Doing the "I gotta rewatch some of my favourite 70's movies thing"

Here we go:

Coma - 10
Capricorn One - 10
The China Syndrome - 10
Roller Ball - 10
All the presidents men - 9
The Andromeda Strain - 9
Close Encounters - 9
Dirty Harry - 8
Westworld - 8
Salem's Lot - 7
Jaws - 7
Towering Inferno - 7
Logan's Run - 6

I don't think they make them like they used to, but every generation says that.

On another note recently watched Salem's Lot 2024
In order to compare....
Let's not......
2 out 10.

Instead of making it a mini series like the original, they just made it a movie.

It is not terrible, it is watchable and some of it is good.
However I think could have made a tad longer of a movie.

It still has that scary scene in it, although I thought it was much scarier in the original...of course I was younger when that one came out.

I watched it and thought it looks like a collection of modern takes on scenes from the original TV
/ film.

The sort of thing I'd see via YouTube's shorts.

Character development ....
Mr Straker - James Mason and ..... I've forgot his name already.

Great shame, cudda shudda been redone and remembered as a modern day classic.

Problem is one being a mini series and the other a movie.
One has the chance to develop characters more due to the length the other not so much.

When I first seen it was coming on I thought it was a remake as a mini series. Shocked it was a movie.

Yup

I watched ‘Woman of the Hour’ on Netflix. Anna Kendricks directorial debut about a serial killer in the 70s who she meets after an appearance on The Dating Game. All based on a true story. Nice job capturing the feel of time period and a solid movie overall. 7/10

 

[YosemiteSam]

I was chatting with a childhood friend and The Hangover came up. It had been quite some time since I had seen it, and that is a classic film, so yeah. I had to watch it again.

10/10 Just like The 40 Year old Virgin, 10/10.

Friday the 13th (Jason) always scarred me when I was a kid. Him slow rolling through with his hockey mask.

The scene where he jumps out of the water. When we go jetskiing and are floating around, I still bring that scene up to people. Haha

Loved that one when I was a kid. Also loved It's Alive, The Car, Trilogy of Terror... 70's and 80's horror was great.

Just finished Smile. Going to Smile 2 with the wife. NAUGHTY PUNKIN TIME haha

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

If you like action movies and are in the mood, give it a go.

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

Shades of Rosemary's baby.
Actress was the one who played Ruth in Ozarks.

I've been on an early 90's hood movie kick.

Menace II Society: 6/10

Has a lot of elements that could have made it a lot better, but overall, it's weak. I never really liked this once.

South Central: 5/10

Again, I never liked this one and still don't. It's OK, but nothing special.

Boyz n The Hood: 8/10

Solid plot, good acting. Ice Cube is actually really good for his role. Lawrence Fishburne is great, too.

Fresh: 7/10

The plot is really complex and is nice. It combines chess, drug dealing, etc. It's a little slow at times, but one of my favorites in the category.

Above the Rim: 5/10

Bad acting, bad plot, but watchable.

New Jack City: 7/10

Horrible, over the top acting, but entertaining and fun to watch for me.

Anyone that does a hood classics marathon will always get a like from me but damn Menace getting a 6. That movie is no worse than a 9. I still respect your opinion though.

I was good with your list until Above the Rim. That's a classic. Bad acting? 2Pac was fantastic as Bishop.

Tupac was good, everyone else was bad. I plan on watching Juice and Poetic Justice soon.

Doh!! I totally got my movies mixed up. He was Bishop in Juice. He was Birdie in Above the Rim. My bad.

I haven't seen Poetic Justice in AGES!!! That could be a fun one to revisit.

Poetic Justice was a pretty good flick.
