The Godfather is a predictable victor, but a worthy one. Jaws is a very good movie, but not one for which I have any particular love. People say that Jaws made them afraid to go in the water, but I...

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

I don't really have anything to say about A Clockwork Orange. I watched it at a friend's house a few years ago, but we found ourselves talking during much of it, so I didn't give it the attention it...

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

I'm surprised both made it this high on the countdown, especially Barry Lyndon, which I always thought was one of Kubrick's least popular films. I'm not a fan of period pieces, so Barry Lyndon isn't...

To be honest, I found The Conversation kind of dull, especially in the first half. It's been four or five years since I've seen it, though, so I owe it re-watch. At least the ending has stuck with...

Never seen Cabaret, but I imagine I'd probably admire it from a technical standpoint more than I'd enjoy the film itself, which was my reaction to Fosse's other 70's entry, All That Jazz.

Kramer vs. Kramer taught me how to make french toast, so I should've voted for it for that reason alone, but I didn't. It's a great movie, though, and I'm happy it made the countdown.
