Well, I love Schrader and his moralistic style, to begin with. But anyway, Blue Collar has held up pretty well through the years, despite the changing face of the American workplace. It's a great movie, an American classic. ...

This is as real as real can get far as life on the assembly line in the Motor City went. Richard, Yaphett and Harvey along with the other actors in this movie did a superb job portraying the blue collar working men inside of the factory plants. The way ...

A devastating, and great film, unfortunately more discussed than seen or known at this late date.
BLUE COLLAR is celebrated for a number of reasons - the casting is inspired, subverting a standard Hollywood racial casting formula, and director/writer ...

This film is brilliant and if you can't wait for it to be re-released as a region 1 DVD, I suggest you buy the region 2 version from Amazon's British website. As long as your DVD player is multi-region and your television can accept a PAL signal you ...

"Blue Collar" is one of the great underrated American films of the 1970s. It tells the story of three desperate, powerless men who work in a Detroit auto plant. When they're not being suppressed by their soulless company, they're being duped by their ...

This 1978 underrated classic is about three autoworkers. There's an honest and gritty realism to this story and the four-letter words and curses have a ring of authenticity to them, especially those of Richard Pryor whose foul language has been compared ...
This movie is an under-rated work of art. If nothing else, it reveals what a powerful dramatic actor Richard Pryor was. He's incredibly realistic and human ...
