What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

[McMurdo]

The 70s had great cinema. The Godfather, The Conversation, The 7-Ups, The French Connection, The Driver, Taxi Driver, Deer Hunter, Chinatown, Jaws, Young Frankenstein, Alien, Dirty Harry, The Man Who Would Be King,..the list goes on and on.

I will not dispute that, some of my favourite films are in your list, however in general period pieces in the 70's were lacking in detail when it came to hairstyles.

Sigh, the amount going on is what I liked about it. maybe it was too complex for the poor darlings.

The key criticism people had of Spiderman III was that it simply had too much going on.

Yes, that 70s Spiderman is what I grew up with. Truly horrific.

Diamonds Are Forever.

Ok, I can see Dirty Harry in there but that was actually an anti-70s movie.

Oh and another pile of trash:

See it with someone you hate is right. :rofl:

I get the feeling Harry Callahan would be anti-any era he lived in!

 

[Yeps]

Really? Any particular reason people thought it was bad? I thought Venom was cool, and I always liked Sandman.

Always with the proviso that I'm certainly no comic book or superhero movie fan. The one that was on before it (and preceded it in the franchise) was better, but really, are people honestly looking for a "good movie" when they go to watch superheros? Surely no-one could possibly be looking for anything deep in these movies? They're just a bit of light entertainment, right?

Well, the people who go to see the Dark Knight movies are definitely looking for good, serious movies. And Avengers showed that you could make a really good, well put together action flick without it having to be too deep or dark.

Sigh, the amount going on is what I liked about it. maybe it was too complex for the poor darlings.

It wasn't so much that it was complex, it was that it crammed a bunch of separate stories in without really making it coherent. Also, having Venom, the greatest of the Spidey villains, and only really using him for a couple minutes at the end was a wasted bit of potential.

As much as I'm not into '70s cinema, you're right; the decade did have some great films...

Agreed!

Goldfinger. One of my favorite Bond flicks.

 

[Flw Sock]

I just watched Gone in seconds last night on YouTube. Pretty good movie considering half of the movie was a bad ass car chase.

 

[McMurdo]

Watching The Hustler with Paul Newman and Jackie Gleason. Great film and I loved the way Gleason dressed as Minnesota Fats.

Nah, he just hated hippies. The 70s was a good era for that. You could follow the smell and find droves of them.

You saw a list of them posted, J. Not every film was about...Hippies!!:hippie::eeek:

 

[Widebrim]

Goldfinger. One of my favorite Bond flicks.

I remember seeing that in the theater when it came out. Quite a film for a young boy to view...

 

[Alive'n'Amplified]

Saw 'The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo' last week. I was mostly impressed with it. Great story line. A little graphic for me. I hear the Swedish version is off the charts.

 

[Alive'n'Amplified]

'The Last Starfighter' the other night. I must have watched this 122+ times when I was a kid. Just loved it! Sure, the graphics are dated to today's standards, but it was state of the art when it was originally released in 1984. I still enjoy watching it today.
