Yes, sad. I had though of it but I mistakenly thought is was a tv movie, much like Brian's Song was.

Thanks for getting this going Mae - I had been waiting to revisit the 70s. The list of films brings back a lot of memories. Such great decade of originality. Here are some of the ones that I had...

Thanks - this one is a truly amazing, and little seen film.

Can't believe I forgot about this one - I think it's partially responsible for my fear of flying.

Second

You realize that this is the one not starring The Rock, right? ;-)

I will second The In-Laws

I will offer up the real life story of Tennessee sheriff Buford Pusser, featuring a great performance by Joe Don Baker

Film: Walking Tall
Director: Phil Karlson
Year: 1973

...

I will second Midway - I remember seeing it in the theater in what was called sensoround (this was first done with the Charlton Heston film Earthquake the time). Essentially they brought in huge...

I will nominate another adaptation of a Frederick Forsyth novel starring a very young Jon Voight. Another great post-war thriller.

Film: The Odessa File
Director: Ronald Neame
Year: 1974

I'd like to nominate a brilliant film based on a Rudyard Kipling short story, and starring a superb teaming of Sean Connery and Michael Caine, with fine supporting performance by Christopher Plummer...

i'm afraid to second anything because I have a few more that I want to get nominated first.[/QUOTE]
So, you won't second a movie you believe to be worthy, simply because you want to get your films...

What are you waiting for, a few more nominations?[/QUOTE]

Yeah, I have a few more that...

How about yet another great, great, great political thriller...from a pretty great novel by Frederick Forsyth.

Film: Day of the Jackal
Director: Fred Zinnemann
Year: 1973

Oh my God! I remember seeing this in the movie theater at a Saturday double feature. I was so terrified. Where did you ever dig this oldie up - pun intended.
I second Squirm!

I can't believe I almost forgot this one. One of Robert Redford's best performances in the hands of one our best directors. I love wilderness films. Probably not very politically correct today. ...

I will nominate another guilty pleasure, this time a WW2 piece. Imagine a cast of Robert Shaw, Harrison Ford, Carl Weathers, and a hot Barbara Bach chewing up the screen.

Film: Force 10 From...

This one was next on my list, but I will have to second Lenny, which is the first biopic I can remember seeing. It solidified Hoffman on my list of actors to watch.

That is very true. Later decades, especially the more recent years, will have more diversity, which is great, but what the '70s lack in representation, I believe they make up in style and creativity....
