If you ever do a video like this for the 1960's, Wait Until Dark with Audrey Hepburn is an excellent choice. A blind woman experiences a home invasion. Drug dealers want a doll her husband accidently put in his suitcase when he was on a business trip. They break into his home and his wife is blind. She keep outsmarting them. it's a great movie. It is very suspenseful.
I inserted my unforgettably favourite movie posters in rigid film strips on my wall and Hal Ashby's 'Harold & Maude' figures ever so prominently. So fantastically great!
Watched it my high-school sci fi class. What the video missed was Dern's character killed his crewmembers, that's why he is alone. Also didn't name Louie till after the robot died.
There is a marvelous, overlooked Walter Matthau/Elaine May comedy from 1971, "A New Leaf." It's hilarious, and if you can't have a good time with this movie, I am sorry for you.
I absolutely love, love, love, love and loooovvee this channel. The films that you highlight, are exactly the kinds of films I hold dear to my heart. Its almost like if I had a dedicated film channel it would like this. And the also what you say about them is pretty much exactly what I feel about them. Seriously, Thanks for these videos. Keep them coming.
Impressive listing. I was a HUGE fan of Vanishing Point, saw it 4 the times that summer. Drive in were fantastic. Might not pay attention to 1st film but always watched Kowalski + that Challenger rocket. BTW when Kowalski's hanging in the desert the nomadic band he hangs w were Delaney + Bonnie and some friends
I have seen SEVEN of these and haven't forgotten a single one, all are AWESOME!!! Other 1970's recommendations, these from my Top 💯 Favorite Films: - The Devils - The Female Prisoner Scorpion series - Assault on Precinct 13 - God Told Me To - The Man Who Fell To Earth - A Bridge Too Far
What a fabulous collection - several I’ve seen and several I will definitely watch asap! However, c’mon you spent two minutes talking about the marvellous The Driver and you NEVER mentioned Isabelle Adjani!!Loved this movie. Great collection of gems.
I also wondered why you didn't mention the alluring Adjani. Then again, you didn't mention Britt Ekland in Wickerman. "Posession" would be the obvious choice for Adjani. A movie I think still holds up. You should do a part 2 with more movies. Straw Dogs would be my vote or some of the great Giallo movies from that time like Suspira, Tenebrae, or Phenomena.
I bought the book for “Picnic at Hanging Rock” and still don’t fully understand it, love the cinematography and eerie feel the whole movie gives us, bravo Peter Weir!
I saw the film when it came out in the 70s. Have to say, I was underwhelmed. Saw it in fact with THE LAST WAVE. Which I like a lot better thatn Wicker Man.
Yes! Very amusing. The same trick was played in the contemporary Papillon, too. Immediately the criminal becomes the victim. Today, of course, we celebrate it wholesale and we are all victims*. *White straight males excepted.
Look at it this way: Every film Philip Kaufman directed in the Seventies is a hidden masterpiece. My favorites are: 1. THE GREAT NORTH FIELD MINNESOTA RAID (1972) is a bold attempt to rescue the Western, using Jesse James for bait. 2. THE WANDERERS (1978), based on Richard Price's first novel, tracks the exact moment when the youth gangs of New York fell into despair during the Sixties, in the form of Bob Dylan and the Vietnam draft. 3. INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS(1979). Kaufman's remake of the Fifties paranoid classic moves the action to San Francisco in the Seventies, with its "Have a nice day, beansprout and asparagus" totalitarianism.
I have seen all except Midnight Express and there are a lot of favorites (Silent Running, Andromeda, Harold & Maude, The Driver). All are great recommendations, so thank you. Silent Running is absolutely stunning. I would add The Evils, Saint Jack, Camera Buff, Between the Lines, The Ascent, Macon County Line, Robin Redbreast, Max and the Junkmen, Let's Scare Jessica to Death, The Hired Hand, Phantom of The Paradise, Frenzy, and The Reckoning.
Midnight Express definitely excellent - but not sure about anyone having to leave the cinema: did anyone ever think prison in Turkey was likely to be anything but awful?
Seen them all!! But i have to admit, i personally didn't care for most of them. Silent Running, Vanishing Point and Lady Snowblood are the only three i find outstanding and all have a place of pride in my vast collection. I was raised at the movies and practically lived at the local Drive-In and movies were a very important factor in my upbringing and helped shape me into the person i am today. Although i didn't care for 7 of them, they are undoubtedly groundbreaking and influential in the history of cinema. Back when film-makers had guts and were willing to lay themselves on the line creatively. Something that today's cinema lacks severely. Good job people at Vintage Verse for making today's younger generation aware of these film classics and for my generation's memories. If you can manage to even get just one young heart to fall in love with classic cinema, then you will have accomplished your mission!
I never saw SILENT RUNNING, But have seen Vanishing Point several times. Lady Snowblood, I really did;t care for, like the sequel actually better. But I respect it as it shows that really revenge is not sweet at all.
You're probably right but it's a weird one for me. While I think the story, acting and direction are great, I kind of hate the whole. And I've no idea why!
The Driver is just a cool movie, as you mentioned Ryan O’Neal’s character has no name. None of the main characters have a name, they’re simply known as The Driver, The Detective and The Player.
All good movies and a couple I missed somehow. Thumbs up but I've never heard the phrase "fever dream" used so many times in one video. And may I suggest mentioning other films from the same director as part of your narrative. You're selling these movies as worth watching after all.
Great choices, some of my all-time favs, lady snowblood new on my radar, will check it out. I will say there are better OZ films than picnic tho, OZ films are unique surreal affairs. I recommend Walkabout in place of picnic.
Are you sure about that. I remember if I am not mistaken, Lee Marvin comments in the film about a car in POINT BLANK, lets see the POWER STEERING. I think what is jmore impressive back then no CGI.
I did not read the book, though I read THE GREAT TRAIN ROBBERY by Michael Crichton. Saw the movie, and though it was very good, very realistic. I liked THE GREAT TRAIN ROBERT as a book, as it also goes in about the times that the story takes place. never saw the movie though.
@@elnick1000 I read The Andromeda Strain while a teenager and became an instant fan of the author. It was a great opening novel for such a young author. The novel was frightening and a great read.
@@elnick1000 Definitely recommend you see The Great Train Robbery. You’ll like it if you liked the book. Sean Connery, Donald Sutherland and Lesley Anne Down at their best. Great movie!
Some of my favorite cult films of the 1970's might include El Topo, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, Amicus horror anthologies, Time After Time, Fantastic Planet, The Brood
I dont get it. People raved about "Harold and Maude" and "The Andromeda Strain" in my part of world. And "Picnic at Hanging Rock" -- I've been watching it for years.
Another good Barry Newman road flick crime drama thriller is Fear is the Key. Its gritty, deep southern feel makes it stand out. Has a tiny bit of Bond flair as well.
Never seen Star Wars but did see The Wicker Man in the cinema & it was "all right", but nothing special: don't recall being "mesmerised" by Christopher Lee's performance - in fact, had forgotten he was in it.
I'll comment later on the movies themselves - I just wanted to point out something. If you're a parent, and you pay attention to the ratings of movies, please consider The Andromeda Strain like a PG-13 movie. It is rated G, yes, but those first scenes where the scientists descend on the town of dead people are truly horrific. G meant something really really different.
Vanishing point San Fran to Denver is 1754miles. According to Google maps it's 17hrs 46 mins by todays standards, In 1971 breakneck speed was 15hrs. I reckon that could be done in 15 hours today with a little bit of tweaking. I suppose there are more freeways today than there were back then, so that would help.
in "The Driver" when that bad guy puts the pillow over the woman's head and shoots her, i think it's one of the most evil acts there ever was in the whole of cinema
1:33 Huh? Wouldn't they wake up in a cold sweat imagining themselves getting stung by a bunch of bees like Nicolas Cage? 🤔😅 I mean, yes, it was disturbing watching the Equalizer get burned alive and Dracula getting a hippy Satanic cult to make it happen. 😮 Still the remake is more of an allergic fear.
The amazing thing about silent running is that there actual people inside the cute robots. Double amputees. Love Bruce dern. My favorite antihero of the era. Shouldn’t the exorcist be included? What about the cheesy disaster movies? What about The Last Detail? I guess you could go on.
Saw THE MAN WHO WOULD BE KING on Christmas Day when it came out. great movie. Though the train scene with the Indian is a little bit cringe. I even felt that way back then. Amazing that it has never got a special edition treatment.
I think "Silent Running" is overrated, boring, and not very interesting. I saw it when it was first released in a theater, and came out underwhelmed. But in 1977, there was "Black Sunday". A very good thriller, with Bruce Dern playing an unhinged Vietnam veteran. Robert Shaw co-stars, and Dern gives a performance that will take your breath away. Watch the scene where he is waiting to see a psychiatrist at a VA center, and you'll be able to see just how good an actor was. The rest? Excellent choices. But as long as you listed "Hanging Rock", there was also the slow burn excellence of "The Last Wave" (1977).
Midnight Express is total fiction with Oliver Stone insisting on making up the horror you described. In fact, Billy Hays had a relatively mild experience in the Turkish prison and eventually went back to Turkey to apologize for the movie. There is an interview with him, in Turkish, when he encountered a Turkish film maker at the Cannes film festival, in which he explains all this.
O lucky man 1973 the war movie the passage 1979 the hunting party 1971 macho Callahan 1970 salon kitty sodomania gods wrath 1972 Robert Mitchem was also great movies yes midnight Express was on of the best movies ever
yes, saw at the time ROBERT MITCHUM in THE YAKUZA, a film that did not really get a good release in the USA. Saw it in its first week, and then it was gone. Also saw and more Successful FAREWELL MY LOVELY.
number one the have remake this movie i seen two of tem the old an the remake number two was a hard movie for this man number 3 not so number 4 my Favoriet action movie with great Ryan O neal an the last one is vanishing point he death when the movie end but there are so many great in my opinion movies i know that because one i am born in the old day an number two i collection movies first it was VHS than dvd an later blue ray but it is my personal movie so not all people are the same
cold sweats haa wake up thinking about Brett Eklands naked calling the constable song and dance worth the price of the ticket alone, Andramada strain what made that movie was the technology they used in the movie was technology of the day or coming technology very soon,
Wicker Man with Nicholas Cage is one of the worst remakes of all time. Hanging Rock with a chick from Game of Thrones was just boring, and Vanishing Point with Vigo Mortensen wasn’t necessary. The video for Auioslave’s “Show Me How to Live” was at least a respectable homage to the original film.
Back in the day when films where made without the woke garbage and over hyped CGI,The film Driver is nearly as brilliant as Bullit with Steve Mcqueen,The Aussie film Wake in Freight after viewing that i thought no cgi how the heck did they do certain scenes that where extremly disturbing
i saw all these movies when they were released to mainstream theatres in the seventiies. they are average experiences, nothing out of the rdinary in any of them, and the only ones that went on to develpop cult followings are the wicker man and harold and maude. the prple post of overwhelming oversatement runs through the hysteria of this phony enthusiam that exists only to increase their streams on the paramount channel.
There’s something very demented about intentionally making hypnotic movies that put people in very negative mind-spaces. I really fail to see the appeal of watching things like this when you can watch something that instead uplifts your spirit

If you ever do a video like this for the 1960's, Wait Until Dark with Audrey Hepburn is an excellent choice. A blind woman experiences a home invasion. Drug dealers want a doll her husband accidently put in his suitcase when he was on a business trip. They break into his home and his wife is blind. She keep outsmarting them. it's a great movie. It is very suspenseful.
Saw "Silent Running" and "The Andromeda Strain" as a double feature in a real movie theater. The 70s were so awesome for film buffs.
Andromeda Strain was excellent as was the book.
Peter Weir's 1977 "The Last Wave" is a favourite 70s movie of mine.
Loved this one!
Liked it better than Picknick At Hanging Rock.
Loved Hanging Rock!❤
I inserted my unforgettably favourite movie posters in rigid film strips on my wall and Hal Ashby's 'Harold & Maude' figures ever so prominently. So fantastically great!
I would also recommend:
The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3;
Capricorn One;
The Mechanic;
Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
I added the first two my other video, I'll need to check out The Mechanic too.
MAD MAGAZINE did a satire called"Taking of Elevator, 1,2 3" ..Their satires of movies and TV shows were classic.
Liked Driver and The Mechanic.
You need to mention Walkabout. My favorite Aussie film from the 70's.
For sure.An absolute classic.A first contact story and a meeting of cultures.
What a sad, scary movie.
Great channel. Thanks!
Thanks for the support William, I appreciate it!
Saw Silent Running when I was about seven years old. I still get teared up thinking about those little robots.
Such a prescient film. It needs a reboot as a series.
Watched it my high-school sci fi class. What the video missed was Dern's character killed his crewmembers, that's why he is alone. Also didn't name Louie till after the robot died.

- The Devils
- The Female Prisoner Scorpion series

Vanishing Point is my favorite!! Super Soul provides the soundtrack!

@@gary_payton Habve teh Driver at home on BLURAY. Actaully like it better than the story I feel it is based on, LA SAMURAI.
Don’t Look Now. Extremely terrifying
I bought the book for “Picnic at Hanging Rock” and still don’t fully understand it, love the cinematography and eerie feel the whole movie gives us, bravo Peter Weir!
Some great selections there. The Wicker Man is one of my favourite movies ever. Shame they bothered with that crappy remake.
Naked Britt alone. No wonder Christopher Lee married her.
@@johndurham6172 (Actually Brit had a double do the nude dancing. Truly great film.)
I saw the film when it came out in the 70s. Have to say, I was underwhelmed. Saw it in fact with THE LAST WAVE. Which I like a lot better thatn Wicker Man.
Excellent video, thanks! I love Harold & Maude, a highly under-rated, offbeat, masterpiece
I saw "The Boys in Company C" over and over again. Great movie nobody ever mentions.
Just watched the driver last week loved it ....🎬,,,,🎥....👍🏼💥 🎭
Midnight Express scarred me as a barely teen watching in the early 80s. Glad to see it on someones list. A great watch.
Yes! Very amusing. The same trick was played in the contemporary Papillon, too. Immediately the criminal becomes the victim. Today, of course, we celebrate it wholesale and we are all victims*.
*White straight males excepted.
An absolutely atrocious film
Anyone thinking of getting into drug smuggling should watch it
same, i dont know how but i watched it when i was young and scared me to no end.
The music is great though
I do know 70s cinema. Currently watching Hard times with Charles Bronson. 😊
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I would add:
"Get Carter" (1971) with Michael Caine portaying a hardboiled mobster on a trip to take revenge.
Great movie, but of course, don't see the remake with Sly Stalone. What a let down.
Look at it this way: Every film Philip Kaufman directed in the Seventies is a hidden masterpiece. My favorites are: 1.

Thanks for the heads up on these picks. I will add to my queue. The two I've seen, Wicker Man and Lady Snowblood, are both great.
My favorite horror movie is Australian film Patrick from 1978.
The driver is awesome
Yes, a great film O’Neal is very good.
Aloha Bobby and Rose, is another of those dreamy 70s gems as well.
Thanks for that recommendation. Seems interesting.
Midnight Express horrified me as a young teenager. But I loved Silent Running so much.
The Legend of Boggy Creek from 1972 scared me when I saw it at the Drive Inn and its still creepy!!
The Andromeda Strain is on of my favorite movies.
The movie that affected me was The Day of the Locust (1975). I was not ready for that.
I love Harold and Maude.
Day of the Locust is one of my faves.
I'w seen a good number of them but will have to look for the others. Dark Star is another forgotten 70s sci-fi classic.
Thank You.

I saw Picnic at Hanging Rock in Film Class in college, and I still love it.
The 70s was a treasure trove of alienation movies and The Driver was the best of the best.
Wicker man was fantastic,was midnight Express another classic.
The “pan flute” in Picnic at Hanging Tock was actually a school recorder.
Spooky movie, never knew if it was real or just a fever dream.
The school recorder is actually a Romanian Nai (pan flute) played by Romanian maestro Gheorghe Zamfir.
Two mote I thought should make the list are Thief with James Caan and Sorcerer with Roy Scheider. Both are very intense.
Great list. A Clockwork Orange needs to be on the list
You're probably right but it's a weird one for me. While I think the story, acting and direction are great, I kind of hate the whole. And I've no idea why!
@@blackmore4 Too real.
oh no, that was a terrible flick by far. Gave me a migraine.
Images is a 1972 psychological horror film directed and co-written by Robert Altman and starring Susannah York,

Ken Russell's The Devils (1971) would go nicely with this list. haven't seen a couple of these, thanks
The car chases back then were more impressive due to no power steering.
Are you sure about that. I remember if I am not mistaken, Lee Marvin comments in the film about a car in POINT BLANK, lets see the POWER STEERING. I think what is jmore impressive back then no CGI.
Everyone read The Andromeda Strain and we were so excited when the movie was released.

Midnight Express convinced me not to visit Muslim nations.
It was based on true events
Saw six of these in the theater.
I dont get it. People raved about "Harold and Maude" and "The Andromeda Strain" in my part of world. And "Picnic at Hanging Rock" -- I've been watching it for years.
Classic!
New Year resolution?
Discover and rediscover the 70s films.
Another good Barry Newman road flick crime drama thriller is Fear is the Key. Its gritty, deep southern feel makes it stand out. Has a tiny bit of Bond flair as well.
Interestingly that film did not get very much notice when it came out.
Vanishing Point, Driver,The Wicker Man, all classics.Yet to see Midnight Express,though.
It terrified teenagers.
Never seen Star Wars but did see The Wicker Man in the cinema & it was "all right", but nothing special: don't recall being "mesmerised" by Christopher Lee's performance - in fact, had forgotten he was in it.
I was watching Silent Running and my wife was literally cringing from Joan Baez's singing. 😂😂😂
Yeahhhh. Maybe not Midnight Express for like a 13 yo? Which is about when I saw it. Probably explains a lot.
Not Bez, Buy-ez
No, not Buy-ez; it’s pronounced Bay-ez.
The driver is a cool movie
Silent Running, Dark Star and Vanishing Point.

The Driver(1978) is Ryan O'Neals best film
10:12 - I would think that this movie was the germ that got us Audioslave's "Show Me How to Live".
Vanishing point San Fran to Denver is 1754miles.
According to Google maps it's 17hrs 46 mins by todays standards,
In 1971 breakneck speed was 15hrs.

Have you seen Don't Look Now with Julie Christie and Donald Sutherland, frightening
Yes! I just added that movie in my recent video!
in "The Driver" when that bad guy puts the pillow over the woman's head and shoots her, i think it's one of the most evil acts there ever was in the whole of cinema
Where can I watch these films?
Do a Google search.
1:33 Huh? Wouldn't they wake up in a cold sweat imagining themselves getting stung by a bunch of bees like Nicolas Cage? 🤔😅 I mean, yes, it was disturbing watching the Equalizer get burned alive and Dracula getting a hippy Satanic cult to make it happen. 😮 Still the remake is more of an allergic fear.

The real Billy Hayes thought the movie was an exaggeration
Before i watch this video i wonder how many of these did i see at the theater with Dad?
You left out LOST HORIZON 1973
Saw all of these but two when they came out. Those likely because foreign and more minor distribution and only in a major market.
I thought Vanishing point, Silent Running and Andromeda were worth a 2nd viewing. The Man Who Would Be King should be on all 70s lists.
Saw THE MAN WHO WOULD BE KING on Christmas Day when it came out. great movie. Though the train scene with the Indian is a little bit cringe. I even felt that way back then. Amazing that it has never got a special edition treatment.
Should have been called "10 cult classics from the EARLY 70s..."
I think "Silent Running" is overrated, boring, and not very interesting. I saw it when it was first released in a theater, and came out underwhelmed. But in 1977, there was "Black Sunday". A very good thriller, with Bruce Dern playing an unhinged Vietnam veteran. Robert Shaw co-stars, and Dern gives a performance that will take your breath away.

Yes, commented that I like that film better than HANGING ROCK.
How bout Diary of a Mad Housewife?
I don't remember the movies mentioned of people running from theaters and having 50 years nightmares except maybe Harold and Maude 🤢

Mad Max 1979
Younger generations were getting their chances for getting rid of old Hollywood ways of filmmaking .
These selection of 70s movies speaks much more about the person who compiled it than about 70s American cinema.

i saw all these movies when they were released to mainstream theatres in the seventiies. they are average experiences, nothing out of the rdinary in any of them, and the only ones that went on to develpop cult followings are the wicker man and harold and maude. the prple post of overwhelming oversatement runs through the hysteria of this phony enthusiam that exists only to increase their streams on the paramount channel.
You spoil way too much
Duh, no one ain't never heard of deeze.
Jacob's ladder 😮
Definitely not 70s.
@@350125GOWindeed.... I saw it at the cinema when it came out....very early 90s for sure. Fantastic movie, though
There’s something very demented about intentionally making hypnotic movies that put people in very negative mind-spaces. I really fail to see the appeal of watching things like this when you can watch something that instead uplifts your spirit
Harold & Maude good.
