Every '70s Movie
Want to truly indulge your jones for '70s movies? Check out "Every 70s Movie", an excellent blog of reviews by author and filmmaker Peter Hanson, who has spent the past seven years seeking out every film released in the U.S. in the 1970s. He also occasionally devotes a week or two to films from 1980, which he argues merit inclusion as they were made in the '70s. Hanson does exclude '70s films that did not play on American movie (or T.V.) screens during the Me Decade, like 1979's STALKER (which you will see on this blog sometime in 2018).
You will learn quite a bit about both mainstream and obscure cinema from this (arguably) best of eras for the medium. "The Best, The Worst, The Weirdest, and Every Far-Out Thing in Between." What a formidable task for Hanson. He requests donations as seeking out some of the lesser known titles can be expensive. I imagine he had to watch some on VHS.
Hanson reports that his mission of providing daily posts for this task will likely conclude this coming March. A few hundred titles of which he is aware will go unseen and un-reviewed as availability is nil. Hopefully readers can fill in the blanks by sharing a videocassette dub made off of television back in the day or even a 35 mm print?
