Stay Hungry

Bob Rafelson may not be one of the most immediately recognizable names to come out of the 1970's, but he was responsible for some of the decade's quintessential films like, Five Easy Pieces and Easy Rider, the latter of which he produced. And Stay Hungry isn't even one of Rafelson's most instantly recognizable films. It stars Jeff Bridges and Sally Field, but it will probably always be remembered as the screen debut of this really interesting Austrian body builder, perhaps you've heard of him, his name is Arnold Schwarzenegger. No? Doesn't ring a bell? It's an enjoyable film with no real plot to speak of, but some very interesting and amusing characters. It's worth it just to see bunch of body builders running half-naked through the streets of Birmingham, Alabama (not in a gay way) or to see Schwarzenegger playing the fiddle in a blue-grass band.
