Propaganda

Vonetta McGee (The Great Silence)—her debut was in 1968, but her debut has straight up one of the most tender and nicest love scenes I have ever seen in a western. a rare western that is at least neutral about interracial relationships, and even though it’s a tragedy you’re really rooting for her to get her revenge and continue this new love and fucking survive. incredible movie for the hurt/comfort

Jane Birkin (La Piscine)—Jane Birkin propaganda I think is pretty neat: the Birkin bag was named after her, she's the mother of actress Charlotte Gainsbourg, and Agnes Varda devoted a whole documentary to her.

This is round 1 of the tournament. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage woman.

A weathered repo man (Harry Dean Stanton) in a desolate Los Angeles takes a nihilistic middle-class punk (Emilio Estevez) under his wing. The job becomes more than either of them bargained for when they get involved in repossessing a mysterious—and otherworldly—Chevy Malibu with a hefty reward attached to it.

Pre-order Repo Man.
