Members decode6 Posted December 16, 2010 Members Share Posted December 16, 2010 I love how movies made in the 1980s are "older." Here's a few goodins:-From Here to Eternity-The Best Years of Our Lives-Sgt. York-Sunset Blvd.-High Noon-Red River-Serpico-Uhhh.......Clue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members companyman Posted December 16, 2010 Members Share Posted December 16, 2010 "M", Fritz Lang's unbelievably creepy masterpiece starring Peter Lorre as a child killer, made in 1931 and it is one of my all-time favorites! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BryanMichael Posted December 16, 2010 Members Share Posted December 16, 2010 The '70's is the golden age of film making, bar none IMO. Check out the entertaining and epic "The Outlaw Josey Wales" - The dark and rugged "Sorcerer" by William Friedkin with Roy Scheider. The tense high contrast "FailSafe" with Larry Hagman, Henry Fonda, Walter Matthau, and even Dom DeLuise! (George Clooney re-made "Failsafe" as a LIVE TV presentation in the 90's, but check out the original!) In fact, watch it as a double feature one night with the 80's classic "WarGames" - two completely different takes on the same situation. When you are up to it, watch "THE BATTLE OF ALGIERS" - and see how modern and relevant the content seems, then remember that the movie was made in 1966. Oh, and yeah- The Last Detail is something you should see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members A.P. Ryder Posted December 16, 2010 Members Share Posted December 16, 2010 Night of the Hunter I came into the thread to suggest the same thing! So how about: Dog Day Afternoon. The Hot Rock. The Anderson Tapes. The French Connection. Taxi Driver. Jeremiah Johnson. McCabe and Mrs. Miller. THX 1138 Westworld (the original with an awesome Yul Brenner). on and on ... so many good films made in the '70s (when I was a young film buff, and movies were $1.30).

Members goodhonk Posted December 16, 2010 Members Share Posted December 16, 2010 7 samuri is a LONG movie, but worth it Yup - a true classic. And even though it's "Eastern", it's very "western", or at least influential on westerns. Speaking of movies that are adaptations of Seven Samuri, check out The Magnificent Seven. Any movie with Yul Brynner, Eli Wallach, Steve McQueen, Robert Vaughn, James Coburn and Charles Bronson in it can't be all bad - and this one rules. also bugs life.

I love those gritty early to mid-70s cop pictures, like The French Connection, The 7-Ups, Dog Day Afternoon, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
