Remember Marathon Man?

[DoBW]

Great movie about nazi evil
from YouTube (rental) description:
Doc Levy (Roy Scheider) is an American secret agent who has been running interference between the US government and escaped Nazi war criminal Szell (Laurence Olivier). Believing that Doc has stolen a valuable cache of gems, Szell emerges from his South American hiding place and heads for New York. Doc has been hard to kill, but Szell finishes him, then kidnaps Doc's in-the-dark brother Babe (Dustin Hoffman). Repeating the phrase "Is it safe?" over and over, Szell, a onetime concentration camp dentist, tries to extract information from Babe by performing sadistic "oral surgery" upon him. Babe, who still doesn't know about the gems, escapes, breaking his own self-imposed rule of nonviolence to defend himself against his pursuers. The fox becomes the hound when Babe overpowers Szell and forces the old man to swallow his valuable diamonds. Marathon Man traces Babe Levy's progression from pacifistic naif to cynical street-smart scrapper.
,also starring William Devane, Marthe Keller, Fritz Weaver

1. I've been giving it some thought lately.

I go in Thursday to have a years-old root canal that has gone bad repaired.

2. I remember it to this day! Saw it when it came out. Terrifying if you don't like dentists!

It impacted me like a bad wisdom tooth.
Highly recommended if you like having nightmares.
