Bought/watched Scarface last night. Brilliant.
Looking for Marathon Man (worth watching or best left as a memory?)

Any others?

Ps. Yes theres Serge Leoni etc but Im talking the ones you dont hear about anymore..

Charley Varrick.

The Taking of Pelham 123.

I did hear that they were remaking the Pelham one. Have to be good to beat Walter Matthau at his best.

70s?

Star Wars I guess is the one that really stands out

Poseidon Adventure
French Connection
Tora Tora Tora
Rollerball
Not a movie but a series…. The Sandbaggers

Not a film, but a series – The Red Hand Gang (You'd managed to forget it, hadn't you?)

Films? Well, apart from Kelly's Heroes and the dirty Dozen, what more does a chap really need?

Bought the French Connection (£3 HMV) as well! 🙂

Rollerball- is it still 'in print'? That was brilliant.

Jaws
The Spy Who Loved Me

high plains drifter

Westworld.

cfh, Kelly's Heroes is all you need really. Gold, tanks, a great theme tune, Telly Savalas and Donald Sutherland.

which reminds me – Catch 22 wasn't bad as a film- not as good as the book of course, but not bad.

Not a movie but a series…. The Sandbaggers
I'm still waiting to see what happen to that bloke who got shot in the neck!

Kelly's heroes – Woof woof.

Midnight express

Another one for the French connection.
Planet of the apes
Shaft

Stop hitting me with these negative waves…..

Eating some cheese, drinking some wine and, erm, catching some rays

And Clint, don't forget the Clint….!

rocky
one flew over the cuckoo's nest
the exorcist
taxi driver

and it's been said before, the film with the best chant ever on earth, Rollerball.

Jonathan! Jonathan! Jonathan!

Good shouts so far. Basically any 70's dystopian Sci Fi especially Silent Running and how about

Slapshot

Films: West world, Silent running, Dark Star, Assault on Precinct 13

Series: The Proffessionals, Sapphire and Steel.

Midnight express

Another vote for that wonderful film.

And how about Jacob's Ladder…

Ohh, and I once saw a film called Sexworld – based on Westworld but with, well, sex…

🙂

So far:
Rollerball
Slapshot
Westworld

Wow, they bring back memories.

Already own a few of the others above. Can I recommend Logans Run? I wanted to be a Sandman (yes as a kid you dont realise they are the bad guys).

slapshot, wow, forgot about that one. And darkstar. time to go shopping I think.

If were going for cheesy 70s porno how about Flesh Gordon I can never forget the Penisaurus and some of the character names Dale Hardon and Flexi Jerkoff

The Warriors
Star Wars
Rocky

For a modern day take on 70s sci films I can thoroughly recommend Moon. Very much a tribute to the slow burning sci fi films of the 70s like, Silent Running, 2001, Dark Star etc.

Great post Hora

Childhood boys films to me were:

Restless Natives
The Warriors
Exorcist
Jaws
French Connection
Italian Job
Get Carter

Slapshot was mega!

How about Logan's Run?

Ski, I was in HMV yesterday and bawked at the 16quid cost for Gran Torino. Probably a great film (revenge etc) but not 16quids worth. Got me thinking….remembering the great films that were made in the 70's. Scarface is still abit mainstream but I just love the mountain of coke- Pachino the pitbull off his face with coke allover him firing a M16 rifle and shouting you wannit ****, you ****, come and get it you ****

Ah yeah The Warriors was ace!

Tora Tora Tora! is currently on sky anytime.

How about:
Raining Stones
Rita Sue and Bob too

Big Wednesday

so many films

chinatown
taxi driver
godfather 1 and 2
deer hunter
one flew over the cukoos nest
the last detail
badlands
apocalypse now
vanishing point
electra glide in blue
lenny
straw dogs
harold and maude

I miss Moviedrome with Alex Cox – used to love all the rare films he showed

And how about Jacob's Ladder…

wasn't that made in the 1990s?

Most of mine have been said above, and..
Kentucky Fried Movie
Saturn 3
Long Good Friday
Alien
Life of Brian
Rocky Horror Picture Show

OK, does anyone remember the name of:

Horror movie which has something to do with salmon getting infected with toxic waste, who then turn into human/fish looking monster who attack a fairground next to a river, ends abruptly, low budget, terrible acting?

Anyone remember the name?

It was that bad it was actually entertaining to watch.

ski wasn't that Prophecy

Alien — the first one… if only for Sigourney Weaver in pants. 😳

you know she was supposed to fully naked for that scene but her mum turned up on set that day!

some brilliant films listed so far

for a british 70s film id have to say get carter
(am i the only person that thinks italian job was actually a really stupid film with 1 good bit- where they drive round the roof of the fiat factory)

The Friends of Eddie Coyle
Charley Varrick
Silent Running
Deliverance
Taking of Pelham 123
The Warriors
The Duellists
Harry in Your Pocket
Barry Lyndon
Dersu Uzala

Walkabout, Ahh Jenny

The Wild Bunch

Slapshot was so funny

Any of the Hammer Horror films where a young pigface would catch his first glimpses of female flesh.

A car film where the last scene was the goodies/baddies escaping and then hitting a train. Anyone remember it?

Scum. i got the original and remake for a couple of quid. Brilliant film (s)

Withnal and I

Long Good Friday

1980

Hmmm! Good post and hard to add to it but thinking.

Withnal and I

Way out.
