My Take: 50 Favorite Movies of 1975-1979
I was seven years old in 1975. Eleven years old by 1979. I cannot remember a time when I did not go to the movies. My family had a tendency to take me to see films that most kids my age would have never seen in those days, like CARRIE and HALLOWEEN, mostly genre films. As a result, I grew up thinking that most movies involved madmen with knives or satanic forces, and that might not be a great thing for a child, but there you are. Did I see all of the films listed below in theatres? Of course not but, a surprising number, I did. Some were seen after the advent of HBO, cable TV, and VHS. Are all of these Great Movies? Once again, no. Some are personal favorites that appeal only to me for reasons of interest to no one outside of my immediate family, and then, only if pressed. Others, I'm sure, would make the film critics of the world bemoan the death of my generation's good taste. I turn myself in. All of these movies, however, made an impact on my impressionable young mind and remain, to this day, viewing pleasures. When I think of the late-70s, these are the movies that come to mind.
