The Andromeda Strain (1971)
But it's soooo fun and stylish
It's true that you wouldn't look at this film as the basis for all things technical and believable. However, there is so much style happening in this film, what with the way that they tried to make the technology of that day seem so cutting edge, i.e. rotary phones and dot matrix printers. The sounds are awesome and the Kate Reid character is unapolegetically butch with is pretty cool for 1971. From a historical context it's fun to look at how far we've come. From a style standpoint it looks like a homage to 70's chic.
Loaded (1994)
A fine movie, but not much happens
Not a lot happens in Loaded. However, the relationships between people, and the way they subsequently break-down are familiar and interesting. If you don't mind a slow movie, but love the exploration of boundaries,(and if you love Thandie Newton) I'd say this is one for you.
