01.18.14 | Last one of these for today | manosg
01.18.14 | Very good list. 3 and 4 are incredible. Overall, I prefer the 40s and 50s over the 60s and 70s. | Trebor.
01.18.14 | Might as well put Godfather II and The Conversation and have 4 fucking Coppola films | Kalopsia
01.18.14 | Star Wars, 1977 | PayneTiger777
01.18.14 | No mention of Jaws makes me sad. | Trebor.
01.18.14 | Jaws is the kind of movie I appreciate, but it does nothing for me
Same with every Hitchcock movie
Basically I don't like old school thrillers much | Kalopsia
01.18.14 | Eraserhead is a mainstream movie? lol | Trebor.
01.18.14 | He never implied all of these are mainstream, he just said there are some great ones
| Kalopsia
01.18.14 | "Some great mainstream movies in this decade"
not to be a dick, but yes he did. but whatevs i really dont give a damn. just saying is all. | TAB
01.18.14 | flesh gordon is the best 70s movie | DominionMM1
01.18.14 | needs the deer hunter | YoYoMancuso
01.18.14 | 4 is unbelievably good | InbredJed
01.18.14 | 11, 12 sooooo hard! | TheGreatQ
01.18.14 | "and saying "some mainstream" =/= all"
But he didn't say "some mainstream," he said "some great mainstream movies" | tempest--
01.18.14 | no Star Wars! :-0
but yea of what I've seen this is a sweet list | Riviere
01.19.14 | I'd say THX 1138 holds up a lot better than Star Wars. | tarkus
01.19.14 | if yall like surrealist/trippy af/highly thought provoking movies from the early seventies you oughta check Alexander Jodorowsky's "El Topo" (1970) and "The Holy Mountain" (1973).
El Topo is a surrealist western focusing on a mysterious cowboy/masked rider/gunfighter type figure who claims to be god, and his child son (who the father forces to bury items of sentiment in order to become a man) as they traverse a warped western desert type setting
The Holy Mountain is really weird but focuses on what greed and social engineering caused by it has done to the world, as well as a solution in the form of how to live unaffected | InbredJed
01.19.14 | oh yeah! I forgot about that movie, THM rules! | tarkus
01.19.14 | shit its not alexander its alejandro but yeah THM is bomb | Judio!
01.19.14 | Cool list 9 is 1 | InbredJed
01.19.14 | I'm not sure it's specifically ranked, Judio | Yotimi
01.19.14 | El topo and the holy mountain, yes good call | Judio!
01.19.14 | Whether it's ranked or not, 9 will always be 1. The only movie I dislike on this list is Chinatown, and even then it's not a band movie it's just extremely overrated. | TheSlenderMan
01.19.14 | No Dirty Harry jesus christ | InbredJed
01.19.14 | Judio man!
WTF, have we talked about Chinatown before? That movie deserves all the praise it gets. It's not Polanski's best, but its an epic movie. Especially for the mainstream, Polanski had an opportunity to get a message across about the corruption of the municipal structure in California and he knocked it out of the park imho. | Judio!
01.19.14 | Nope, we have obviously never talked about Chinatown before lol. I'm sorry man, I've never been able to enjoy that movie iwhatsoever, despite that I genuinely like Polanski and Nicholson is probably my favorite actor of all time. Unfortunately Jed, I'm way to tired to have an actual discussion about the movie right now, but feel free to shoutbox me tomorrow and I can talk about it further. Yeah but for now I will concede that the setting and atmosphere of the movie is absolutely brilliant. | lou1000
