Another Point of Singularity

Word of explanation: I'm tormented by memories of late night movie watching in my early years. I remember the plot of a movie, and want to see it again, but have no idea what it was called-- I just remember seeing it on an old black and white TV when I was ten. Lately I've been able to find the name of movie memories by posting questions to the right sources.

For instance, I remember a movie that STRONGLY reminded me of RESERVOIR DOGS. A super-criminal hires a bunch of bank robber types who don't know each other, and encourages them to grow beards. They must not EVER mention their names to each other, in case they are caught.

What the heck was this? I saw it in 1972. Answer: DAY OF THE WOLVES, a brilliant done-on-the-cheap caper film filmed in Northern California for almost nothing. I got tipped off in a DVD discussion forum.

Neil:

Does it end with some confrontation where the glasses fall on the
ground and you just.. barely.. ALMOST see an alien in them as he (it)
walks away?



THE LOVE WAR???? Amazing! I've been thinking about that stupid movie for a freaking DECADE, and someone answers this in point-blimfark.

Thank Jeebus there's bigger geeks out there than me!
