AND who remembers Melody (S.W.A.L.K) ,I was absolutely besotted with Mark Lester ,i was 12 and going through that 'difficult' stage of life. big coinsidence that he,s just popped up in the news lately about michael J,s children!

The decade for awesome films. Three to watch again:
Chinatown
Badlands
Mad Max

All the President's Men. BA had it as an inflight movie when I flew to the US around election time last year. Comic timing?

Once upon a Time in America…..maybe that was in the 80s

Boys From Company C

the andromeda strain

A fist ful of dollars
for a few dollars more
and the best bya mile the last of the 3, The good, the bad and the ugly

More Clint,
Where Eagles Dare

I can watch the films listed on this thread over and over…..wasn't it good when films had plot, character development and (some) decent acting. So many of todays films just rely on special effects and action.

A fist ful of dollars
for a few dollars more
and the best bya mile the last of the 3, The good, the bad and the ugly

All from the 60s though but 3 fantastic films.

Blimey…..Is Clint really that old now. Stioll a cool dude.

Bullet…or was that 60's too?
Cool Hand Luke….errr hang on Paul Newman is pretty yung in that film isn't he…err

Have Marathon Man- about to watch..

Westworld- out of stock in two HMV's due to 'stock take at Warner Bros'. Funnily I didnt know there was a sequel- Futureworld!

Dirty Harry.
Vanishing Point.
The Outlaw Josy Wales.
Dog Day Afternoon.

Don't think ones mentioned The Sting. A Paul Newman classic

Blimey…..Is Clint really that old now.

His movie career started in the 1950s

Move ‘em on, head ‘em up,
Head ‘em up, move ‘em out,
Move ‘em on, head ‘em out Rawhide!
Set ‘em out, ride ‘em in
Ride ‘em in, let ‘em out,
Cut ‘em out, ride ‘em in Rawhide

Rather depressingly I can remember Clint in Rawhide (TV show)

Anyway, a few others for the list

The Towering Inferno
A Clockwork Orange

Spot the theme…..

Vanishing point
Electra Glide in blue
Mad Max

Others:

A Clockwork Orange
O Lucky Man
If
French Connection
Mash
Catch 22

70s films rockkkkkkkkkkkk

Convoy

Watched Deer Hunter last night. IF the Director had ended the film where De Niro shoots into the air rather than kill the Stag then I think that would have been THE anti-war film of all time. It gets a little mired in itself after that and labours the Russian-roulette theme.

Anything with Burt Reynolds, especially Smokey & The Bandit and the Cannonball Runs
And of course Star Wars (the proper 3 of them) and Italian Job.

Not 70's but how about the King of New York?

two lane blacktop
thunderbolt and lightfoot

And how can forget the classic Deepthroat.

The Wild Geese
Walking Tall Part 2
The Driver
Heaven Can Wait
Gone in 60 seconds
Halloween
Close Encounters of the third kind

Slap shot was ace too.

"hey are you guys related?"
"we're brothers . . ."
"really??"

lol

Vanishing Point.

Catch 22

The film was gash. The book was great. Just don't read any more Heller – the rest of his stuff was as equally gash as the film of his book.

IMO

🙂

The Wild Geese

That was BRILLIANT! The end bit where they are running alongside the Dakota trying to get in?

No mention of The Shining yet?

Capricorn One, Deathrace 2000, Cronenberg's 'Shivers'

On a lighter note: Smokey and the Bandit, The Gumball Rally

Did anyone say Serpico yet?

The film where the car smashes into the side of the train as the 'bad guys' make their getaway is Dirty Mary Crazy Larry; as the crash happens in slomo, the last thing you hear is the girl scream. Most of those '70's films had really depressing endings…
Two of my favourites are They Call Me Trinity, and Trinity Is Still My Name, possibly the funniest westerns ever made, a huge fight between bunch of monks and a load of bandits always has me creased with laughter, total slapstick comedy.

No, the best was..

Rumack: Can you fly this plane, and land it?
Ted Striker: Surely you can't be serious.
Rumack: I am serious… and don't call me Shirley.

Or..
Rumack: Captain, how soon can you land?
Captain Oveur: I can't tell.
Rumack: You can tell me. I'm a doctor.
Captain Oveur: No. I mean I'm just not sure.
Rumack: Well, can't you take a guess?
Captain Oveur: Well, not for another two hours.
Rumack: You can't take a guess for another two hours?
