To ask what are the best 70s films?

[Yesmycatisanutter]

In bed, waiting for results of a covid test and feel horrid.
I want to watch a film (I have Netflix) I want something from the 70s as it’s my favourite decade.
Sadly I wasn’t able to experience it (I’m 38)
Could I get some film recommendations? I never watch films it’s mostly tv shows. Never seen any of the classics either.

Jaws The Wicker Man The Towering Inferno The Poseidon Adventure

Christine (1983, but set in 1978/9)

Something lighter

The Black Stallion
The Jazz Singer

Gosh Christine takes me back, great film

Animal House

Grease

He was absolutely compelling.

I did some Googling about the real Sonny - he was actually sanitised for the film! What a strange individual. And poor old Sal was only 18 in real life 🙁

I’ve decided to do a 70s Movie Night every Saturday now. Bloody love them.

What about Carrie or The Omen?

@LunaNorth

We should set up a 70s film club on here.

We make a list of films, watch them every Saturday night in date order and then come back on here afterwards for post film analysis.

But like Tim Burgess Listening Parties

Race with the devil : Loretta Swift and Peter Fonda I think. Scarred me as a teenager.

Theatre of Blood

Great idea!

On a Clear Day You Can See Forever

I’ve always loved this one. Very quirky and you have to like Barbra Streisand.

Bananas
Sleeper
Love and Death
Annie Hall
Life of Brian
Rocky Horror Picture Show
Star Wars
Grease

My tastes are very highbrow.
