Though, full disclosure...I'd totally bang Miss Piggy.
The MoFo Top 100 of the 1970s: Countdown
→ in Movie Reviews
I'm sure for you youngins it is difficult to imagine, but before even cable TV became an outlet, the only way you saw movies was either in the theater or when they were broadcast on TV. Very different world.

I've seen them all, but if you were as old, crazy and as much a bum as I, you would too.

And, the time in between theatrical releases and TV broadcasts was often YEARS, not six months.
I remember when we got our first VCR the only movie that could be bought in Ireland for months was Crocodile Dundee, and the tape cost £75.

I'm not a fan of "Mad Max", but I love "The Muppet Movie" It was #21 on my list, and only the second movie from my list to show up in the countdown so far.
I've seen "The Muppet Movie" well over 100 times, thanks to a child that I used to babysit for back in the mid-1980s. He wouldn't go to sleep unless he watched "The Muppet Movie" first, and then he was a little angel, and went to bed happy. I didn't mind because the movie is so good that I enjoyed it as much as he did. Jim Henson was a genius.

As big as a fan of Sci Fi and the Mad Max series that I am, I didn't vote for Mad Max.
I would have voted for Road Warrior and Beyond Thunder Doom if I had been at MoFo for the 80s list.
Christine, That's interesting about Mad Max being dubbed. I'm in the USA and to my knowledge, I've never seen a British film dubbed with American actors voices.
Sometimes I've had such a hard time understanding fast spoken 'street' British dialogue that I had to go to English Subtitles to understand the movie.
Made in Dagenham, a well made, fine movie, but I could understand only about a 1/3rd of the spoken language.

I've seen The Muppet Movie. Its not bad but I honestly didn't think it would make it. Perhaps there is hope for some films i was starting to count out. So now I'm up to seven. Like everyone else practically, I assume I will have seen much more of the top 50.

Speak posh? would that mean the same as the phrase, "speaking the Queen's English"?

Mad Max is the worst film on here so far.
Haven't seen The Muppet Movie yet.
I've seen about half of the movies so far.
