Stacy Keach and Jamie Lee Curtis star in Richard Franklin’s 1981 Australian slasher classic, inspired by Alfred Hitchcock’s Rear Window.

Prioritize:
A great Stacy Keach and equally excellent Jamie Lee Curtis in a film that's mainly about the journey and one car that a truck driver keeps encountering. The escalating tension isn't as great as in Duel, but this film is all the more action-packed, and, above all, it has great lines delivered by the main character and his companion. Australia gets me.
