This will form the basis of the movies menu on the 70's site.

-Thanx
 

Well, I thought it might make it easier if you take the list a letter at a time so to speak, so I've made a partial list for you of great 70's movies that begin with the letters "A" and "B". I just wanted to make sure the list I gave you was alphabitized, because anybody could just throw you a bunch of films from the 70's that begin with different letters in no particular order, lol. I've probably missed a lot of great films, but I tried my best and hopefully this will help start ya out :)

I would also include "Breaking Away", from 1979. One of my favorite films of the 70's decade, and probably one of the best "coming-of-age" films ever. It was filmed in and around Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana.

The movie stars Dennis Christopher, Dennis Quaid, Daniel Stern, Jackie Earle Haley, and Paul Dooley in a hilarious performance as the father.

In 1980, there was a TV series based upon the movie, with Shaun Cassidy taking the lead role. But the series lasted only one season.

...here are some more 70's films with the letters "G" through "P".

Also include "The Poseidon Adventure" (1972), one of the great "disaster flicks" of the 70's, with an all-star cast: Gene Hackman, Ernest Borgnine, Stella Stevens, Shelley Winters, Jack Albertson, Roddy MacDowell, Red Buttons, Pamela Sue Martin, Carol Lynley, and Leslie Nielsen.

There was a sequel in the late 70's called "Beyond The Poseidon Adventure", but I never saw it. And I guess not too many people have either!

Ok, well I hope that has helped ya out some Nick, and I can't wait to see the 70's site completed, I have been listening to a lot of 70's classic rock music, and I am very much in the mood for the whole great 70's aura ;-)
 

There are more movie titles that she didn't include but I will include some more titles (and opinions) when I think of them!

I realize this board actually originated as an 80's website. And although I love 80's movies and pop culture, I cannot deny my formation years in the 70's.

Yes, there were plenty of cheesy awful stuff in 70's movies, music, pop culture, etc., but 80's lovers don't seem to realize that the people who became well-known in the 80's, also started out and grew up during the 70's decade. (Example: Madonna graduated from high school in 1976, as I did. Not the same school, of course! :-> )

I speak with quite a few older people, those who grew up in the 60's. And some of them say that in order to appreciate the 60's, you have to understand what the 50's were like. The two decades seem totally opposite and different from one another.

So, I guess that in order to really appreciate one decade, you have to understand and study previous decades.

Anyway, thanks so much again, Bridgette! Please forgive me rambling on!
