On the Waterfront is fantastic. I don't like it quite as much as some of Kazan's other films, like A Face in the Crowd, Baby Doll and A Streetcar Named Desire, but it's still deserving of its status as an all-time classic. "I coulda been a contender . . . I coulda been somebody . . ."
I think you read my review for The Exorcist. It's a very good movie, but it didn't have quite the same impact on me after seeing so many of the scenes parodied and replayed over the years. It's cool that you have extra reason for putting it on your favorites list, though, since it sounds like you and your brother have bonded over spinning heads and pea soup many times in the past.
I've never seen any of the Monty Python movies. Shame on me, I know.
Apocalypse Now is one of my top five favorites movies of all-time, so I'll be disappointed if it doesn't also make the top 5 of the 70's Countdown. One of the most awe-inspiring movies I've ever seen.
Usually a muddled plot would annoy me, but the dialogue is so damn amazing in The Big Sleep that I don't care. Have you ever read any of Chandler's work? As much as I like his film adaptations, I feel like I should've already picked up one of his books by now, but I still haven't.
