Holy crap. They don't make movies like this anymore.
Anybody else ever see this?

Now go rent Taxi Driver.
Yeah - I don't like many newer movies these days. Lots of effects, scenery, and boobs - little great acting or storylines. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jun 2005 Location: Calgary, AB, Canada | | | I wasn't a fan of Apocalypse Now. Overall it was just such a boring movie IMO, that I didn't give a **** about any of it.
Some of my favourite 70s movies: Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Animal House, Halloween, Black Christmas, Assault on Precinct 13, Chinatown, A Clockwork Orange, Deer Hunter (one of De Niro's best IMO. Christopher Walken also rocks), The Exorcist, Jaws, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, the Poseidon Adventure, etc etc (Rocky is one of those etc's...oh and who could forget Debbie Does Dallas? And Star Wars).
The 70s had a lot of great flicks. In fact, I'm probably going to watch some of them this weekend.

Both book and film adaptation are still great IMO...they did it justice, which cannot be said about many book to movie adaptations.

I don't know if anyone mentioned "All That Jazz", but that was another great one from the period.
