Forgot the previous 5 Stars rated movies from the 1970s had 20 titles. Oh well.

bob

all of them

I think Chinatown is a little high

Annie Hall is way too high
Kubrick, Nolan, Tarantino, Wan, Iñárritu, Scorsese, Chaplin, Abrams, Wes Anderson, Gilliam, Kurosawa, Villeneuve - the elite



I believe in the international communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

14/20. I'd list the ones I haven't seen but when I go to reply, the list vanishes.

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.

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

All of them: several of those were banned here.

really?  :buggedout: :buggedout: :buggedout:

I would guess "A Clockwork Orange" and "Life of Brian" were definitely banned, and probably "The Exorcist" and "Taxi Driver." Am I right, Trevor?
I'll take you places the hand of man has not yet set foot...

ER

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."
