Favourite Non-Horror movies of the SEVENTIES 35 Attachment(s) There's lots of classic movies in this decade.Some of the best ever made in fact. For instance,I sat and watched ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN the other night all the way through for the first time,and was enthralled by it. Discuss your favourite non-horror movies of the seventies here. |
No seventies film fans then? DELIVERANCE is one of the best of the decade,and with that shock ending,certainly gave Brian De Palma and Sean S Cunningham a wee push in the right direction.;) GET CARTER is Caine's finest performance bar none.He oozes cool,calm and collectiveness.The first time I saw it,I was flabberghasted at that shock ending....... DOG DAY AFTERNOON is one of legend Pacino's finest performances,not to mention the criminally underrated John Cazale,who was tragically lost to the acting world at a relatively young age.:( A CLOCKWORK ORANGE is Kubrick's finest IMO,a thought provoking film with a stellar performance from McDowell as the evil yet charming bastard Alex. |
15 Attachment(s) I don't like the film but i like your Kramer vs Kramer poster. Jaws Star Wars Apocalypse Now The Wild Geese A Bridge too Far Cross of Iron The Black Hole (I really like it, one of Disney's more downbeat movies) Jeremiah Johnson Breakheart Pass High Plains Drifter The Man With the Golden Gun Live and Let Die The Spy Who Loved Me Moonraker Superman The Towering Inferno Two Mules for Sister Sara Warlords of Atlantis Zulu Dawn |
6 Attachment(s) My favourite non-horror film from the seventies is... Andrei Tarkovsky's 1972 claustrophobic sci-fi fantasy drama: Solaris (which is also my favourite film of all time) |
16 Attachment(s) Some of my other favourites include: Assault on Precinct 13 Chinatown A Clockwork Orange Deliverance Frenzy The Godfather The Holy Mountain The Man with the Golden Gun Monty Python's Life of Brian One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest Picnic at Hanging Rock Soylent Green Straw Dogs Taxi Driver El Topo The Warriors |
What in particular though,make them your favourites? |
Ah so many many good films during the 70's.From where to start?The Taxi Driver,The Deer Hunter,The Godfather,Deliverance,Apocalypse Now...........................and so on.There was a time of melancholy and also a time of rebellious minds that expressed their ideas through movies without taboo. |
My favourite decade but one in particular... MARATHON MAN! Gritty, tense, bleak at times. Sums up the best of Seventies American films before Star Wars came along. |
Deliverance and Jaws aren't horror films? Since when? |

I suppose it comes down to an individuals interpretation on a film; I've never seen Seven and Silence of the Lambs, and The Vanishing as horror film either, but understand that many people do. |
