WHAT? They are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT!

Sheesh. :rolleyes:

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 1970s: Countdown

Yay for both!

CLOSE ENCOUNTERS was my #15 pick. A lot of my mid-list choices could have been shuffled around, but I was getting PMs from Holden titled "Tick-tock!" when we got close to the...

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 1970s: Countdown

Well, what can I say? YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN was my #1 pick. Anyone who knows me could have guessed that.

I think YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN is the most even, well done of Mel Brooks's movies, and I credit a...

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 1970s: Countdown

Been away for three days, but I was happy to come back and see BLAZING SADDLES show up on this countdown. I was its #2 placement.

AMERICAN GRAFFITI was at #13 on my list. I still have the soundtrack on vinyl from back in the day, but it's certainly seen better days. I wore that thing out by playing it constantly.

Although it wasn't produced to be viewed and acted...

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 1970s: Countdown

I have to admit that my own '70s list is more about how much I personally liked the films, and a lot of that is based on my having been a teenager for most of them (for my initial viewings, anyway). ...

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 1970s: Countdown

Believe it or not, I did not see this movie in the theater. I didn't become obsessed with Gene Wilder until 1974 when I saw "Blazing Saddles." By then, "Willy Wonka" was long gone from the theaters....

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 1970s: Countdown

Holden, I have to agree that DEAD MEN DON'T WEAR PLAID is just a MARVELOUS movie. I find it holds up really well, and even the cuts between old and new scenes hold up a lot better than I would have...

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 1970s: Countdown

Yay! Glad to see THE JERK on the list. It didn't make my own list, but that's mostly because I had too many Gene Wilder movies to fit in there. The 1970s were a busy decade for ol' Gene.

Like so...

It was #12 on my list. I saw this in the 1970s -- but, unlike most movies from my list, it wasn't in a movie theater. The overwhelming attitude about movie-going back then was...

Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the 1970s: Countdown

We have a lot more entries in the '70s countdown, though, right? So that would really make the points add up fast. I'm saying 850+.
