Time After Time is a rip-roarin’ good time, McDowell plays HG Wells, who uses his time machine to go to San Francisco in the late-70s, in pursuit of Jack The Ripper (the always excellent David Warner)!
Some people say O Lucky! Man is a very good film, but I haven’t seen it yet, and the three hours runtime sounds a bit daunting.
Then both Cat People and Blue Thunder are fine films. But it does seem that after the early 80s, most of his roles are simple “paycheck jobs”, not for any sort of artistic statement.
Which is a shame, as McDowell has always been a considerable screen talent and presence.
