“Does this guy ever quit?”. In relation to the speed of the film, and the way the story is presented with an ever increasing suspense/action, The Fugitive reminds me of Billy Friedkin's films, The French Contact and The Exorcist (and maybe To Live and Die in L.A.), they are films that simply do not let you breathe, and you leave the theater with the certainty that you have just lived a unique experience.
I don't even mind paying on demand to stream a film. It's annoying and economically baffling when you can't stream a film even if you have your credit card in hand, ready to pay.
Last weekend I tried to find To Live and Die in L.A. -- from the 1980s but hardly obscure. I couldn't find it legitimately available to stream anywhere, for any amount of money.
I even tried Kanopy, which has been my go-to source for films I can't find on paid streaming services, but they didn't have it either.
