Try this flick … “The Day of the Jackal.” Although this film is the gold standard of how a director translates a novel to the big screen, “The Day of the Jackal” is more than just a film for me. It is based on one of my favorite novels and I take time each year on Aug. 25 to “celebrate” “The Day of the Jackal” by having re-read the novel for, well, dozens of times and watched the film almost as many. It’s a personal thing, but I enjoy “The Day of the Jackal.” You will too, if you give it a chance! So, on this day, Tuesday, Aug. 25, 2020, on the 57th anniversary of “The Day of the Jackal,” you should watch the film! Oh, I also have now acquired the Blu-ray copy of the film!
So, I’m doing a sometimes recommendation of a movie or TV show … and they’re all movies or TV shows that I’ve reviewed on this blog.
Here are my “Jackal” links:
