	I just got back from seeing Blue Thunder.  This is probably the
	most exciting (edge of the seat, sweaty palms rapid heart beat
	etc.) film I have ever seen.

	The plot is thin and the film is full of implausibilities
	but Roy Scheider's performance and the helicopter flying make
	you ignore the implausibilities even as you recognise them.

	The first third of the film is a tad slow in parts but once the
	action starts it is superb.  The helicopter flying is truly
	amazing.  It is just like the famous scene at the end of
	Star Wars where the rebels are bombing the Battle Station,
	except that these are REAL helicopters flying between real
	buildings and under real bridges.

	I am going to see RotJ tomorrow night so I will be able to
	good comparison of the relative excitement of the 2 films.
	Watch this space.  In the meantime go and see Blue Thunder.
