My dad had a Corvair. He tried to sell it to my brother in-law and said listen to that engine. My brother in-law said, I already have a weedeater. LOL One of my best friends got a gremlin as his first car. We thought it was pretty cool. I disliked this video for all the incorrect content and that AI generated voice. AI NEEDS to GO AWAY!!

That 60s videophone had a cool, stylish look to it. So many devices that came out just didn’t sell because it wasn’t the right time. I am amazed that we now live in a world which was depicted in fantasy stories when I was young and most things we take for granted now would be considered science fiction just a century ago. Consider: I walk into a store and the doors open without a doorman present and close again, behind me. I go in an escalator to the third floor without need to climb stairs or walk very far. I gaze out the window on to other huge buildings. I receive a videophone call (signal permitting) and can communicate with another human, face-to-face, on the other side of the world. If I could go back a couple of centuries and tell someone about this, they’d try me as a witch! 😂

Where I'm from the yugo is legendary, compared to the other cars available it was one of the better cars. Unless ofc for those who could afford Opels, Renaults, VWs or BMWs and Mercedes bought when working mostly in Germany. Renault models were also put together in Slo and Cro. The bad rep it got mostly from movies and because of much higher standards in the us, resulting from an overabundance of material, traditionally no need for fuel efficiency which carried over until today despite one real and numerous perceived shortages, traditional almost no care for workers in the golden age of fuel inefficient cars... Anyway I personally didn't like the yugo much, kinda ugly (I found the 101 even uglier), outdated (the body design is actually VW's from '70-71 which is rarely mentioned), the pedals in the slower model are very close together which makes tight shoes a necessity, also never mentioned anywhere. Apparently there are legendary british sports cars where the space is so tight it makes a comfy straight driving position impossible (Lotus? Not sure..), so ergonomics is a far cry from murican cars - otoh, there the safety standards are questionable, various issues up to today's visibility and size of SUVs. Let's see the rest then, if I can take it. Nope, Fuegos's quirks, some people just shrugged off quirks "oh yea it does that", why not do that when you have this extremely beautiful car? Prowler was a statement, period. Riviera? Ok, not everyone would buy it anyway, why make such a fuss? Corvair tricky? I guess, especially if you are heavy on the pedals, I probably would have to try it. Many others mentioned still lasted for years, just like the yugo, outdated in the early 80's it lasted a decade? And was still sold decades later as "Tempo". Ah well, thank you for all the info between the lines.

I was born in 1961 in New York. I consider myself lucky to have grown up to see many flicks in the theater. I'm a Fan of "Straight Time" and a big fan of Eddie Bunker the author of the book of the same name. Hoffman is a great character actor who is a star.

So you like old detective movies, okay we get it.

I can’t count the number of times I have seen Pelham 123. It’s absolutely perfect. The script, characters, plot line, etc. make for an unforgettable film

Only 2 obscure films. The rest were hugely popular. These movies could only be considered forgotten by someone who wasn't alive when they were made.

The Magnavox Odyssey was ahead of the time

The outside view of the Riviera is NOT a 1980s model, but a 1960s model.

Cylinder deactivation; didn't work then, and still a bad idea.

It‘s more forgotten quality, >50 years old and still working.

Not hidden, but a gem, The Mechanic. I love those gritty, nihilistic 70's films.

Automatic seatbelts did not "shoot" up. I love how, in one sentence, it is noted it started the occupants at start up (like they didn't see it) and the next statement is how occupants had to wrestle against it to get out (the only wrestling was the occasional snag of the inside most hand). In reality, the reason they failed was due to the frequent issues with the motors, especially after crashes. Which was why later iterations included a button release, but those defeated the purpose. Also, three point seatbelts existed BEFORE the automated seat belt. They were just another attempt at advancement.

If I remember correctly, the motivation for the automatic seatbelt was that it was cheaper, at the time anyway, than airbags. Congress was wanting to make airbags mandatory. So automakers proposed automatic seatbelts as a cheaper option to improve safety.

Part Two > 10 Hidden Gems of 70s Cinema That Blew Our Minds! th-cam.com/video/-t95AVrPPpo/w-d-xo.html Let me know if you saw any of these.

Another thing about the automatic seat belts. If the door flew open in an accident, you flew out!

You forgot "All That Jazz".

Clive Sinclair was such a dork.

Instant Like (*66) 1:25 1963 The first BOOM BOX 7:40 Data PCs on the Wrist. 19:31 the Tapes were the Size of Vinyl Lps 😅

Three Days of the Condor. The Bedford Incident

Saw all these, thanks to bbc 2 film night

Is Zardoz on this list? Because the new millenium needs to see Sean Connery in a loincloth.

The video phone, they didn't know what they're missing 😂

Barry Lyndon, aka the best movie ever made by man. Every single photogram of it is gold. Overlook it at your own peril.

4:30 They should have gotten William Daniels to do the voice. Probably would have been sold much better, at least in the early 80's. If you know why, you are *OLD* If you know why Douglas Rain would not have worked, you're really old. Also, watch more classic films. Some of the best movies ever were made before 1970.

Yugo was the opposite of the Chevy Nova in Spanish speaking countries. Nova was a car that went just fine even though the name means "won't go" an d the Yugo was a car name that meant, "you go" though it didn't go, usually. Yugo is what happens when you make drunk Communists build a car.

Not a cinephile but a viewr of time. I sceent thise movies man. Good shouts though. Straight time was my favorite of those.

might want to list the movies in the "more" so we can reference

First VCR I saw was in 1978 while my dad was stationed in Spain, we watched Battlestar Galactica recorded and sent from the states. I remember playing Pong on the T.V. in 1977 before going to Spain. Also remember Calico electronic Quarterback game the first handheld game also while in Spain. After coming back to the states, I remember owning Intelevision and most of the games. Then in 1986 I got the Commodore 64. After that was Nintendo 64 before getting my first 386 pc. I also got many watches in between such as the casino calculator and remote watches. I was an early adaptor of the Handspring and the Palm pilot and Windows CE devices. I can remember getting a special cable to hook to my Kyocera cellphone to make my Palm Pilot a Smartphone! For almost 20 years it seemed I'd upgrade computers to play the next great PC title until about 2016 when computers had already outpaced most games and upgrading became less important. These days i mostly use smartphones as they have caught up with most PC's and even surpassed them in many ways. Once in a while I'll look back fondly on these things especially my Sony Walkman!

I more or less blind-bought 'The Friends Of Eddie Coyle' a while back during one of the Criterion Collection's 24-hour 50% off sales. Some of the best money I've ever spent.

@11:38 that was an unnecessary insult

Try considering Pixel-vision! It recorded grainy low-resolution black and white video onto audio cassette tapes! There are still those who utilize this and have Pixel-Vision festivals!

That Jaguar is way too feminine looking.

it’s a great list, thank you. just go easy on the “this movie whispers when others scream “ and “this movie screams when others whisper” i had to giggle when you kept repeating these contradictory words of praise And yes, I know both can be true, just don’t juxtapose them so closely lol

Barry Lyndon a movie that will always stand the test of time its a winner 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Calculator watches are still around ffs. What a gash video.

Le Cercle Rouge looks interesting. Some others here you are not going to be missing anything. Barry Lyndon, of course, if you can find it.

Ha, ha, the Pinto bombed.

Ah, the Yugo... she'll go 300 hectares on a single tank of kerosene. What country is this car from? It no longer exists!

When I was a kid in the early 70s, I had a cassette recorder very similar to the one this video starts with, but mine came with a cool fake leather carrying bag with a shoulder strap that perfectly fit the recorder with strategic holes so you could plug in power, microphone and so on - and it had a flap you could close it up with completely to keep it dry. There was a compartment to store the microphone of course. I carried it around and recorded 'stuff' everywhere. The whole assembly also looked quite a lot like a Star Trek tricorder. I loved that thing. And the picture phone was one of the favourite attractions of the permanent Philips 'building of the future' - the Evoluon - that most Dutch kids of my age probably visited several times with family or on school trips. Two things always come up when people talk about visiting the Evoluon back in the seventies: the long line to have a go at the video phone (they basically hooked up two that could talk to each other) and the massive metal wireframe dinosaur they built in the main lobby that would move its head on its long neck towards the loudest sound in the hall, causing the place to usually be filled with ear piercing shrieks from children trying to get its attention. It moved surprisingly fast considering its size.

what about Porkys

Re. the Magnavox Odyssey: another problem which decreased sales was the false rumor that it would only work on Magnavox televisions.

Barry Lyndon is the most picturesque film ever made. Freeze frame any part of the movie & your left with a framed picture, postcard or masterpiece painting. With the legendary & visionary Stanley Kubrick at the helm this film immerses you in beauty both man made & natural.

8:55 no not nothing it didn't just die because the battery got low when it did get low you would start getting dim pixels in a couple of the pixels might disappear letting you know it's getting close to time to change in the battery if continued use then it would die but it didn't just die you could still finish your math equation then change the batteries😊

I've eaten at most of these but the one that brings back the most Vivid memories is Arthur Treacher's Fish and Chips. The thick wedges of deep fried potatoes dipped in ketchup and malt vinegar sauce was my favorite part. It makes my mouth water just thinking about it

Tesla autopilot hahaha!!

Garbage ai created and narrated

The Subaru 360 and the Yugo. Both brought to America by Malcolm Bricklin. He built a safety sports car with gull wing doors in 1974/75. I own one of those cars.

Great video. More!!!!

Joey’s Little Puppets is another great film from the 70’s. Directed by Storm Reddington.
