David Lewis

Ehh... it had potential, no doubt about that. But you have to admit, it had some SERIOUS editing issues. That party sequence at Harry’s (workshop? Home?) place went on literally forever. I think the whole movie was rushed through production, but still came out fairly well. Hackman honestly can’t give a bad performance.
David Diaz
This looks goddamn kino.
Adam Perry
it is. make sure you watch the uncut version.

Connor Hughes
Christopher Clark
still following the experimentalism of "new hollywood" from the late 60s while still trying to be mainstream, it was the perfect middle ground. of course, there was a lot of shit, but when films hit they hit
five easy pieces is incredibly underrated despite le diner scene being the only real well known scene by normies
it's lesser known sort of successor by the same director, king of marvin gardens, is forgotten by time. it's nicholson actually doing a held back performance as a bit of a loser
Jason Harris
Yes.
The Man Who Sleeps (1974)
Parallax View (1974)
Hausu (1977)
El Topo (1970)
The Offence (1973)
The Ascent (1977)
Suspiria (1977)
Duvidha (1973)
Phantom of the Paradise (1974)
Mason Perry
Way better than the 1963 version (and hotter too)
James Bennett
El Topo is my third favorite film of all time.
Ryder Barnes
Asher Long
This box set is godly, weirdly enough Head has become a favorite of mine (it's essentially the Monkies making a shitpost of their entire career in film form).
Brayden Baker
Jace Walker
still need to see head, i just recently read about bob rafelson's assocation with the monkees and never knew he was that close to them, just find it strange knowing the guy who made a film as emotional as five easy pieces had a huge part in creating the monkees
nicholson was on top of the world during that whole movement, i'm glad he's still around
i just read about peter fonda, F. easy rider is a masterpiece on it's own. it seemed like every artist somehow met each other during this time too, toni basil appears in both easy rider and five easy pieces, i'm aware zappa appears in head
Robert Cooper
I started watching all the >oscars best pcture winning films and I can confirm the 70s are the best years IMO
Joshua Evans
*ahem*
Jaxson Wilson
>That party sequence at Harry’s (workshop? Home?) place went on literally forever.
I felt exactly the same thing. But still, overall it's one of my favorite films ever heh
Anthony Wood
every film from the 70s had a based party sequence that went on too long
i like to think of it as a time capsule of actors improvising, especially after the really scripted stuff that film was just coming out of
Lucas Phillips
>he hasn't watched rocky
Ryan Morales
i've seen all of them except kramer vs. kramer
David Adams
How the fuck old are you not to have seen all of those?
Dylan Torres
>Patton
didn't really care bout that one until I started doing this
>The sting
not really a super famous movie, so again, didn't really care until now
>rocky
no idea why, really, my dad is a huge Rocky boo
>kramer vs kramer
same as rocky
Jason Lee
>tfw we'll never get a decade so kino that even the Best Picture winners are worthy
I can't think of a single one from this decade I really loved.
Logan Perry
Overrated, the twist is good but the movie sucks overall.
Watch the lives of others instead.
Henry Ross
>the sting
>not really a super famous movie
What the actual fuck?
Colton Sullivan
Not all films that are famous in america are famous in other countries m8. Shit, I doubt The Sting was even shown in theaters in my country
>inb4 where do u live
not important jej
Yeah. Although maybe I'm too much of a normie, but I actually liked Birman and The King's Speech. Both specially for their comfyness

Nolan Williams

Eli Thompson
Adam Garcia
Some of your ratings are too high.
Thomas Collins
Landon Howard
rocky is horrible lol
Hunter Reyes
I think it was the freedom of expression combined with the lack of a single dominant genre. The 60s had westerns, the 80s had action movies but the 70s lacked a distinct film identity. That allowed filmmakers to do whatever they wanted to and experiment.
My favorite is Badlands.
Isaiah Powell
pretty much every DeMille film except for the Ten Commandments is massively underappreciated today
Kayden Reed
It's a good movie with several 10/10 scenes. The entire hotel room sequence is fucking great.
Jacob Myers
Here's a movie you probably haven't heard of. Not the greatest in the world, but still pretty kino.
I suggested it to someone in Yea Forums last month, and they were going to watch it. Don't know if they did.
Tyler Richardson
As said here:
youtube.com
Old Hollywood was over, so the 70s was the time of mainstream films that were a bit indy. Cimino destroyed it all, along with United Artists, with Heaven's Gate, which failed with a giant budget. While the 80s turned to blockbusters, Hollywood became all about profit, and now with political correctness, all the mainstream has is capeshit now, so people have to look at indy movies (which had a big revival in the 90s) for anything worthwhile. Sadly, all the kinos are undiscovered and rely on word of mouth/online.
Jonathan Johnson
Samuel Edwards
>70s was the best decade for film
has there ever been a bigger fucking meme?
the decade saw Hollywood become such a cesspit of edgy, cynical garbage that it could only be revived by robot sharks and toy spaceships. This of course was the advent of the modern blockbuster, which led to the endless stream of braindead gutter trash that litters the American film industry today.
the “auteurs” of the 70s were hacks like Sidney Lumet who came from television and had no understanding of the cinematic language and made films that looked worse than poverty row movies from the 40s
Jonathan Parker
Clintkino
Landon Campbell
I think everyone knows that 1939 was the greatest year in film
Colton Morgan
That was pretty much the only big movie that fulfilled Coppola's desire to write, produce and direct his own movie (Godfather and Apocalypse were based on others stories). He has been looking to do another one for decades.

Hope he pulls it off, if only to make up for his career slumping after his 70s kino.
John Rodriguez
We all know the best about it Gina Gershon’s Bush
Elijah Rodriguez

Austin Kelly
This picture is giving me some homo erotic vibes.
Ryan Ramirez
Oh Oh, you better switch over to something safe, like Can't Stop The Music, a film about a bunch of totally normal guys who give up dating women because they want to focus on their music career and hanging out at the YMCA for exercise.
Alexander Williams
Americans cared about actually competing at Cannes and Venice, and Hollywood didn't care about money.
Also, kino cinematography

Psshhh - Try the Palme d'Or winners aswell.
Chase Moore
Nathaniel Nelson
both of those guys could potentially be dennis hopper
Joshua Cooper
Wyatt Butler
>perfect middle ground
Honestly, I don't think I've seen a New Hollywood movie that wasn't worth seeing, such a great scene
Xavier Bell
Blow Up and Blow Out are far better
Daniel Fisher
>Paul giamatti hamming it the fuck up and screaming like DiCaprio for 2 hours
Brian Cox was good and it was a fun last stand but Black Death had a better atmosphere.
Nicholas Richardson
Anything with James Purefoy is pure kino.
Eli Peterson
i was shocked how good black death was
Nathan Scott
Thats such bullshit. How can you NOT find something to write? Theres billions of stories to tell in this world.
Kevin Cruz
how the fuck is the conversation underappreciated lmao
did you start watching movies last week or something?
Adam Thompson
nvm it's the entire thread posting well known movies lmao
Ryder Moore
This movie is good enough, but nowhere near as good as people claim it is. The twist is fucking retarded,
Coppola never made a great film without the word 'Godfather' in the title.
William Johnson
>what happened to you to me?
Ethan Collins
Noah Gonzalez
>Have a look at this instead.
John Wood
Top kino.
Also delicious body from the main damsel.
Charles Bailey
Ayden Ross
holy shit you can list 30 acclaimed films released throughout the decade? Damn I guess I take back my statement.
a lot of those are shit by the way. Annie Hall, Star Wars, Dog Day Afternoon, Network, Grease (lmao. watch moar musicals), Midnight Express — mediocre films. some of the others I haven’t seen in years but I’m sure they’re similar. spielberg and pakula made good films during the 70s though, I’ll give you that.
Cooper Parker
Jack Gray
Literally fuck off and die 80's faggot

never see anyone talks about this
Nolan Lewis
It's not underappreciated. It's a classic. That's what "classic" means
Colton Allen
The Conversation is /r9kino/
Ian Lopez
Great film but not underrated.
Luis Walker
>It's a classic
i dont think many people even know about it
Ian Perry
1) The limitations of special effects technology and audiences that weren't composed mostly of children and/ or manchildren meant that instead of an emphasis on merchandise-driven cartoonish PG action comedies the emphasis was on serious films intended for adult audiences.
2) The lack of digital technology didn't hurt the aesthetics at all, analog film and camera technology was advanced enough that everything looked great (and mostly still does)
3) because there was still a lot of money to be made but franchises hadn't become the staple of the industry, directors were given decent sized budgets for the kind of one-off projects with no sequel potential that you don't see as much any more.
4) The kind of shit we're getting sick of now (superheroes, animated movies, fx-heavy blockbusters) was so difficult to do at the time that only true autists who were incredibly gifted and passionate actually tried and succeeded on a massive scale. So even the genres that are arguably ruining cinema today were contributing to the quality because you got shit like the OPT Star Wars trilogy, Disney movies actually made by Walt Disney and the Reeve Superman moves.
Although I will say this about point #4 - Lucas was a literal genius who had sincere talent and passion but he did kinda ruin movies because SW's success not just at the box office but on a merchandising level set the precedent that's still being followed now. SW was literally the end of movies just as movies and now they're mostly cross-promotional marketing tools.
Christopher Ortiz
Not zoomers I guess because zoomers don't know anything.

Yes

>The kind of shit we're getting sick of now (superheroes, animated movies, fx-heavy blockbusters) was so difficult to do at the time that only true autists who were incredibly gifted and passionate actually tried and succeeded on a massive scale.
uh, did you forget about the endless disaster movies made during the 70s?
Xavier Lee
Based movie.
Gavin Scott
Ethan Torres
Adrian Rodriguez
Daniel Powell
Basically all of Howard Hawks' films, this being my favourite.
Daniel Martin
This is probably the most charming, best scripted film I've seen. Stewart is great as his young, bumbling self, and Sullavan is very attractive. Such a perfect little film.
Charles Wright
Of course, I forgot the pic
Jaxson Morgan
The Deer Hunter is a terrible movie
Ryan Campbell
I just learned about this movie a couple nights ago, and the premise is pretty neat.
>Andrew, an agoraphobic travel agent, and Dave, a loser who works in an office, discover that the entire world beyond their house is gone, replaced with a featureless white void.
Lucas Gray
Easy. Best date movie.
Chase Walker
>Dog Day Afternoon
>Mediocre
What the fuck
Carson Sullivan
I know Verhoven dislikes the move because he lost creative control and had to put in the romance, but for what its worth, the odd love triangle really makes the movie. It really adds to the peculiar atmosphere the movie has.
Jaxson Myers
Kagemusha
Because there was a revolution of sorts going on in Hollywood.
Henry Rodriguez
How are DDA and Network mediocre films?
Benjamin Miller
I think everyone does.
Justin Perez
it showcases Lumet's biggest flaws: egregious television-tier camerawork with overabundance of close-ups and wide-angles, enclosed setting that makes the film feel like a stage play, impersonal direction, themes being shallow and unexplored in favour of a focus on story (television). It's just an acting showcase. Lumet said the montage of at the beginning of the film is meant to communicate naturalism but that doesn't really work if the whole fucking film takes place in a cordoned-off sector of a street essentially acting as a stage.
once again, shitty direction by Lumet. overrated for "revealing" the shambles and lies that fortified media culture despite the public already being cognizant of them.
Brody Young
>themes being shallow and unexplored in favour of a focus on story
That's just complete bullshit and you know it, Network definitely explores its themes and does so well, so what gives other than you stroking your own ego here?
Evan Roberts
>Network definitely explores its themes and does so well
I was talking about DDA retard. Network's script is the only good part of that film.
Thomas Clark
I asked you about Network since you claimed it was a mediocre movie, so cut the attitude kiddo. It's not just the script that made the movie, stop being such a tryhard.
Justin Carter
Dominic Brooks
>It's not just the script that made the movie
well it sure as hell isn't the visuals or acting or aforementioned exposé of the media being groundbreaking. it's ham-fisted agit-prop through and through.
Leo Ortiz

Funniest film of all time along with Bringing up Baby, coming through.

Jace Morgan
Best film since Rocky
Christian Sanchez
The Conversation is great but it was a total fucking hack move to have the emphases changed in the last 20 minutes. The whole movie it's "He'd kill us if he had the chance" then all of a sudden it changes to "He'd kill US if he had the chance" fucking cheap shit
Hudson Ross
No, the performances are exactly what brings it to life.
Eli Sanchez
Abhorrent taste.
Caleb Clark
You're trying too hard. Stick to Yea Forums, retard zoomer.
