Just watched The Day of the Jackal (original 70s version, on UK Netflix).
Never watched it from start to finish before.

What a great film.
I was struck that Fox looked like a prototype for Bowie as TJ Newton & the 83 Bowie.

From the wiki article...:

<I wasn't prepared for how good it really is: it's not just a suspense classic, but a beautifully executed example of filmmaking. It's put together like a fine watch. The screenplay meticulously assembles an incredible array of material, and then Zinnemann choreographs it so that the story—complicated as it is—unfolds in almost documentary starkness.>>
