Title: Movies and 70s culture Post by: Scott123 on February 26, 2016, 01:09:12 PM When I see a movie from the 70s that I like (usually low-budget sci fi), it really takes me back and makes me miss those days. If that happens to you too, what movie does it for you? For me (and there several), the main one is The Alien Factor (1978).
Please weigh in ...

If that happens to you too, what movie does it for you? For me (and there several), the main one is The Alien Factor (1978). Please weigh in ... Oh, sweet monkey farts! The Alien Factor! Great Don Dohler film. It even made the cover of Famous Monsters of Filmland. (http://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/lGcAAOxyni9TC7ag/s-l300.jpg) Most of what I watch is from the 70s, so this would be a hard thread to narrow down one title, but one movie that pretty much SCREAMS the 70s is The Omega Man with Charlton Heston. The look, the clothes, the environment, the ideals expounded upon, all right out of the 70s. You can't go wrong with Chuck Heston playing a futuristic Jesus figure. Title: Re: Movies and 70s culture Post by: RCMerchant on February 26, 2016, 04:59:42 PM Great topic-for me-a movie that evokes the sleaze and cheese of the 70's-it would have to be DONT LOOK IN THE BASEMENT (1973)

Thanks ... I actually have this one. Good choice .. Title: Re: Movies and 70s culture Post by: Slinkyturd on February 27, 2016, 10:59:25 AM 80's badassery. Schwartzennegger is a good example. -I know that's not a movie title but it really could be the title for any of his films from that era and I'd still watch them.

I'm also very fond of the Roger Moore James Bond movies of that era, especially Man With The Golden Gun (1974) and Live and Let Die (1973). (http://cdn-static.denofgeek.com/sites/denofgeek/files/9/53//gg1.jpg) And to tie in with that era, the look and smell of those old vinyl album covers. Glorious!

Think I had the whole film including ad breaks memorised by the age of 10, lol
Wasn't born till the end of the 70s but I still get nostalgic watching 70s movies, not sure how that works TRIP WITH THE TEACHER (1974) is one. It encapsulates the cheesy innocence of the 70s b-movie era while still being quite a nasty and sadistic film!

Eyes of Laura Mars: glamorous fashion chic insight from 1978, a gritty New York setting and a Disco soundtrack that makes you wanna boogie. (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/5/5d/Foxes_ver1.jpg/220px-Foxes_ver1.jpg) Foxes: Released in early 1980 but filmed in 1979, I always thought this coming of age tale captured the teen spirit of the 70s quite well.

Think I had the whole film including ad breaks memorised by the age of 10, lol Wasn't born till the end of the 70s but I still get nostalgic watching 70s movies, not sure how that works Goodness, yes. I think it's because of the time period itself. Most of the reruns of recent movies and TV shows you saw would have been shot in the late 60's and early-mid 70's. In Australia, I grew up watching The Midday Movie on Sunday, which was often a black and white Hollywood Golden Age movie. Even in the late 80's, movies from the 50's, 60's and 70's were shown as late night movies. What's scary is that there are now adults who watched The Matrix as kids. Title: Re: Movies and 70s culture Post by: zombie no.one on April 06, 2016, 11:45:18 AM yeah good point, I probably did watch a lot of earlier 70s stuff repeated growing up...

Title: Re: Movies and 70s culture Post by: retrorussell on April 19, 2016, 03:59:31 PM This movie made fun of the "perfect housewife" mores that were still present at the time. Smiling, totally obedient to their husbands, always did all the shopping and cooking, etc.

Blazing Stewardess's defiantly a 70s fick.

That was a wild decade. :wink: But here's a few that take me back. ([url]http://images.moviepostershop.com/car-wash-movie-poster-1976-1020205545.jpg[/url]) This solves a 'what film was this' mystery that has played on my mind for years and years. When I was a kid, I saw a movie on television with a scene that involved a woman washing a car, and what seemed like prison inmates working on the road and going bananas while watching her. The movie itself is not Car Wash: it is Cool Hand Luke (1967). Not a 70's movie, but kind of close. Warning: NSFW !
