Lonely Are the Brave

If you've seen this, what do you think it means to you? I'd love to discuss this movie. Kirk Douglas' favorite movie. And Gena Rowlands, who I think is the greatest.

And in retrospect, what do you think of modern society, and the loss of freedom?

Also, if you know of any similar movies with quality, preferably between 1930-70s, I (and perhaps many others) would appreciate it.

"'Cause I'm a loner clear down deep to my guts. Know what a loner is? He's a born cripple. He's a cripple because the only person he can live with is himself. It's his life, the way he wants to live. It's all for him. A guy like that, he'd kill a woman like you. Because he couldn't love you, not the way you are loved."

I always thought Ace In The Hole or Paths of Glory were his best performances

I actually like "Ace In The Hole" more :)

That's interesting to know. It's actually one of my old favorites of his. I rewatched it earlier this year.
