Favourite Films: 1970-1979 Edition

[Artistic Skaters]

I remember liking both Apocalypse Now & The Deer Hunter. Also Who'll Stop the Rain (with Nick Nolte). However, I usually watch movies like those only once due to the graphic violence.

Most of my faves are mentioned but I will add "Being There."

One of my all time faves. Can't believe I forgot to list 'Being there'

I agree though I find myself going back to The Deer Hunter to the period before they left for Viet Nam. I have a lot of relatives in New Jersey and life is such a celebration with them. When I see the scenes leading up to and including the wedding I am reminded of that passion for life all over again. My relatives are aging but this movie reminds me of when everyone was younger and more vibrant.

Eerie, wonderful, and impeccably made film Badlands (1973) Stars young Martin Sheen & Sissy Spacek. A forever kudos for including cuts of Carl Orff on the soundtrack...
