The Rutherford County Line (1987)
Should've been a TV Series
Really good indie film. True story of an NC sheriff.
Earl Owensby is very believable as the sheriff who runs the county by "Damon's Law" -- passion, justice, soft heart (when necessary), and lots of good ol' common sense. Some GREAT, classic scenes that make it a stand-out among indies.
The film was just begging to be the makings of a pilot for a TV series that would've shot Earl to the REALLY "big" time, if one can say that. Any man who's been profiled on "60 Minutes" and had feature articles written about him in "Esquire", "GQ", and the L.A. Times has made it to the top in my book.
Make more films, Earl. You're not done yet!
Death Driver (1977)
One of the cutest movies I've ever seen!
This is a FUN movie -- really well done for an low-budget, "indie" production.
A true story about a champion stunt car driver who makes a comeback after 10 years off the circuit and his adventures to get back to the old Charlotte Motor Speedway and compete in the "Motor Rodeo."
For me, this is Earl at his best -- free-wheeling, to-die-for cute, good story, fun dialog, well directed and edited. A great little film.
I'm sure this was targeted for guys, but as a female, I adored this, mostly because of that cute ol' Earl! Damn! What a good lookin' guy!
I'm a tough sell, but this will go down as one of my all-time fave movies.
Bless you, Earl. What a guy....
