70's SF and Horror - DaveStrorm - 08-10-2004
All the Planet of the Apes movies (minus the original which I know was in the 60's) and the POTA TV series (which I also have on DVD).
Logan's Run (not a faithful adaptation but I still like it - loved the DC scenes)
Close Encounters of the Third Kind
Jaws
Superman
The Exorcist
Alien
Star Wars
The Omen
Hmmm . . . that's all I can think of right now.
70's SF and Horror - Terry Willacker - 08-10-2004
Logan's Run
Legend of Hell House
Young Frankenstein
Smokey and the Bandit
Jesus Christ Superstar
The Lady in Red
The Poseidon Adventure
The Warriors
Cool World
Smile
and
Billy Jack (I know the plot sucked. The acting sucked. But, it was still fun. Worth mentioning if only for the great theme song.)

4 of the greatest horror films of all time, with Jaws being the most terrifying movie I've ever seen (Open Water is on my must-see list).
I just watched a couple of better-than-average horror flicks from the 70's that I had never before seen: The Dunwich Horror, which is based on Lovecraft's book, was fun, and Burnt Offerings was a solid haunted house chiller.

I actually liked the movie of Logan's Run better than the book. The ending of the book is very convoluted and trippy. I thought the end of the film made much more sense.

Yeah I agree about the ending. But otherwise I thought the book was much better. I didn't like everybody being confined to the domed city, the movie Box, Carousel, raising the age to 30, dropping everything about the Crazy Horse caverns, etc.
Or I should say I prefer the way the book dealt with those things. I mean I still liked the movie or I wouldn't have listed it.
I also liked most of the visuals even though they are obviously dated now. And as I said before, seeing DC as a jungle was almost the equivalent to me of seeing the Statue of Liberty at the end of POTA. I was just stunned.

Yes, The Blues Brothers is from 1980. But that taste was 70's. I like that movie too.

That is the first horror movie that I ever watched completely by myself. I'll have to check out Dunwich Horror. I just watched The Old Dark House. Not bad. Boris Karloff is definitely one intimidating man.
