Seen all except The Godfather: Part II (1974)
Forgot the previous 5 Stars rated movies from the 1970s had 20 titles. Oh well.
all of them
I think Chinatown is a little high
Annie Hall is way too high
All of them: several of those were banned here.

14/20. I'd list the ones I haven't seen but when I go to reply, the list vanishes.
Not seen ANNIE HALL, ROCKY, or the STING.
Nice to see you are commenting on movies , ER! :thumbup:

Just open another thread to BAD movies- and find this thread, and you can read it on one and type in the other. Not rocket science. Or get a pencil and write it down.

Cute, Ron, but I think the majority of your posts aren't movie-related. In fact I'd say if there was a BMDO award for drama, you'd get it, though whether it'd be for your quarterly threats of suicide, your lamentations about your rectal bleeding, your whining about your bad childhood, or your smack talking about how you want a shotgun to protect yourself when your woman isn't around to do it.... well, I just don't know.
^Well, that was special! :bouncegiggle:

That's not going to work. Quit it. He was trying to segue back to movies. And be cool with you.

I would guess "A Clockwork Orange" and "Life of Brian" were definitely banned, and probably "The Exorcist" and "Taxi Driver." Am I right, Trevor?
All righty, right-right, let me look again now I am in a better place to actually list them.... I've seen these:
The Godfather
Star Wars
The Godfather: Part II
Alien
A Clockwork Orange
Taxi Driver
Apocalypse Now
Jaws
Rocky
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
The Exorcist
Annie Hall
Dog Day Afternoon
Barry Lyndon
One observation.... The '70s produced a lot of "great" movies that weren't always very "good."
