a role in the story as Manuel
4. Ramon [CHiPs S5 E14, 1982] Sadly there isn't a lot known about his character from CHiPs as he isn't in it for long, but from what we see his character just seems really chill, plus he's part of a gang so I gotta give it points for the unintentional Warriors ref
5. one of the Fiddlers three [Big Apple Birthday, 1978] HE'S SO SILLY IN THIS I LOVE HIM!! He doesn't have any speaking or major roles in the film but his dance moves are spot ON like, get it gay boy
6. Parking Lot Attendant [48 hrs, 1982] I don't have too much to say about him since he's only there for a minute but he seems like a cool guy, plus Rembrandt, Luther, and Ajax reuinionnn!!!
7. Paco Sanchez [Death Penalty, 1980] I only saw this film once as its not really my thing so I don't remember much, but I do like how Paco tries to defend his friend in this, he also seems like a very sweet character :)
8. All his roles in "Hill Street Blues" [1981, 1981, 1984] This is also something I didn't care too much for, but I liked all his parts! I dont remember them very well tho lol
There's funnier and trashier paraphrase of this film's narrative arc, with Madonna in the lead role (and it's the only role of hers that I enjoy so so much). I remember my brother liking this film many years ago, while I was never interested in watching it. There's interesting grit to its story and cinematography, courtesy of legendary Walter Hill, who's also outside my interests. In the midst of the sexist plotting, it also has O'Toole in a thankless but not graceless role: she's assertive about Nolte's obviously being a shitty partner, and she looks amazing. My queer-gay heart beats harder when seeing Remar though: I didn't realize it was him until I checked. I also didn't know he was in Cruising, another gender- and sex-problematic film of the early 1980s.
Last weekend the UCSC film major department hosted a festival where students had to make a film within 48 hours. The required prop was a key and the required dialogue line was "I would prefer not to" (don't tell anyone that I was technically an alumni).
My mission to watch 80 classic 80s movies continues with the action, comedy classic 48 Hrs. I enjoyed this re-watch more than I thought I would. Yep, it is showing its age, it's a real fun watch though.
