Recommend Me Some Movies From the 1970s
With the MoFo Top 100 of the 1980s going on, the Top 100 of 70's isn't far off. If I were to submit a list of 70s movies right now, it would include two Herbie movies, Caligula, and Mandingo - simply for lack of having watched many movies from that era.
So give me some suggestions of what to watch so I can turn in a decent list when the time comes. |
Re: Recommend Me Some Movies From the 1970s
Is there really going to be a '70s list? *faints*

Jeebus. That's wide open.
Some of the must-sees that I don't think much of anybody would argue about would include The Godfather, The Godfather Part II, Chinatown, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Jaws, Star Wars (1977), Taxi Driver, Annie Hall, Aguirre the Wrath of God, Young Frankenstein, Dog Day Afternoon, Grease, The Sting, The Last Picture Show, MASH....that should keep you occupied for a while. Bit of a cross section. For starters. Even if you don't like some of those, that should give you a good base of the decade. I mean, we can certainly give recommendations by genre, and based on other things you've liked...but you can start about anywhere in that group. http://www.movieforums.com/community...1&d=1390513964 |

Holden's right, that's a wide open question, but I'll try anyway based purely on personal taste. Mine and your taste don't always align, and I'm sure one of the more experienced members can give you a more comprehensive list, but here's what I'd recommend anyway (particular favourites in bold):
MASH Five Easy Pieces McCabe & Mrs. Miller Harold & Maude Play It Again, Sam The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie Aguirre, the Wrath of God The Godfather & The Godfather: Part II Sleeper Paper Moon American Graffiti Badlands Carrie Don't Look Now Chinatown Love and Death Nashville Taxi Driver One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest Picnic at Hanging Rock All the President's Men Annie Hall Network Days of Heaven Kramer vs. Kramer Apocalypse Now Hausu |
In addition to what Holden said, I'd add A Woman Under the Influence, Nosferatu the Vampyre, Apocalypse Now, The Deer Hunter, Cries & Whispers, Monty Python movies & A Clockwork Orange. It's a great decade.

I was thinking I might not know of a lot of '70s movies to add myself, yet now I'm realizing I do.

Re: Recommend Me Some Movies From the 1970s
I left it wide open because I figured other people might get some benefit from the suggestions as well.
I've seen and loved One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. I didn't care for Taxi Driver or Little Big Man and I hated The Exorcist, Rocky Horror Picture Show, Grease and A Clockwork Orange. Also can't stand Star Wars. |

Days of Heaven-This film in lack of a better term is just majestic. Gorgeous cinematography, beautiful theme and a great story as well.

Sexy what's good about Rocky? I really did try, but it might be the worst movie I've seen ever. I can't understand a word Stalone says and it's a very cliché story

I thought you were female until recently. http://www.movieforums.com/community...1&d=1390515164 If you're a man, and if you're straight, take a lot of estrogen and see if it makes you fall in love with Rocky here. Because seriously, if this was Rocky -- http://www.movieforums.com/community...1&d=1390515595 I don't know if I would have dug the movie so much (see the '80s Countdown thread for an explanation.) |

Give Solaris a go if you're a fan of sci-fi. Stay away from it if you're not a fan of slow films.
