Rollercoaster (1977) gets lumped into the disaster movie genre but it's really a suspense thriller, and a very good and very exciting one. It's about a brilliant evil extortionist who targets amusement parks, especially the rollercoasters.

OK... I managed to change my sheets, do my dishes, do a 30 min. HIIT exercise and prepare lunch and dinner. In between, I did nothing except watch movies. If you haven't watched #NurembergTrials, YOU NEED TO!!! So old but so apropos for today. All the "both sides" rhetoric... G-a-w-d! Great actors, #SpencerTracy, #MarlenaDietrich, #RichardWidmark, #BurtLancaster, #WilliamShatner and #MrsOlsen from the TV coffee ads and the actor who played #ColonelKilnk!
