Movies from the 1970's
« on: May 05, 2008, 09:02:26 PM »
Flipping the channels I just came across Death Wish.  I remember watching it a long time ago but didn't remember the acting being so bad or that Jeff Goldblum was in it In fact it's his first movie he was Freak #1

Every weekend my dad and I used to watch movies, it was either Charles Bronson, Clint Eastwood, Friday the 13th, or Godzilla.

Our favorites, we used to cheer on Jason & Godzilla while eating a ton of popcorn.

It's no wonder I'm warped now.

I used to watch mst3k with my kids every Saturday when it was on.  We still watch other older movies and do our own dialog

My dad liked those movies, Dirty Harry and Charles Bronson's Death Wish ones.

Andrew Robinson was the bad guy in the first Dirty Harry, I saw the other day.  The person making it wanted a bad guy with the face of a choir boy.  I think that he got death threats for years after making the movie.

I recently downloaded "The Andromeda Strain (1971)" and "The Omega Man (1971)"

Both movies that I enjoyed when younger.

I liked the first Death Wish. The rest were shite but the first was quite good, actually.

I liked it but some of the bad guys were a bit over the top

I saw "The Andromeda Strain" on television recently and I liked it, but I don't remember ever seeing "The Omega Man."

They did a 2 part mini series remake of The Andromeda Strain (both are based off the Michael Crichton Novel).

The Omega Man, staring Charlton Heston, is based off the Novel "I am Legend" by Richard Matheson, which was also recently remade with Will Smith.

I watched I am Legend online when it first came out on a site where you could see people walking in front of the cam corder :laugh:
I like the post apocolyptical theme but the movie was lacking a lot glad I didn't pay to see it

The book is terrific, though. And NOTHING like any of those awful movies.

Oh.  My husband and I rented the DVD "I am Legend" with Will Smith recently, but I did not realize that it was a remake of an earlier movie.

I'd say its more of another movie based off the novel rather than a remake of the other one, plus I think there was another movie based off the novel before The Omega Man. So that would make the recent one the 3rd.
