Five favourite movies in just your snippet of classics released that year. Quite a year 1970 as you rightly point out.

Same year but can't recall having seen that.

A short list would include, Longest Day, Cape Fear and To Kill a Mockingbird. However, prefered the remake of Cape Fear so Mockingbird gets it.

If you get a chance I recommend it, its one of those "gritty, real life" films, similar in style to "Kes"

1977 - A fantastic year for films including Star Wars.

1981 was a decent year for films...

Raiders of the lost ark
American werewolf in London
Clash of the titans
Das Boot
Escape from New York
Cannonball Run
Arthur

and, er, Porky's.

This reminds me of another cracking living head separated from body B movie shocker. The Frozen Dead. The separated head was a sub plot to a freezer full of the Nazis kept frozen after WWII in order to be re animated in the 1960's to reek havoc once again. Only seen it once probably in the early seventies. I had nightmares for weeks.

Cracking Films in 1961, El Cid, Guns of Navarone, 101 Dalmations, but this has to be my fave. Ollie Reed's debut movie and ground breaking Werewolf make up.

M.A.S.H.
Catch 22
Kelly's Heroes
Little Big Man
A Man called Horse

And for a bit of history, Waterloo and Cromwell!

What would it be without one of the Carry On capers.

1970 = Carry on Up the Jungle...?
