I enjoyed The Wicker Man, but can’t remember why.

[Film] Films from the 70s - Saturday Night Fever

I defy you to dislike this beautiful Bee Gees song. All the lyrics are perfectly comprehensible with no intruding falsetto...

Mind you I like the Faith No More version even better and love the accompanying video which really evokes the lyrical quality of the song...

Taxi Driver, a bit like Apocalypse Now in that it is utterly bleak but what a performance from De Niro...

Cheshire Cat
The most curious thing..
If you want real trauma, try Bambi when the mother deer is shot dead, or Ring of Bright Water when the otter is beaten to death with a spade, or Kes when the kestrel is killed - they are '60s films admittedly, but I was in junior school when I first saw them, and can't watch them again even now....

Better. It's not just the Bee Gees so don't take offence, I also avoid Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons and Bronski Beat for the same reason.
So if Bronski Beat come on the radio you Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away?

I see watership down has been mentioned which is a great shout but obviously in a sad way.
Another good 70s animation is the lord of the rings animation.
If memory serves me correctly I think JRR tolkien himself worked on the animation but died before he could finish the series.
It's a good way of seeing how tolkien envisaged the scenes from the book.
I have a feeling Peter Jackson was strongly influenced by this animation when he was working on his live action versions as when I saw the fellowship of the ring for the first time I was instantly reminded of the 70s animation.
The animation probably looks dated now and unfortunately it says to be continued at the end but sadly it was a one off,but still worth a watch I reckon.

It's not a traditional western as the US Army are very much the bad guys. The massacre is based on a real one.

There were some genuine classics in the 70s but this is it for me

Imagine back in the late 80's and your a Russian Submarine hunting Britain's main Nuclear Detterant and you pick up a faint contact ahead of you somewhere in the depths of the Ocean somewhere.
As you fine tune your system to find out what the noise is and all you can hear is 70 voices singing along word perfect to "Grease"
Well that was us on HMS/M Revenge as on a 3 month Patrol we knew it word perfect.

It’s probably shit but I bloody loved it at the time. Gutted by the well worked ending
Car chases and Susan George, what’s not to like?
Just reminded me of this “must watch” film, if you haven’t already
Ignore the image below, it’s the remake and I don’t seem able to delete it
