Badlands (Terrance Malick, 1973)

8.5/10
Beautifully filmed and just the kind of story I'm drawn to (rebel/s without a cause, road movie, coming of age, etc). Martin Sheen is fantastic and Sissy Spacek is also very good. This is a movie that deserves a better fate because it seems to have gotten marginalized over the years. We can start by upgrading the pathetic no-frills DVD it's available on. Criterion??
