    Rolling Thunder
    Whew! I nominated it long ago. It was #1 on the unseconded list for a long time.
    Yeah, I kept watching it waiting for someone to second it. I felt weird because I haven't seen it, but I would have been bummed if it didn't get in.
    There have been several movies I thought should be seconded, but I hadn't seen so didn't feel comfortable seconding them, was going to ask a couple of days ago about other peoples thoughts on that.

    There's also several films I remember seeing in the theater as a kid, and liking, but have very little recollection of the movie. Still debating on if I should nominate them. I might just list them as suggestions for other people to nominate.

    I would like to second:

    Thunderbolt and Lightfoot

    I was born in 68 and I am surprised at how many movies I thought of as 70's movies were from the 60s such as The Guns of Navarone and I was amazed that The Bridge Over The River Kwai was the late 50's.
    All that's left of what we were is what we have become.

    I'm the exact same way. I was born in 77 so I have absolutely no memory of the actual 70's. The 80's and 90's were my favorite decades for many things. I really struggled coming up with movies for this tournament and I think my participation will drop in this one vs. the previous ones. It will just keep going down as the decades get older as well. I just don't have a whole lot of interest in watching movies older than I am.

    That may have been me. There are a ton of titles that have been nominated that I don't recognize at all or only know of because they made some sort of sequel or reboot later on. I went through the list and here's the ones that I noticed so far. There are probably others as well.

    I'm not saying this to disparage you or anything, not at all, but I just never understood that mindset. Some of my most favorite movies of all time are from years and decades before I was born. The world didn't start the day I was born.

    I can't really explain it. Maybe because some of my favorite movies are the ones that make me feel nostalgic. Either because I remember watching them when I was younger or they simply remind me of the good times I had when I was younger. There's only a few movies from the 70's that do that for me and AFAIK, nothing from before that. Although I don't think any of them will make my favorite list.

    I'm also not a big movie buff. I don't typically seek out movies I haven't seen just to say that I've seen them or in the off chance that I might enjoy them. If I haven't seen them by this point in my life, I probably never will.

    One good example for this is THX-1138. I actually sat down and watched that about a month ago because I just happened to catch it on TV. I had heard about it for years but didn't really know what to expect and never really had an urge to watch it before. I was not really that impressed.

    And I'm like the complete opposite. I remember watching so many older movies growing up. When I got a little older and we had cable, I would watch as much as I could, especially the premium channels and TCM and AMC and IFC. In high school I even took Film Studies as an elective, I think when I was a sophomore or junior. It was awesome. Then I discovered The Criterion Collection. So I've always been fascinated by older classics, just as much as the new releases. I hope as this tournament goes on, you might check out some of the nominations that seem interesting. Lots of them are available on streaming.

    I think I fall more in Iwritecode's camp. I haven't felt motivated to watch movies from previous tournaments, unless something about it grabbed my attention. I think for me the rationale is that there are just so many movies/tv shows to watch, too many books to read, too many games to play, and too many CD's to listen to, that you just have to limit yourself, and watching something just because someone recommended it doesn't seem appealing to me (unless that person is very close to me and knows exactly what I like).

    Having said that, due to nostalgia (I was born in '68), I may try to watch more movies from this tournament then others. I have found myself in the mood to watch more thrillers and more mysteries lately. (thanks to watching a box set of Hitchcock movies, and Knives Out)

    Since we are getting close to the end, thought I would mention a few movies I remember seeing, and liking, but since it has been over 40 years, don't remember enough about them to nominate them, but would second them if someone else nominated them.

    The '70s were full of thrillers. We've got some great ones here. I think I may have one or two more to nominate.
