Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the Seventies
 

Gideon is notorious for not interacting with the forums or its members, so unless a PM was sent I wouldn't expect a list being sent. Also, I'm not sure but I have a hunch Gideon is a female or at least a female impersonator, just as I'm a male impersonator. The Gideon user name comes from the Roy Scheider character in All That Jazz, and he/she really likes musicals and romantic comedies, which I also like, at least the good ones. :)

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the Seventies
 

I've got Gideon's list. All is well.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the Seventies
 

Have you noticed that Gideon is always online when Sexy is offline....? :suspicious:

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the Seventies
 

I know that Gideon posted a ton of reviews at IMDb, but I don't recall what the user name was there. So, no Sexy methinks.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the Seventies
 

I don't think Sexy would ever create an alter-ego that actually talks about movies and doesn't ever really interact with other MoFos. His own ego would never allow it and there wouldn't be any point to it anyway.

He's definitely not SC. That would be the most pointless alter ego ever even more than Database Errol :p

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the Seventies
 

Sexy wouldn't dare 'lose' some posts by posting as other user unless it's for fun and really seldom.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the Seventies
 

Maybe it's JayDee.

This whole "I'm sick" thing with JayDee has got to be a lie. He's on another name.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the Seventies
 

Is this the most lists one of these things has had?

Gideon interacts with the forum, just on a delayed response of about 10 years usually :)

Yes, I believe so.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the Seventies
 

I can't believe nobody's figured out that I'm Miss Vicky yet. How come nobody can tell that?

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the Seventies
 

Sexy has a room of 20 computers and is on as 20 different members at once.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the Seventies
 

Yes, the truth is out. I'm Sexy's slightly-less-bitchy alter ego.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the Seventies
 

sexy celebrity has been my alter account all along. please ban him, i have no use for it anymore.

I'm everybody here. This site is a big M. Night Shyamalan movie. At the end, the camera pulls back to reveal a massively schizophrenic woman (played by Roseanne Barr) and her thousands of multiple personalities, all being played out on a web forum. The year is 2744 and the Internet has evolved. The world has changed. This is the Twitter of the future. Celebrities have become super crazy. Much more than they are now. They've become bored with talking about themselves, so they made up thousands of other pretend people to speak for. It's like a darker, even scarier, even sadder story than Her.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the Seventies
 

Sent my list, my brother has too.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the Seventies
 

GET THOSE LISTS IN PEOPLE! Time's almost up!

OK, officially on the spreadsheet, we are up to 90 MoFos, and they should all be accounted for on the second page of this thread. I just got Yasashii and Daniel M's lists, which will make 92, but I haven't entered them, yet. I'll send you guys the notification message after I do that.

I'm still at the office. Driving home, so there will be a gap for a while before I return online.

I expect to have a bunch more ballots.

Thanks, everybody.

:)

The Pink Panthers were hysterical. Not high enough on the greats list but the franchise deserves a mention.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the Seventies
 

Out of interest, what is the 70's equivalent of Europe's "The Final Countdown"?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jK-NcRmVcw

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the Seventies
 

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the Seventies
 

I'm interested if more lists will equate to more greatness or more junk.

Less of my films, so more junk

What's 70's Asian Cinema like? ;)

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the Seventies
 

I think by having 90+, we won't see as much Asian. I'd be surprised to see more than 8 actually.

There's no real answer to that. Especially given that your definition of "junk" doesn't exactly fit with that of other people.

Case in point:

http://www.angelfire.com/music6/walt...cs/Cries12.jpg

Though of course everybody's definition of those terms varies to some degree.

There were Asian people in the 70's?

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the Seventies
 

Nah, I'm talking junk as in "I've never even heard of that before, what the hell?". I'd assume I will have at least heard of most of these this time around.

Those are the best kind of films and what makes lists interesting, not self-validation

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the Seventies
 

I think we can all expect Cries and Whispers to make the list. Sorry raul.

Well, just in case, the gong's now in the shop getting a cleaning so it'll be ready:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcp9X4QsI1E

Why are u sorry. Of course it's making the list. I didn't bring it up in this convo.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the Seventies
 

Because you hate it. :p

Are there any Asian films that are definitely expected to make the list? I watched I think 3-Dersu Uzala, House, and The Castle of Cagliostro. I'm guessing none of those make it. What are the other big ones?

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the Seventies
 

I think it's a bit wrong to call something you've never heard of "junk." I think they're more like "opportunities for exploration." Which is not to say that they won't ultimately be something you hate, just that they shouldn't be dismissed simply because they are foreign to you.

I've seen a lot of love for House around here. I wouldn't be surprised to see it make the cut, actually.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the Seventies
 

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You are right as always.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the Seventies
 

There's enough weirdos cineastes here so House will make it. :)

I'd rather Dersu Uzala make it

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the Seventies
 

Me too.

I can only think of a couple filmmakers here, who else is there?

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the Seventies
 

Well we know The Castle of Cagliostro has 25 already, so it has a good start :p

Holden said it was gonna take a few days I think to get it all sorted. Course the way hes been attacking this he might have it licked before you finish reading this post.

What?! No love for The Apple Dumpling Gang?!

http://www.impawards.com/1975/poster..._gang_ver2.jpg

I was a little kid in the 70's :)

No. Not even the highest animated movie in my top 25 (first time I make one without Miyazaki on 1st place).

Asian cinema was in crisis during the 1970's: Japanese cinema was in a depression with the lowest number of movies made and lowest studio revenues during that decade (because TV destroyed film ticket sales). While the cinema of China, Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, etc, was still rather embryonic.

I would expect a ton of Japanese movies in the 1950's and 1960's countdowns though.

In the 1970's the most critically aclaimed Japanese film was Battles Without Honor and Humanity (1973) about the Yakuza:

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the Seventies
 

The 1960s list will allow me to fill in my lack of Oshima films

Yeah but ATG was producing some serious cinema at the time, with an assist from Toho. Great decade for Japanese cinema.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the Seventies
 

I'm surprised Brodinski didn't submit. He was online earlier today.

You can always find great movies in every decade of Japanese cinema from the 1930's onwards but the economic size of the film industry was at it's lowest point in the 1970's in Japan over the last 60 years. Hence less talent and thus less great stuff produced over the decade compared to the other decades.

Hence I strongly disagree and thus have to believe you don't know what you're talking about saying something like that.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the Seventies
 

That's a good list. You should have moved your ass.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the Seventies
 

You should've just submitted a top 20, then. Holden said previously that he would accept lists of less than 25.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the Seventies
 

Looks like an Asian movie just moved up higher.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the Seventies
 

Sorry, s1n1st3r. I caught you late. We'll give you plenty of warning for the 1960s list, whenever that winds up being due (probably early next year). And at least watch the reveal of the group list, see how many of your choices make it, and where they place.

Thanks!

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the Seventies
 

Damn, one away from 100 lists

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the Seventies
 

Forgot about the short lists being submitted.

99*

No foreign films? I don't approve. One flew, Star Wars and The Outlaw Josey Wales are the best outta these.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the Seventies
 

99? Bloody 'ell, good job Holden and MoFos!

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the Seventies
 

Yeah awesome job, a few weeks ago I think we were on like 30-40 lists and when Holden said he wanted 100 I thought he was crazy, but nope... incredible stuff and I can't wait for this to start :D

Same here, I thought Holden was dreaming shooting for that many. I think it has a whole lot to do with him that their is so much participation. Hats off to you, Holden.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the Seventies
 

s1n1st3r has The Warriors on their list, though. That alone should mean it counts.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the Seventies
 

Normally I do not do "lists" it is usually too tough for me and then I re-think it and get mad for not having a certain film on there. This list was fun however and even though I am re-thinking a little already it brought up some good memories of growing up and made me want to watch some movies that I have not seen in a very long time.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the Seventies
 

@ Minio - Not a fan of Chinatown?

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the Seventies
 

I rate it

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the Seventies
 

99 Mofo lists on the wall, 99 Mofo lists.

This should be good. A great decade of film and a very large selection of lists. I expect a few surprises, but the larger number of lists could equate to the early favourites having a better chance.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the Seventies
 

You've officially got 100 lists now.

Just count my list as a joint list with my mother, Sexy Mommy.

Since she's my mother, we've both seen the same '70s things and like them all equally.

Just mark it off as "Sexy Celebrity / Sexy Mommy." Two people.

So, congratulations. You got exactly 100 lists. YAY!

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the Seventies
 

I blame sleezy and brodinski for not making 100.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the Seventies
 

The real question is who is going to be the Mystic River, Titanic, and Gandhi of this list and miss despite its popularity.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the Seventies
 

None of you want to start seeing the reveal of the official list today, right? Just wait a few or five days? Let it all sink in?

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the Seventies
 

I want you to start ASAP.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the Seventies
 

Today would be awesome :D

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the Seventies
 

I would perhaps like to see a a couple films posted today... :D

Today would be fantastic.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the Seventies
 

OK, sounds like everybody wants Monday. Night.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the Seventies
 

If you don't start, they can always enjoy the rest of "Mother of The Godfather." My own '70s list. I haven't finished it.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the Seventies
 

I should be able to start sometime this afternoon. Should.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the Seventies
 

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the Seventies
 

MoFos can be demanding. Holden cracking under the pressure. I managed two days between the deadline and starting the 80s countdown. :p

Holden's better than you

Until then, here is the traditional list of films that received exactly one point, and one point only. Sixteen movies that were somebody's number twenty-five choice...and that was it. Let's end the suspense for those folks right now.

The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz
The Concert for Bangladesh
The Crazies
Diamonds Are Forever
Every Which Way But Loose
Farewell, My Lovely
Fat City
The Fury
Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo
La Grande Bouffe
The Lords of Flatbush
Love at First Bite
Meatballs
Robin & Marian
Summer City
A Touch of Zen

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EJvizCVEyc

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the Seventies
 

Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo was mine.

I must confess, I put it at #25 because I knew that the "One Pointers" list was the only way it was gonna get a mention. :laugh:

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the Seventies
 

Farewell, My Lovely looks good, Cobpyth probably gave it the point. Shame I didn't get round to it but I guess it wouldn't have made a difference :D

he is, though

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the Seventies
 

I would like to start as soon as you can.

99 pissing lists, tho. What do you people have against me/the 80s? :tsk:

How many points/people voted for Pumping Iron?

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the Seventies
 

Wait. Maybe I can't find out. IN CASE it appears on the actual list.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the Seventies
 

aww Concert for Bangladesh was mine. I remember that , it was the prototype charity concert. Always loved George

thanks for the youtube clip Holden, but not working for me

More than one.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the Seventies
 

Don't let these ravenous jackals pressure you, Holds. They always want things immediately. Do it whenever you want.

Yup, and he hasn't tortured Daniel nearly enough to start the countdown just yet.

If you voted for Pumping Iron and you're not the person I'm thinking of, you're safe.
