Joe (1970) - ovo je jedan od najnepredvidljivjih filmova koje sam pogledao. Film je nevjerpjatno aktualan i danas ako malo bolje promotrimo. Cijela ta društvena situacija s kojom se film bavi različite generacije nevjerojatno se dobro uklapa i danas. Peter Boyle je jednostavno odličan. On glumi ratnog veterana iz vijetnama, ali njega tek upoznajemo oko dvadesete minuta filma, a prije toga pratimo dva narkića, curu i dečka. Curu glumi prekrasna mlada Susan Surandon. Ah, te oči. Ona ima oca koji ju posjeti u bolnici kad se predozira i ide posjetiti tog njezinog dečka kojeg smatra krivim. Tu sve počinje. Kako se uklapa lik od Petera Boylea ovdje? Pa njih dvoje se sasvim slučajno upoznaju i stvaraju totalno neobičan odnos, ali postanu veliki prijatelji. Boyleov lik dolazi iz radničke klase, a otac od Sarandon dolazi kao bogataš. Tu film postaje pomalo neugodan za gledanje i kraj, kakav kraj
kad poubijaju sve te hipije u vikendici i još slučajno s leđa ubije svoju kćer

Film ima mana, ali je toliko društveno jak i važan film. Jedna zanimljiva trivija.
"When Peter Boyle saw audience members cheering the violence in Joe, he refused to appear in any other film or television show that glorified violence. This included the role of Jimmy "Popeye" Doyle in The French Connection (1971). The role would earn Gene Hackman the Oscar for Best Actor. Boyle nevertheless played a ruthless gangster four years later in Crazy Joe and also appeared in the violent drama Taxi Driver."
