I think I've seen this movie about 30 times. I first saw it as a small kid and it freaked me out. Fantastic cinematography and soundtrack. Now I want to watch it again!

I'm remember seeing it for the first time as a kid when staying at my aunt and uncles. Scared the crap out of me.

It scared me as well. I watched it when that sacrificial Valiant was a brand new car. Even mom was riveted when she walked in. It was the feeling of being out of control and helpless.

 

Did you know that "Grebleips" Pest Control is "Spielberg" spelt backwards?

I have loved this film since i first saw it in 1971 as a punk 14 year old. Could not begin to imagine how many times i have seen it on TV, Beta tape, VHS tape and DVD disc's. I have two copies on DVD including the special anniversary edition. I never get tired of watching this amazing film. There is another scene where the image of Spielberg is caught in reflection. The scene where Weaver is trying to call the cops in a pay booth and the truck is coming towards him. I think i am going to watch this right now. Cheers.

I saw it back in the day (Saturday matinee at The Park Theatre, Cobourg), but I haven't seen it since.

I might have to look for it on the internet.

I saw this movie as a kid as well and it scared the bejeebers out of me. This movie Duel, Valley Of the Gwangi, Planet of the Apes, the evil gargoyle movie were my favourites as a kid.
